The Mother Daughter Journey

What would it feel like…

To have a deep connection with your preteen or teenage daughter in a way that felt authentic to you?

To create a home where your daughter felt safe to be exactly who she is?

If your daughter knew and valued her self-worth because you trusted yourself as her mom?

We live in a culture where moms of daughters (and those who identify as daughters) are expected to just grit our teeth and do whatever it takes to get through these “tricky” pre-teen and teenage years. To throw our hands up and accept the distance our daughters are demonstrating, and just hope that someday our sweet little girls will find their way back to us. 

But what if it doesn’t have to be like that? What if you can find a more authentic, active role in your daughter’s life that actually serves both of you better? Because in reality, she needs you there with her during this confusing time in her life. She needs you to stay connected, despite what her body language may be suggesting. She needs you to continue to be her rock as you both navigate these uncharted waters. 

And it is up to you as the mom to hold firm to this truth for both of you. The MDJ will teach you strategies on how to do just that. You’ll gain perspective on how to relate to your daughter, how to get her to open up to you, and how to embrace her as she’s growing and evolving in an uncertain, sometimes unfriendly world.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS / MAY 2024

Mom Magic

For Moms Only, In Person

    Block your calendar because it’s time to emotionally and intellectually prepare for High School. Let’s learn, connect, laugh, grieve, thrive, increase confidence and most of all support each other as we prepare for this particular phase of adolescence. High school is no feakin’ joke. What would it be like if we honored the intensity of our teenage daughters and leaned into these relationships with feeling self-assured and poised? Community support and collective wisdom are essential parts when parenting teens. Let’s thrive together.

    This is 2.5 hour intensive workshop will focus on:

    • Separation & Individuation (both scientific and spiritually)

    • The lost art of listening

    • Drugs, alcohol and vaping - oh my!

    • Relationships, navigation, strategies and healthy boundaries
