FOR GOOD DAUGHTERS' SAKE launches
New year, new podcast!
Announcing the launch of a new podcast series, FOR GOOD DAUGHTERS' SAKE that explores the psychology of growing up in families where emotional needs were overlooked, minimised, or conditional — even when material needs were met.
Each episode blends:
Psychological insight
Trauma-informed frameworks
Cultural context (particularly Asian and immigrant family dynamics)
Practical reflections you can apply to daily life
Episodes are designed to be accessible, reflective, and validating, without jargon or pathologising language.
Common themes across the podcast include:
Mother-daughter relationship dynamics
Mother hunger and unmet attachment needs
Emotional neglect and its long-term effects
High-functioning anxiety and burnout
Guilt, people-pleasing, and boundary struggles
Family expectations in Asian and immigrant households
Reparenting, self-compassion, and emotional regulation
Identity, belonging, and life transitions
Each episode focuses on understanding patterns, not blaming parents or cultures.
This podcast may resonate with you if you:
Feel emotionally distant or conflicted about your relationship with your mother
Grew up being “the good daughter” or the responsible one
Appear successful but feel internally anxious, lonely, or unsettled
Struggle with guilt when setting boundaries with family
Are navigating adulthood, career, relationships, or major life changes
Want psychologically grounded insight that feels culturally relevant
