Four Years No Contact: A Mother-Daughter Reconciliation StoryIn this episode, we dive deep into the powerful and often complex world of mother-daughter relationships with bestselling authors Leslie and Lindsay Glass. After surviving a tumultuous history involving addiction, codependency, and a four-year period of complete "no contact," Leslie and Lindsay share the tools they used to reconcile and build a relationship based on respect and healthy boundaries. They discuss their journey from "killing people" in mystery novels to helping families heal through their Mother-Daughter Relationship Makeover series and their platform, Reach Out Recovery.With this episode you’ll be able to:Understanding your own history, your mother’s history, and the generational traits passed down to you.Recognizing the specific topics (like money, food, or appearance) that lead to repeated explosions.Learning to "get soft" and changing the language used during disagreements.Practicing forgiveness and nurturing yourself, regardless of whether the other person is ready to change.When first reconciling after years of silence, the duo focused on safe, neutral topics like weather, recipes, and pets rather than immediately diving into past traumas.A healthy relationship is built on mutual respect, which includes not calling names, not screaming, and knowing when to take a walk to de-escalate tension.In the repair process, focusing on "who is right" is less important than acknowledging the different emotional experiences each person had.Removing alcohol and mind-altering substances from the equation is a critical step in reducing family conflict and emotional "drama".Thank you for listening.
