What happens when you’ve survived the chaos but still don’t feel safe inside your own skin?
In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we unpack what it really means to reclaim safety, power, and self-trust after trauma, especially after growing up with a narcissistic or emotionally limited mother.
You’ll learn:
*Why your nervous system still scans for danger even when life is calm.
*How to tell the difference between trauma brain and wise mind.
*What integration actually looks like: when your body starts to believe what your wise mind already knows.
*How boundaries protect your peace (and why pushback means they’re working).
*Practical steps for rebuilding self-trust when control used to equal safety.
This is a look at the messy middle of healing, that in-between stage where trauma isn’t running the show anymore but it’s still backstage waiting for its cue.
If you’ve ever wondered why peace feels uncomfortable, why your body doesn’t believe your progress, or how to feel safe in your own story again, this episode is for you.
