Smart Living with Grit and Grace

How to Be the Mother Yours Wasn’t – 196


Listen Later

No mother-daughter relationship is perfect, but some are more difficult than others.

In this episode, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender sit down to share the distinct challenges they each had with their moms growing up. They open up about how the dysfunctional dynamic impacted their own motherhood duties and what they chose to do differently with their own children. 

Through each of their stories, you’ll glean advice on what to do (and not do) in your relationship with your child, how you can begin the process of mending a fractured mother-daughter relationship, and get the confidence you need to be the mother yours wasn’t.

Quote of the episode:

“There’s nothing better than a mom who’s already traversed the road that you’re on.” —Darlene Brock
