Season 3 Episode 67: From Entitlement to Empathy: Redefining Love and the Mother/Daughter Relationship

Today we discuss the sometimes difficult, yet rewarding relationships between mothers and daughters. We speak with Pam Tronson, parenting coach with a special certification in mother/daughter relationships. The connection between a mother and daughter is one of the strongest and most important family relationships. Accepting that it can be difficult and messy is key to being able to navigate the highs and lows. Bound by love we are often disappointed when our adult relationships with our daughters don’t meet the dream we had for  that relationship. Pam offers solutions to help us let go of control and worry and avoid resentment. She discusses how the shame we feel, about the perceived “failed” relationship can get in the way of the repair that is needed.Resolution only requires one person to change the trajectory of the relationship. And showing one another that they are worth the effort is impactful.Learning to practice self-care and to love yourself is the key to setting the necessary boundaries to build better, more meaningful relationships with our daughters. Asking the right questions of ourselves and our daughters will help guide productive conversations. What else could be true? Am I part of the problem or part of the solution? And learn to stop comparing ourselves and our relationships with our daughters to what we perceive others have. Huge thank you to Connie Gorant Fisher, our audio engineer.
