We all know the stereotypes: the controlling mother-in-law, the aloof daughter-in-law. Why is this relationship often painted as inherently difficult, fraught with tension and unmet expectations? And what if it didn't have to be that way?

On this episode of Building Resilience, I'm joined by LeAnn Austin, a master-certified life coach who specializes in helping women create more connection and fun, particularly with their daughters-in-law. Together, we explore the often complex dynamics of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. Leann shares insights on expectations, communication styles, and the importance of connection. As Leann says, "You either love someone, or you don't understand them."
