The Mother-Daughter Imprint

Today on The Glass Child, we're zooming out.
Whether you were the helper, the peacemaker, or the kid who stayed small so others could shine—your relationship with your mother shaped you before you had words for it. And those patterns don't disappear.
Join us as we explore the mother-daughter life cycle with Khara Croswaite Brindle, MA, LPC, ACS, CFT™. Khara has her own counseling practice, is a TEDx speaker, and an Amazon #1 best-selling author, including, Understanding Ruptured Mother-Daughter Relationships.
Khara discusses: how to help young girls develop a sense of their own agency; three things adult daughters have told her they need to begin repairing the relationship: whether moms owe their daughters an apology; and tools and checklists she's developed for Mothers and Daughters and Clinicians seeking help for their relationship and clients.
