There’s a point where “staying humble” stops being wisdom and starts being a survival strategy you never chose. I’ve watched brilliant women shrink themselves because the mother wound taught them that taking up space is dangerous. This post digs into how spiritual bypassing fuels that pattern, why even the strongest women get pulled into it, and what changes when you finally stop making yourself small.

Did you grow up believing it’s their job to keep their mother stable, calm, or emotionally intact? I’ve seen how this instinct becomes a lifelong survival response—one that feels like love, but functions like self-abandonment. This post unpacks why you were never meant to save your mum, how fused relationships form, and what shifts when you finally put that burden down.
