The relationships between a mother and her daughter can carry a bit of a stigma or troupe for being complicated and messy. 

This week, Mickenzie and Lindsey connect with Kelly McDaniel, a licensed professional counselor, author, mother, and women’s advocate, to discuss the topic she has become most known for: Mother Hunger. Together, the three explore how our relationships with our mothers—men and women—can set the stage for every other relationship in our lives and how healing our attachment is a pivotal step in healing our relationships with our mothers.
