    The Mother and Daughter Relationship

    The mother-daughter relationship is one of the most powerful connections we experience. It can be a source of deep love, strength, and understanding, but for many, it can also be a place of tension, expectation, and unresolved emotions.  In this episode, we’re diving into what makes this bond so unique, the life scripts that shape our roles, how cultural influences affect our expectations, and the hidden patterns that can create conflict, like the Drama Triangle.  Whether you have an incredible relationship with your mother or daughter, or you’re navigating challenges in this dynamic, this episode is for you.  Let’s explore how we can heal, grow, and rewrite the story of mother-daughter relationships for the better.” We would love to hear from you - let us know your thoughts and tell us what you'd like to hear about in future episodes. follow us on www.instagram@abitofmeandyou_podcast
