free event for daughters of narcissistic mothers
|
I am thrilled to be one of 12 trauma-informed experts who are part of Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers, a free online event created specifically for those who struggle as a result of a mother wound. Collectively, we are dedicated to helping you overcome the devastating impact of having an emotionally abusive mother. This event takes place September 23 - 25 and each presentation is geared toward this shared experience, making it more effective and relatable than mainstream self-help. My topic, Cultivating an Intentional Identity Instead of a Shame-Based Identity, is on Wednesday, September 24 (and may include a barking dog ;-). You can see the full line-up of other speakers here. Much, much love, Karen P.S. Get your free ticket here. |
