Are You My Mommy? Parent Vs Child Roles in Relationships

Listen "Are You My Mommy? Parent Vs Child Roles in Relationships"

Episode Synopsis

Are You My Mommy?” dives into why some of us become the fixer, the planner, the emotional load-bearer, and the one who tries to hold everything together even when no one asked us to. Kay opens up about her own experiences (yes… it gets personal), and she and Amy explore how these patterns start, why they’re so hard to break, and what it actually looks like to step out of the “mom” role for your own sanity.
We’re talking:
•The difference between healthy support and emotional parenting
•Why certain personalities become the “default caregiver”
•What happens when the parent-role friend burns out
•How to shift into relationships that feel more balanced, mutual, and freeing
If you’ve ever felt responsible for everyone else’s life, emotions, or decisions, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a reality check.
Listen in, laugh with us, and maybe—just maybe—retire from being everyone’s mom.
