    Reckoning - When Truth Comes Knocking

    What happens when the truth finally costs too much to carry?In the final episode of ReMothered Season One, Lori returns to the moment everything broke open—the discovery of the stolen $15,000 from the family farm. But this isn’t just a story about theft. It’s about the instant a daughter realizes she cannot keep protecting what is destroying her.This episode marks the internal shift—the quiet, seismic moment of dissociation from enmeshment. The realization: I am not a cohort. I cannot be complicit. It is the beginning of the end, even though walking away would take another twenty years.Through intimate storytelling, this episode explores narcissistic abuse, family loyalty, secrecy, and the long arc of estrangement. It is about how survival patterns form, why leaving takes time, and how clarity often arrives long before action is possible.If you’re navigating parental estrangement, recovering from narcissistic family dynamics, or drawn to indie podcasts that blend emotional truth with investigative storytelling, this season finale was made for you.Season One ends here—but the reckoning has only begun

    The Diagnosis: The Illness That Changed My Life

    What happens when the moment you choose yourself… your mother suddenly gets sick?In this episode of ReMothered, Lori tells the story of the phone call that changed everything — the biopsy that returned “positive,” the instant switch into caretaker mode, and the decision to walk away from a dream opportunity in Vancouver to return home.But as casseroles piled up and prayers rolled in, something didn’t add up.The Diagnosis is an exploration of emotional manipulation disguised as illness, the duty trap of enmeshment, and the quiet instincts that whisper when something isn’t right — even when love tells you to ignore them.This episode asks one haunting question: What kind of mother builds a lie so big her child gives up her life for it?If you’ve ever wrestled with loyalty, guilt, or the cost of constantly putting someone else first, this story may feel uncomfortably familiar.You’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it. Content Note: This episode includes themes of emotional manipulation, family dysfunction, and illness-related deception.Follow & Connect TikTok: @lori_rising Instagram: re.mothered_podcast email: remotheredpodcast@gmail.com Media Requests: trollinajarproductions@gmail.com

This episode touches on childhood enmeshment, parental control, small-town life, and finding mentorship as a way to grow. Perfect for listeners interested in healing from narcissistic abuse, family dynamics, mental health, and personal growth.

    Carbon Copy

    Episode 8 — Carbon Copy What happens when a child becomes the outline instead of the author?This episode explores the quiet, consuming shape of enmeshment — when “being close” slips into becoming a carbon copy. From copied tastes and borrowed perfume to triangulation, guilt-curfews, and the soft gaslighting that rewrites a future into something “sensible,” Lori traces how identity gets pressed thin under someone else’s paper… and how it starts to grow back. This chapter moves between memory, psychology, and a letter to Little Lori — an unsealing of what was borrowed, what was lost, and what is finally reclaimed. If you grew up being praised for closeness that actually cost you yourself, this one might feel like a flashlight. CONTENT NOTE:This episode contains discussion of narcissistic abuse, enmeshment, emotional manipulation, triangulation, financial deceit, and parentification. Listener discretion is advised.

    Candles

    Birthdays are supposed to bless—not test. I woke up with a clean kind of hope and ended the day reading a room like a budget. On the farm: fried patties, boiled potatoes, gifts with price tags spoken out loud, and a mask I didn’t choose. In Edmonton: my Gram and Pa’s house glowed—gifts without secrets, a table that always had room. Between performance and belonging, I learned why “happy birthday” sometimes sounded like “perform correctly.” As I turn forty-eight, I’m reclaiming the ritual—choosing the house that felt like my heart and rebuilding it where I live now.

    The Family Name

    Episode 6 — The Family Name In an oil-and-ag town where reputation is currency, a sign in a gas-station window turns a private crisis public: Do not accept cheques from him. My dad brings the storm home; what follows isn’t confession—it’s fog: denial, deflection, and the slow math of soft gaslighting. Between the sign everyone can see and the silence at our table, I track the moment my autonomy read like betrayal—and why a part of me still wondered if she might be innocent, even when my body already knew. Content notes: financial abuse, yelling, gaslighting dynamics. —Connect with Lori• TikTok: @lori_rising• Instagram: @re.mothered_podcast• Email: remotheredpodcast@gmail.com If this met you where you are, follow, rate, and share.
