51. My mother-in-law moved in to ‘help’...and made everything worse

This week we’re diving into the mother-in-law problem: when support turns to control, and when well-meaning advice becomes a slow erosion of your confidence.

We’ll talk about:

• Why mother-in-laws often overstep after a baby arrives

• The emotional undercurrent of fear, loss of relevance, and control

• Why “you’re too sensitive” is code for I don’t want to take responsibility

• How to hold boundaries without blowing up the relationship

• What healthy, respectful help can actually look like

Because sometimes “help” isn’t help and it’s a hidden cost of modern motherhood.

🎧 Listen now to My mother-in-law moved in to ‘help’ — and made everything worse.
And if you’ve ever thought, “It’s not just me, right?” then no, it’s definitely not just you.
