You're Not Crazy: A Podcast for Cycle Breakers with Toxic Parents

From navigating visibility as a therapist talking openly about toxic family systems, to setting boundaries around social media, content creation, and emotional labor, this episode is a grounded, honest look at what it actually takes to do this work sustainably as a cycle breaker. Torie shares why she’s recommitting to the podcast, simplifying where her energy goes, and being more intentional about how and where she shows up. She also talks candidly about burnout, backlash, self doubt, and what it means to keep choosing growth when you were conditioned to stay small. This episode covers: -Personal reflections from a year of growth, visibility, and boundary setting -The emotional cost of talking publicly about narcissistic and toxic parents -Why simplifying is a form of healing, not quitting -Reprioritizing the podcast and stepping back from what no longer fits -Looking ahead to 2026 with more clarity, intention, and self trust Are you loving the podcast?

In this episode of You’re Not Crazy, we talk about why the holidays feel so heavy when you grew up with a narcissistic, emotionally immature, or unpredictable parent. We explore why perfection is not possible, why black-and-white thinking keeps cycle breakers stuck, and why self-compassion is one of the most regulating tools you can practice during this time of year. You’ll hear: Why the holidays are uniquely triggering for adult children of toxic parents How dissociation and “go go go” mode show up as survival responses Why there is no perfect decision when family dynamics are complicated How to notice when you are being harsh with yourself and interrupt that pattern A personal story about navigating imperfect holidays as a cycle-breaking parent This is a reminder that breaking the cycle does not require perfection. It requires flexibility, self-compassion, and learning to live in the gray. If you want deeper support with boundaries, guilt, and emotional regulation around your parent, the Confident Boundaries with Toxic Parents course is the foundational next step. It gives you the structure, language, and nervous system support that most cycle breakers were never taught.Enroll here: https://www.confidentboundaries.com/course If you’re looking for more support over the holidays, the You’re Not Crazy: The Private Feed includes bonus episodes, archived content, and ad-free listening.Join the private feed here: https://www.confidentboundaries.com/private Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of the most important mindset shifts for healing from narcissistic parents or emotionally immature parents: stop asking if they’re a “good person” and start focusing on their repeated behaviors. So many cycle breakers get stuck in the what ifs: What if they don’t mean to hurt me? What if they’re doing their best? What if they had a hard childhood too? But here’s the truth: your healing doesn’t depend on their intentions—it depends on their behavior. When your parent repeatedly dismisses, minimizes, or harms you despite you telling them it hurts, that’s the real issue. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why focusing on “good vs. bad” keeps you stuck in the cycle How to identify harmful patterns of behavior in your parent Practical ways to reclaim your power and protect your peace This shift will help you get out of the weeds, stop wasting energy, and finally set boundaries that stick.

In this episode, I talk about the complicated grief that surfaces once we begin setting boundaries and creating distance from toxic, narcissistic, or emotionally immature parents. I share what it looked like in my own life— the emotional toll of being a parentified child, and why our healing journey often involves mourning the milestones we missed while we were just trying to survive. This conversation is especially for those who feel behind in life, who struggle with guilt for being sad about the past, or who just need to hear that it’s okay to grieve what should have been. Because healing from a toxic parent doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t hurt—it means being honest with our reality, making space for that pain, and still choosing to move forward.

Inside, you’ll get instant access to a curated starter bundle of some of my favorite episodes and articles to support your healing from family dysfunction. In today’s episode, we’re digging into a question I hear often from adult children of narcissistic parents or those with unmanaged BPD: “Why do I keep ending up in toxic relationships?” When you grow up with emotionally immature or abusive parents, you're taught to dismiss your gut, minimize your needs, and tolerate mistreatment. That pattern doesn’t magically disappear in adulthood. You’re not doomed to repeat these patterns forever. You can learn healthy love—and it starts with understanding what was never your fault to begin with. 📲 Download the Confident Boundaries app now to start healing with practical tools and community support.

If you’re breaking toxic cycles in a family marked by emotional immaturity, narcissism, or borderline traits, there’s something we don’t talk about enough: the profound loneliness that can come with healing. You’re not just setting boundaries—you’re stepping out of the role your family expected you to play. Maybe you were the peacekeeper, the fixer, the golden child, or the scapegoat. But once you stop playing by the unspoken rules, the system fights to pull you back in. What hurts the most is realizing your family often wants access to the old version of you—not the healthier, more boundaried version you’ve worked so hard to become. That rejection can feel like losing your family all over again. This episode is for the cycle breakers—the ones doing the heavy lifting, often in silence, wondering if anyone else truly gets it. You’ll learn: Why healing often feels lonelier before it feels better How to reframe your isolation as a sign of growth Where to find real, mutual support outside of dysfunctional systems Ready to connect with other cycle breakers?
