Parenting Grown-Ups: How Not to Be a Narc Mum

Dec 16, 2025
43 mins

Episode Description

Kate and Tansy close out the year with their most unfiltered episode yet — tackling the big taboo topic: what actually makes a healthy mother-daughter relationship?

From estrangement and boundaries to doom piles and dirty bathrooms, the girls cover it all — including why performing love on Mother’s Day or tolerating toxic family traditions isn’t the vibe. Plus: why being a “good parent” doesn’t stop at 18, and how intergenerational trauma shows up in the smallest (and loudest) ways.

Expect:
🎁 Rethinking holidays and emotional labour
🚫 Why your adult kid doesn’t owe you their Christmas
👣 Body image, intergenerational shame, and breaking the cycle
👩‍👧 Parenting adult children: what not to do
🧼 The boundary line between helpful and controlling
💬 Real talk about estrangement, narcissistic mothers, and growing up with dysfunction

This one’s equal parts heartfelt and hilarious — with plenty of roast turkey, Target meltdowns, and Kris Jenner wisdom in the mix.
