About this listen
Transform your relationship with your mother.
The best news on the planet is that your mother doesn't have to change in order for you to be happy. In fact, author Karen C.L. Anderson will take it a step further and say your mother doesn't have to change in order for you to be free, peaceful, contented, and joyful.
You can emotionally separate without guilt: Inspired by her own journey, Anderson's Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide for Separation, Liberation & Inspiration shows women how to emotionally separate from their mothers without guilt and anxiety so they can finally create a life based on their own values, desires, needs, and preferences. Not to mention being able to like and respect themselves during the process.
Learn through the experiences of others: Through personal stories and experiences, practical tools that can used right away to feel better, and journal prompts, Anderson compassionately leads women who struggle in their relationships with their mothers through a process of self-awareness and understanding. Anderson's work with hundreds of women and her own personal work have resulted in profound growth and transformation. Anderson knows the results are nothing short of miraculous.
Funny and compassionate: This audiobook is about Anderson discovering and accepting the whole of who she is (separate from her mother), and making her discoveries accessible to women struggling to redefine their challenging relationships with their mothers. Her writing is relatable, real, funny, and compassionate.
What you'll learn inside this audiobook:
- Why mothers and daughters tend to have difficult relationships

If you are seeking to heal yourself from a difficult mother/daughter (adult) relationship, this is a book that is well worth listening to. There are numerous very practical suggestions to try, and the journal prompts are also very helpful. The author's desire to encourage you to heal from a toxic mother/daughter relationship is very apparent, yet also respectful to whatever choices you feel you have or come to make with how you navigate your own personal experience. I very much appreciated that about this book's message. Although many relationships can be repaired and healed, not all can or will, and the author acknowledges this. She reminds you though that you can heal from the pain it has caused you whether the relationship is repaired or not.
Having taken many years to heal my own relationship with my mother, I am aware of how challenging it can be to face our own demons in this respect, and believe that the advice and suggestions this book offered are very helpful - if you are ready to embark on the personal journey that this type of healing takes you on. If you're not ready, you will likely dismiss it and avoid finishing it because listening to it will probably annoy you.
Be warned though, this book is quite likely to stir up any emotional muck you have silently sitting within you. Perhaps it is best listened to in smaller doses rather than a single sitting.
