No one needs to tell the mother of a daughter that their relationship comes with its fair share of unique challenges, but why is this? Join me as I talk to Dr. Michelle Deering, author of What Mothers Never Tell Their Daughters, about the complexities of a mother/daughter relationship and how we can best navigate the challenges while appreciating the unique bond that comes with raising a daughter. *New!* Watch video clips from this episode on the Mindful Mama Youtube channel!

As girls become teens, they begin to explore their own separate identity, outside of “Mom.” Mother/daughter relationships will evolve as they need you in different ways, at different times. Dr. Michelle Deering believes that every mother and daughter should have a thriving loving relationship. This refreshing approach has made her a sought-after speaker, online educator, and consultant. Before running her consulting business, Michelle served as a licensed psychologist and board-certified sport psychologist at a BIG 10 University, Fortune 500 corporate trainer, and higher education professional. Nowadays you’ll find her speaking at conferences, training for her next Spartan Race, and practicing rudiments on her drum kit — all while coaching, serving clients, and recording her hit podcast, Mother Daughter Connections™.
