The Story of… You!
A thank you to my subscribers.
Hello and happy Sunday! I hope you’re all doing really well. This week’s newsletter is dedicated to you! Thank you so much for following and supporting The Stories of Us.
Appreciating you
It truly means a lot to me, and I’ve loved connecting with you all. Whether you’re someone who relates to the experience of maternal narcissism or a personal friend, I’m grateful to have you here.
January
Unlike any other year, the January blues hit me hard towards the end of the month. I started off feeling incredibly enthusiastic, so it’s been a shock to already feel deflated. I hope that feeling doesn’t linger too long, but I’ve had to be honest with myself - this time of year, and this year in particular, still feels emotionally tricky. That said, sitting down to write this feels good.
How about you? Are you relieved January is over, or are you feeling on top of the world? I sincerely hope it’s the latter, but if not - know you’re not alone.
One year
This month, alongside some other significant dates, marks the one-year anniversary of my mum’s passing. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year. It still feels like it just happened, yet 12 months is not a just happened.

That’s it from me for now. See you next week, and I hope your day is filled with rest and joy.

My favorite newsletter is “is my mom a narcissist?” That’s what really connected me with your work, and I found so many things you and my own mom shared. It’s so good that you’re creating this for other women to read, not feel so alone!
First of all, thank you for your vulnerability in sharing your perspectives, it made me open up to share mine. You internalise so much and you think it's your fault and you are the only one.
The Blame Game newsletter stuck out the most as you could have been describing my own mother.
January was an odd start but as I was in a hurry but sickness made me stop and put me on the right track haha! I hope you continue to be kind to yourself and meet yourself with compassion! Thank you again for your gift, it truly is a light 💞💞
