    When she's not a nasty, abusive mother

    When she's not a nasty, abusive mother

    I help adults navigate and heal from complex relationships with their mothers (narcissistic or not), so they can live unshamed.

    I also have a place in my practice for mothers who want to repair the relationship they have with their adult daughters (although I can't guarantee how your adult daughter will respond).

    I got you.

    I help women navigate complex relationships with their mothers (narcissistic or not), so they can live the lives THEY want, not the lives their mothers think they should have.

Feels like I found a lifeline

I cannot express how much I appreciate this podcast - I truly love everything about it. The bite-sized episodes are perfect, the music (and Karen’s voice) is so calming, and listening to each one feels like calling in a fairy godmother when I need comfort, grounding… or simply just to pause, breathe, and realign my focus if I’m feeling overwhelmed or out of whack.

I love how authentic and genuine each one is - it’s a breath of fresh air compared to the slew of podcasts that exist today. Nothing fancy, just a quiet, gentle “visit” from someone it feels like I’ve known in another life. Thank you Karen, thank you.

Thank you!

Finally! Someone who really understands the difficulties of surviving a dysfunctional Mother-Daughter relationship. Much needed awareness & put into words for helping oneself overcome emotional & mental trauma from an unhealthy relationship passed down from my Mother’s Mother. Cannot thank you enough for the kind words & positive healing words that help me as an Adult Daughter.

Tiny jewels of wisdom

This podcast is a series of beautifully written vignettes filled with gentle lessons on self love. Karen’s soft voice put to soothing background music always calms and reassures me. All the stories are candid, authentic, deeply personal, and strangely relatable. Although the facts of our lives can’t be more different, Karen’s dissection of her emotional experience rings true to me every time. I especially appreciate how, with surgeon like precision, she articulates the steps to remove anguish producing thinking.
Thank you for your hard work and for sharing your life with the world.
