Meet Your Host
Hi, I'm Laura
As a trauma-informed coach, I help daughters of narcissistic mothers understand why the coping mechanisms they developed as children create self-sabotage in adulthood and how they can heal.
My book It's Not Your Fault: The Subconscious Reasons We Self-Sabotage and How to Stop helps readers overcome the far-reaching impact of childhood trauma so they can discover their true selves and live authentic lives.
