    Fierce Love, Shame, and The Mother-Daughter Relationship with Author and Life Coach Karen Anderson

    In this Episode I chat with Karen C.L. Anderson. Karen is an expert on shame and difficult mother-daughter relationships. She writes for and works with adult daughters who want to both quiet the Inner Critical Mother they have in their heads, AND take care of themselves in the relationship they have with their actual mothers. She also works with mothers who want to improve the relationship they have with their adult daughters. She is the host of the Dear Adult Daughter podcast and author of several books including You Are Not Your Mother: Releasing Generational Trauma & Shame (June 2023); Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide For Separation, Liberation & Inspiration; and The Difficult Mother-Daughter Relationship Journal. She holds an Advanced Certification in Feminist Coaching, a Master Life Coach Certification, is a Dare To Lead Trained Professional, a Healthy Boundaries for Kind People coach and facilitator, and is an Emotional Freedom Techniques practitioner (EFT Training For Trauma, Levels I + II).
