Finding Peace After Estrangement - Tay's Mother-Daughter JourneyIn this powerful episode, I sit down with Tay who courageously shares her journey through a decade of estrangement from her mother. From unexplained changes in their relationship after moving back to Trinidad from the UK to physical altercations that led to complete breaks in communication, Tay reveals the complex path that eventually led to reconciliation. She explains how her boundaries evolved over time, how she found peace without receiving the apology she craved for years, and how she's navigated rebuilding a relationship that looks different than before but still offers connection.
