Mothers and Daughters
With a special gift for recognizing patterns, I have noticed a synergy between middle aged women and teenagers. After all, “Menopause is just puberty in reverse”. The mother~daughter connection is the most powerful relationship in the life of a girl. For some mother-daughter pairs, it’s not too rocky. For others, this can be a turbulent season where expectations and limits are constantly being examined and stretched. (And I am not just talking the teen/mom experience here…)
In a new breakthrough class, I am inviting mothers and daughters of all ages to open their hearts!
- Learn common life lessons
- Embrace the beauty of generational connection
- Revisit the three selves: self esteem, self love and self referencing

Teen Rapids
Around puberty or a little later, girls start feeling a push of some kind. A push to make a difference, to “come-into-their-own.” I think this push is a calling from your innermost self. A call for CONNECTION. What if a teen gathered the skills and tools to make proactive choices, rather than simply reacting to life. What kind of impact could she have if she learned how to design her life, rather than merely reacting to it? What about the influence she could have on her own children, and spouse, because she learned as a teenager how to listen and acted upon her soul whispers?
Awakening
Does your teen dis you? Disrespect, ignore or shut you down every time you try to talk? Is your teen over the top? Over emotional, over reactive, and over sensitive? Join our 10 week course that can help unite expectations, build trust and love for the journey ahead.
Many of us women struggle with the same issues that overwhelmed us as teens; fitting in, conforming to societal standard as women, as parents, as members of the community.
What about the women who are not struggling because they have forgotten that they are worth defending? They have forgotten to ask themselves the question, “Who am I?”, or better yet “Who do I want to be?” They think that wherever they are, that is where they are stuck. Women often know how everyone in their family thinks and feels but if you asked them how they felt, they would draw a blank.
Connecting Generations
I think raising teen girls starts with mothers healing parts of themselves that have been left behind. I have said this before, but it bears repeating. “The greatest gift we can give to our children is to do our own work first. Sometimes it is a journey which coincides with our daughter’s, (and we wonder why we all can’t get along.) Their journey seems to bring us back into the space that we would rather not remember. I think that they remind us of what we have lost. Then we don’t want them to lose it. Then we want our’s back. But oh wait, how do we do that?? Are you twirling in circles yet?
New Beginnings
Healing starts with connecting to ourselves, then extends out into our connection with others. I am not talking about superficial connections here. I am talking about connections of the heart. Connections where we are not afraid of looking in the mirror, or showing our true selves to others. Where our opinion of ourselves matters more than anyone else’s opinion of us, and if we are not happy with something, we take the steps to change it.
