Mothers and Daughters: The (Im) Perfect Relationship

Our society encourages mothers and their adult daughters to be ‘best friends’ but is that really the ideal for this special, intimate and intense relationship? This interactive workshop will explore the psychological, cultural, and biological factors that impact the adult mother-daughter relationship as well as the unique issues that can make it complex. Find out the universal answers to what we want our mothers and daughters to start, stop and continue doing to enhance the relationship! All women are daughters and invited to participate solo or with your mother or daughter.

The ‘Good Enough’ Mother: Saying NO So You Can Say YES

Mothers would do ‘anything’ for their children, but should they do everything? There is no such thing as the perfect mother; and even the mother who gives her children everything may leave them lacking the opportunity to grow. Kids learn to navigate the world when all their needs are not met. The challenge is to redefine good enough mothering for the reality of our present day lives, because too many mothers are still trying to be perfect and not leaving enough opportunity to build their own resilience.
