	EP23: ARE MOMS REALLY NARCISSISTS?	14 mars 2025	00:17:37
Summary In this episode of Mum's True Tea, Kendall Lasha delves into the complex dynamics between mothers and their children, particularly focusing on the rising trend of labeling mothers as narcissists. She challenges the audience to reflect on their perceptions of motherhood, the impact of therapy on familial relationships, and the importance of empathy and understanding in the healing process. Through personal anecdotes and thought-provoking questions, Kendall emphasizes the need for forgiveness, the recognition of mothers as individuals with their own traumas, and the responsibility each person has for their own healing journey. Takeaways All moms are not narcissists; this label is overused. Therapy should be a tool for healing, not a weapon. Mothers are human beings with their own struggles. Children often overlook their mothers' sacrifices. Forgiveness can be a personal choice, independent of apologies. Healing requires empathy for both oneself and others. Setting boundaries doesn't mean being cruel or judgmental. A good mother often goes unnoticed in her efforts. Self-reflection is crucial when feeling triggered. Healing should not lead to selfishness or heartlessness.

	EP20: SET YOURSELF FREE FROM THE WEIGHT OF YOUR CHILDREN'S CHOICES	01 févr. 2025	00:15:06
Summary In this conversation, I discuss the emotional burdens that mothers carry due to their children's choices, emphasizing the importance of shedding these burdens to achieve personal freedom and peace. I highlight some of the struggles of parenting, particularly in the face of addiction and legal troubles, rebellion, and advocate for authenticity and setting boundaries as essential steps for mothers to protect their mental health. The conversation encourages mothers to learn to let go, stop trying to control the situations their children put themselves in, seek support, be honest about their feelings, and prioritize their well-being while allowing their children to face the consequences of their actions. Takeaways We need to let go of the weight of our children's choices. Rescuing our kids often stems from our own pride. Watching a child struggle is gut-wrenching and heartbreaking. Shame thrives in silence; sharing our struggles is powerful. Authenticity brings freedom and connection. Allowing children to face consequences is crucial for their growth. Setting boundaries is an act of love for both parent and child. You cannot pour from an empty cup; prioritize your well-being. Emotional weight can be just as burdensome as physical weight. Choosing peace is essential for a fulfilling life.

	EP18: Black Women OPT-OUT! We're Not Saving Anyone Else	25 nov. 2024	00:23:13
Join me as I discuss the emotional and psychological toll on Black women following the recent election results and how we need to Opt-Out of saving everyone else and heal from savior syndrome. We need to work hard at unraveling the encoding in our DNA that has made us the nurturers of others, learn to prioritize self-care, our mental well-being, and healing over the societal expectation to be saviors. The conversation explores the historical context of Black women's roles as caregivers and nurturers, the burden of resilience, and the importance of setting boundaries to protect mental health. Chapters 00:00 Opting Out of the Savior Role 10:06 The Burden of Strength and Resilience 19:45 Setting Boundaries and Prioritizing Self-Care Takeaways We are opting out of being the savior. Black women are often expected to be strong and resilient, which dismisses their struggles. The recent election results have led to feelings of hopelessness among Black women. Self-care is not just about pampering; it's about true emotional and mental well-being. Black women are dying at alarming rates due to stress and neglect of self-care. Setting boundaries is essential for mental health and well-being. The historical context of Black women's roles impacts their current mental health. It's important to recognize who supports us in our lives. We need to stop making excuses for those who don't show up for us. Prioritizing ourselves is not selfish; it's necessary.

	EP13: HELP: Single Moms AINT Safe!	05 sept. 2024	00:20:40
In this eye-opening episode of Mum's True Tea, I dive deep into the emotional toll that motherhood can take on mental health, including how it can lead to PTSD. I explore the backlash I received for speaking this truth, especially as a single mom. Society often paints motherhood as a joyful experience, but for many, it’s far from the truth. Single moms face intense financial, emotional, and physical burdens, often with little to no support from partners, family, or their community. We discuss the harsh realities of absent fathers and the lack of understanding from those who fail to recognize the struggles single moms endure. Plus, why men who despise single moms often have unresolved issues of their own. Let’s shed light on these tough truths and call for the support and empathy single mothers deserve.

	EP12: Managing Motherhood or Is Motherhood Managing You?	08 août 2024	00:12:08
In this episode I discuss how managing motherhood is more about moving through it and learning along the way. We don't really manage mothehood, motherhood manages us. Society often silences the struggles of mothers, but it's important to have support and express our true feelings about motherhood some days. It's okay to have regrets and struggles in motherhood. To navigate motherhood, it's important to let go of mom guilt, remove codependency, and embrace imperfections. Creating space and finding a community for moms who haven't had a great experience is crucial. Social media often portrays a perfect image of motherhood, but it's important to show self-compassion and prioritize self-care. Setting boundaries, managing time, and finding a supportive tribe are key to managing motherhood.

	EP11: Gen X Parents: Did We Get It Wrong with Our Kids?	25 juil. 2024	00:11:05
In this episode, I discuss how some of us Gen X parents need to take accountability for how we may have gotten it wrong with our parenting and how we may have failed or enabled our children and the importance of setting boundaries with our children without feeling guilty. I reflect on the independence and resilience of the Gen X generation and how we may have done our children a disservice by trying to be friends in lieu of parents, giving them more than they needed or deserved, wanting to be so understanding and giving them so much freedom and less discipline which is in stark comparison to how we were raised by our paretns. This may have resulted in a sense of entitlement and a lack of resilience in the younger generation. We see the impacts of always being the safety net for our kids, we didn't teach them financial responsibility and there are negative consequences of enabling children. We should have been setting boundaries, because contrary to what societs says, boundaries are a loving act that promotes independence, resillence, respect, and appreciation. We made our suffering and struggles look too easy.
