Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.Most days, I don’t think about my multiple narcissistic parents AT ALL. That may be difficult to believe, but it’s true.

Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.Everyone has feelings.That may sound like a simple, obvious fact.

Sailing Different Ships

Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent. Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.One lesson I learned…very early on…was that Life doesn’t stop just because you have some figuring out to do. Being raised by narcissists can be compared to living with grief. Life doesn’t stop for that either.Whether living with narcissists or living with grief, you never get over it, it’s not a competition with others

Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.This topic may not apply to ALL children raised by narcissists, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was experienced by many.

Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.As I have said in a previous episode, “Keep your receipts!” Receipts come in all shapes and sizes. Some look like damning letters or nasty texts, while others look like a harmless, thoughtful, sincere anniversary card. Looks are deceiving!

Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent. Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.In this episode, I discuss one of the biggest struggles of children raised by narcissists…the struggle for self-love. Although the struggle is real, it does not mean it is impossible or that we are incapable of loving ourselves. Quite the opposite is true. Narcissists do their best to control or manipulate everything, including our

Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.So…if I told you that the title of this episode is, “There’s No Place Like Home,” would you close your eyes, click your heels together three times and hope for the best like Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz”? I am quite fortunate. If I did that, I wouldn’t go anywhere. I am already home. I can relate to Dorothy for many reasons. Here

Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent.

Bitten by a Snake

Daughters Who Dare ·

2026/03/08

Living in the UK comes with its perks. Sunshine isn’t one of them (haha). But, knowing that I will never encounter a venomous snake is a perk that I appreciate, even though I don’t often think about it. I can’t say the same about the narcissists in my life. Their bites - both poisonous and repetitive - happen anytime and anywhere.Unlike most people in the wild, children of narcissists aren’t just thinking/worrying about ONE snake or ONE bite. No such luck! We are wondering when the NEXT bite is

Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent. Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope.One thing that has become perfectly clear to me is that narcissists are great performers.

How Much Does it Cost

For those navigating toxic, narcissistic family relationships, we are all too aware of the price we have paid and continue to pay.In some very real ways, it feels like we are being robbed every single day. What can cost that much? I am referring to the LOSS that happens when - as a child of narcissists - you choose to stand up, speak out, speak your truth and, if necessary, cut ties altogether.
