In Part 2 of our conversation with Lori we discuss what we can do to cultivate a relationship when openness and honesty feels safe. We examine how our beliefs about gender impact the way we raise our children, as well as the danger of casting roles to our children and what this can do to the sibling relationship. Jessica and Lori share how they approach disagreements when it comes to Jessica’s daughter, and they share with us their secret ingredient to navigating stressful times!

In today’s episode, Jessica’s mom Lori Goodman joins us at The Mothers’ Roundtable!

In Part 1 of our conversation, Lori shares with us her personal experience of instinctively forging a new path in motherhood, and the possibilities that have become available to her as a result of this choice.

We discuss the importance of maintaining a strong identity outside of motherhood, balancing the work of parenting with creating friendship within a mother-daughter relationship, and how the inner work that comes with parenting is as much for the parent as it is for our children.

Lori and Jessica also share with us the answer to their most common question: “How did you maintain a close mother-daughter relationship throughout the teenage years?”

We discuss our role in showing up authentically, as well as truth-telling, gossiping and age appropriate discussions.
