My name is Karen C.L. Anderson and I am an adult daughter, with the emphasis on adult. I am also the author of Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide For Separation, Liberation & Inspiration and The Difficult Mother-Daughter Relationship Journal: A Guide For Revealing & Healing Toxic Generational Patterns.
In this podcast I answer questions from readers, tell stories, give advice, and share the tools and processes I’ve used to heal my relationship with my mother.
What started out as one of the most painful aspects of my life, something I saw as permanent and forever limiting, has turned into the greatest catalyst for my growth, wisdom, creativity, and joy.
I did that. I do it every day. And so can you.

On the surface, you think it’s about your mother.
Underneath, where it counts, it’s about you and your self-respect, self-trust, self-agency, and self-expression.
Your grown-ass-womanhood.
Your power, your choice, your creativity.
When you own that (and owning it is a life-long process . . . not a one-and-done-flip-of-a-switch), you will realize that no matter what the status of relationship with her, your relationship with yourself will change in ways you can’t even imagine.
Don't forget to send me your questions. I will answer them in an upcoming episode, anonymously, of course.
