#narcissisticparent #narcissisticmanipulation #maternalnarcissism Have you become an expert in maternal narcissism only to still feel the pain it caused you every day? Have you set a million boundaries only to keep falling back into the old loop of pain?  Have you talked and talked about it, rationalised it in every possible way, only for all the copying patterns to still be showing up?  I get it. I've been doing what doesn't work for a long time, until I found what works and that has changed everything for me, and for my clients too! This is what I want to share with you today.

In this episode I explain what happens when you are unsafe to process emotions in childhood with a narcissistic mother, how your system finds a safer way to let emotions surface and the importance of creativity and community in all of this.

The toxic behaviour of a narcissistic mother is likely to worsen when she is going through grief. In this episode you will get to see what happens when a narcissistic mother goes into grieving, to best prepare yourself for this if it's coming, and to know you are not alone if you are experiencing this.

In this episode, we explore strategies for balancing debt payment with essential expenses, even when money is tight. We'll dive into practical tips on defining true necessities, prioritizing your spending, and organizing your finances to make consistent progress toward your goals. Make sure to listen to the full episode for tips that can transform how you handle debt. Hosting Today: I'm Ashley Patrick, ex detective turned debt-free CEO of my very own business and stay at home mom of three. Not too long ago, my dreams of staying at home with my kids seemed impossible. I thought I'd have to stay miserable in a high stress demanding job, just so I could retire someday. After gaining the confidence in my own ability to manage my family's finances and a simple step-by-step plan to make it happen, I was able to pay off $45,000 in just 17 months, which then allowed me to finally quit my job, stay at home with my kids, and build a debt-free business. Now, my mission is to help moms like you conquer debt and free themselves from the mental load of handling their family's finances. “You've got to prioritize it if you want to pay off debt. It has to be a priority. It can't be just the last thing because, guess what, there won't be anything left if you just send what's left at the end of the month. I promise you, things will come up, things will happen, and if you see that money sitting there in your account, and if you're not really, really committed and intentional with what you've got sitting there, it will go to something else.” - Ashley Patrick Struggling to budget?
