Mother Wounds, Narcissists & Women Over 50: What No One Talks About

Many women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond find themselves asking the same painful question....“How did I end up here again?”

In this episode of Healing Forward with Barbara La Pointe, I sit down with psychotherapist, soul-healer, and life-guidance coach Nathalie Volan to explore how unhealed childhood wounds—especially mother wounds—can quietly shape our adult relationships.

We discuss how unresolved emotional trauma can create patterns that leave women vulnerable to narcissistic, emotionally abusive, manipulative, or toxic romantic and business relationships.

If you've ever struggled with:
✨ People pleasing
✨ Repeating painful relationship patterns
✨ Narcissistic abuse recovery
✨ Difficulty setting boundaries
✨ Emotional exhaustion
✨ Toxic friendships or business partnerships
✨ Feeling unseen, unheard, or never “enough”

Healing doesn’t begin with blaming ourselves. It begins with understanding the root.
