But I think the easiest way to describe it is just guilt, like I just remember feeling very guilty and not understanding why and always felt very responsible for her again without understanding why and looking back.

There was a lot of subtle tears and this is something that is so common with women that share the same experience with their mother kind of saying things like I can't wait to you have children and as I can undercurrent of I can't wait to you go through what I'm going through.

She did say to me had she had a time again she wouldn't have had children I'll never forget. For me it was just these feelings of guilt and responsibility that I did not understand that was just normal to me and I thought that that was a normal feeling to have towards your mother.

Welcome to how my parents raised me I'm Dawn Chitty. When we are born we arrive here as pure and perfect souls and the direction our life takes from that moment is deeply connected to what our parents bring to our lives and what our parents bring to our lives is deeply connected to what their parents brought to their lives.

That's the cycle of families. I have always craved connection with real and raw stories to understand what makes you you what makes you the absolutely unique human that you are.

Stories are medicine for the soul they can connect us and they can change the world and so in this podcast I'm listening to beautiful souls sharing their story.

What happened to them how they got through and how they have healed and thrived despite everything to arrive right here in this moment.

Hey beautiful souls I have to tell you that the best part of my week is connecting with so many beautiful souls.

On Instagram on my podcast I've seriously never met so many beautiful hearted women and men who have been through so much and are healing and growing and doing the most amazing things in the world.

This week my guest is Michaela Tyson. Michaela is such a beautiful gentle natured soul.

She has an amazing Instagram account where she's sharing her story of growing up with a narcissistic mother and I'm so happy to be able to dig a little deeper with Michaela and hear her full story today.

Michaela describes her mum as a vulnerable narcissist. The vulnerable narcissist isn't as obvious as other types.
