The Mama Shrink Podcast with Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver is a raw, compassionate space for midlife moms navigating the emotional aftermath of toxic relationships, narcissistic abuse, divorce, and burnout. Hosted by a licensed psychologist and certified coach with 25+ years of experience (and lived it herself), Dr. Cynthia dives deep into the hard stuff: gaslighting, single parenting, parallel parenting with a high-conflict ex, emotional exhaustion, identity loss, grief, and healing. Each episode brings insight, validation, and real tools for women parenting through pain and trying to rebuild their lives—without shrinking themselves in the process. Whether you’re recovering from a toxic marriage, trying to set boundaries, or just crying in your car between drop-offs, you’re not alone. Subscribe now to reclaim your strength and take your next brave step toward healing.

This week on The Mama Shrink Podcast, we’re talking about one of the hardest, most painful truths: You can’t make someone change if they don’t want to.
You can love them. Beg them. Do everything “right.” But if they’re not willing to change, nothing will change.
🎧 Season 3, Episode 3 – Hope, Grief, and Letting Go: What to Do When They Won’t Change is out now.
In this episode, I walk you through:
✔️ Why your empathy and effort won’t save someone who won’t change
✔️ How grief, trauma bonds, and guilt keep you stuck
✔️ What boundaries and healing really look like
This one is real. Raw. And necessary.
