What makes some people supercommunicators? How can you become one too? This is the central lesson in Charles Duhigg’s bestseller Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret of Communication. Charles and Chris dissect what makes messy conversations so great, how to ask deep questions, and whether women and men communicate differently. They also discuss the different rules for different technologies — from telephones to Facebook to Signal — and how cautious politeness may be the best method to communicate effectively online.

Accepting the Mother You Got: The Hardest Part of Healing In this episode, I walk you through one of the most difficult yet essential steps in healing a mother wound, accepting the mother you actually received instead of continuing to long for the mother you wanted. We all carry an image of what a mother should be, how she should show up, and the ways she should love us. When our actual mothers fall short of these expectations, the gap between what we wanted and what we got creates a wound that follows us into adulthood. I guide you through a journaling exercise that helps you process this disappointment: writing out your expectations of motherhood, documenting the reality of the mother you received, and speaking to your inner child who still desperately wants what she didn't get. This episode explores why children struggle to see their parents as flawed and instead blame themselves, how that little girl inside you is still healing alongside adult you, and why acceptance doesn't mean making excuses for her behavior, it means seeing her clearly so you can finally move forward with your own life. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand why accepting the mother you received is the foundation of healing, not making excuses for her behavior Complete a three-part journaling exercise to process the gap between your expectations and reality Recognize that your inner child is still seeking the mother she wanted and needs your compassion to heal Learn why children blame themselves instead of seeing their parents as flawed and how this pattern continues into adulthood See your mother as a whole person with limitations rather than keeping her on a pedestal you have to constantly defend or attack Discover how acceptance makes boundary-setting easier and frees you to live your life without waiting for her to change Don't forget you can submit your questions for me to answer in future episodes!

Cultural Context Matters: Setting Boundaries Without Losing Your Community In this episode, I respond to a social media post about how North American therapists often push boundary-setting without understanding the cultural consequences for children of immigrants and those from collectivist cultures. While setting boundaries is crucial for healthy relationships, the Western approach of individualism doesn't always translate to cultures where family connection and community are central to survival and identity. I break down the critical difference between setting boundaries and estrangement, offering practical examples of how you can protect your mental health and get your needs met without completely cutting off your family or losing your entire support system. From getting a hotel during the holidays to setting time limits on phone calls, I share flexible boundary strategies that honor both your wellbeing and your cultural values. This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating the tension between therapeutic advice and cultural expectations, and for therapists who want to provide more culturally competent care. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand the difference between individualistic and collectivist cultures and how this impacts boundary-setting approaches Recognize that boundaries exist on a spectrum, from small limits to estrangement, and you don't have to jump to the extreme Learn practical boundary examples that keep you safe while maintaining family connections (hotel stays during visits, time limits on calls, etc.) Reframe boundaries as "what needs to be in place for me to say yes" rather than walls that keep people out Discover the importance of working with culturally competent therapists who understand your specific cultural context See how you can create healthier patterns for the next generation even if you can't change your current family dynamics Don't forget you can submit your questions about mother-daughter relationships for me to answer in upcoming episodes!

Breaking Generational Patterns Through Storytelling - An Interview with Author K. J. Ritchie In this episode, I sit down with first-time author K. J. Richie to discuss her compelling novel "The Lies That Bind: Mothers and Daughters." Katja shares her journey of writing a book that follows three generations of women—Joyce, Vivian, and Rosemary—as they navigate the complex dynamics of mother wounds, control, and the desperate desire to break free from generational patterns. What started as a cathartic exercise turned into a beautifully written story that gives compassion and context to harmful maternal behaviors while showing the possibility of healing. Katja opens up about her own experience as a cycle breaker, why she chose not to become a traditional mother, and how writing this book helped her find peace with her own mother wound. This conversation explores why understanding the "why" behind behaviors doesn't excuse them but can lead to profound healing, and how female friendships become the lifeline for daughters breaking free from toxic family patterns. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand how generational patterns are passed down through mother-daughter relationships and why each generation may break some cycles but not all Recognize that motherhood doesn't happen in a vacuum—fathers and other family members play silent but significant roles in perpetuating or stopping dysfunction See how writing or creative expression can be a powerful tool for healing mother wounds and developing empathy for the women who came before you Learn why healing relational wounds cannot be done alone—it requires vulnerable connections with supportive friends and partners Discover the freedom in accepting the relationship you have with your mother rather than continuing to fight for what it should be Recognize that estrangement, while painful, can bring peace and that it's possible to have compassion for your mother without maintaining contact Don't forget you can submit your questions about mother-daughter relationships for me to answer in upcoming episodes!

When Your Siblings Act Like You're Making Up Your Mother Wound Are you trying to heal from your mother wound while your siblings defend your mom and act like you're being dramatic? In this episode, I explore why siblings can grow up in the same house with the same mother yet have completely different experiences and relationships with her. From birth order and gender dynamics to family roles like scapegoat versus golden child, I break down six reasons siblings often have opposing perspectives on their mother. I spend extra time on the unique burden eldest daughters carry - being parentified, absorbing family dysfunction, and protecting younger siblings who now don't understand why you're "making such a big deal" about mom. You'll learn practical strategies for maintaining sibling relationships while protecting yourself from invalidation, plus guidance for siblings who want to support their sister's healing journey even if they don't share her experience. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand why siblings can have drastically different relationships with the same mother Recognize the unique burden eldest daughters carry as "guinea pigs" and family caretakers Stop seeking validation from siblings who aren't ready or able to provide it Set boundaries around discussing your mother with invalidating siblings Accept that both experiences can be true simultaneously without canceling each other out Build sibling relationships on shared interests rather than painful childhood processing Grieve the supportive sibling relationship you wanted but may never have Don't forget that your sibling's denial or different experience doesn't make your pain less real, you don't need their validation for your healing to be legitimate!

When Your Mom Needs You to Emotionally Take Care of Her Are you constantly managing your mother's emotions, walking on eggshells to keep her stable, or feeling guilty for having your own life? In this episode, I examine the critical difference between healthy mutual support and unhealthy emotional dependence in mother-daughter relationships. From emotional parentification to inappropriate oversharing, I break down seven specific ways mothers inappropriately pull emotional support from their daughters - and how these patterns affect you well into adulthood. You'll learn to recognize signs like being called multiple times daily, feeling responsible for her happiness, or struggling with boundaries in all your relationships because you were trained that others' emotions are your responsibility. I provide concrete examples and practical strategies for setting boundaries without guilt, plus guidance for mothers who recognize these patterns in themselves. With this episode you'll be able to: Distinguish between healthy reciprocal support and unhealthy emotional dependence Recognize seven specific patterns of inappropriate emotional reliance from mothers Understand why you might struggle with boundaries in all relationships after being parentified Set starter boundaries like "I can talk for 20 minutes, then I need to go" Redirect your mom to appropriate support without feeling guilty Work through the belief that your worth comes from caretaking others Break generational cycles of emotional parentification Don't forget that setting boundaries doesn't make you a bad daughter - it makes you a healthier daughter trying to build a relationship that works for both of you!

When Your Mom Says All the Right Things But Does the Opposite Does your mom say "I want us to be close" but then criticizes every decision you make? Or agree to therapy but cancel at the last minute? In this episode, I explore the frustrating pattern of mothers who say all the right things about wanting to repair relationships, but whose actions tell a completely different story. From understanding why this disconnect happens (fear of vulnerability, lack of self-awareness, defensiveness) to recognizing specific red flags, I help you navigate the exhausting hope-and-disappointment cycle. You'll learn practical strategies for focusing on actions over words, setting measurable expectations, and protecting yourself emotionally while deciding how much energy to invest in someone whose intentions don't match their follow-through. I also answer a listener's question about a mother who keeps promising therapy but never commits to scheduling it. With this episode you'll be able to: Recognize the difference between good intentions and actual behavioral change Identify specific red flags when words don't match actions in mother relationships Break free from the exhausting hope-and-disappointment cycle Set specific, measurable expectations instead of accepting vague promises Create appropriate consequences for broken commitments without being punitive Protect yourself emotionally while still remaining open to genuine change Know when to keep trying versus when to take a step back for your own wellbeing Don't forget that your worth is never tied to her behaviors, and you can heal and build fulfilling relationships even if your mom never becomes the person her words suggest she wants to be.

Therapy vs. Coaching - Which One Do You and Your Mom Need? In this Q&A episode, I tackle a listener's question about when to choose family therapy versus coaching for mother-daughter relationships. Many people feel confused about the difference between these approaches, and knowing which path to take can save you time, money, and frustration. I break down the fundamental difference: therapy looks backward to process trauma and understand triggers, while coaching looks forward to build new skills and create better relationships. I explain why family therapy requires both mother and daughter to be emotionally available for deep vulnerability, and how my Reconnection Rescue program takes a different approach by acknowledging hurt without camping out in it. You'll learn four key questions to help you decide which path is right for your situation, plus why finding someone you genuinely connect with matters more than their credentials alone. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand the core difference between therapy (backward-looking) and coaching (forward-looking) Assess whether your mother is emotionally available for deep therapeutic work Recognize when significant trauma requires individual therapy first Learn why relationship healing happens best inside relationships with trusted professionals Evaluate your ultimate goal: processing past hurt versus building future connection Understand why some mothers shut down in therapy but thrive in coaching environments Navigate the decision between individual healing and joint relationship work Don't forget that you can schedule a free consultation call through my website if you want to explore whether therapy or coaching might be right for your specific situation.

Navigating the Teenage Years - When Your Daughter Pushes You Away Is your teenage daughter pushing you away, and you're wondering where that close connection went? In this episode for moms of teenage daughters, I explore one of the most challenging seasons of the mother-daughter relationship. From understanding what's really happening beneath all that eye-rolling and door slamming to practical strategies for staying connected during this crucial developmental stage, this episode offers hope and guidance for maintaining your bond while respecting her growing need for independence. I share why her brain isn't fully developed until her mid-twenties, how social media and school pressures impact her behavior, and most importantly, that she still wants connection even when she doesn't act like it. You'll learn my "potted plant" and "rubber band" techniques for staying present without overwhelming her, plus nine actionable strategies for rebuilding connection during these turbulent years. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand what's developmentally happening in your teenager's brain and world Recognize that pushing away is often a test of unconditional love, not rejection Practice the "potted plant" technique to stay informed about her life without interrupting Use the "rubber band" method to remain steady while she stretches for independence Learn why being a listener first and responder second builds stronger communication Implement realistic expectations that meet her where she is, not where you wish she were Create low-pressure connection opportunities that feel natural to teenagers Don't forget to check out Episode 6 for more about the six stages of mother-daughter relationships, and remember - this phase is temporary but the trust you build now lasts forever!

Live Coaching Session - Setting Boundaries with an Emotionally Unavailable Mother In this special episode, you get to witness a real coaching session as I work with Shannon, a podcast listener who reached out for help with boundary setting. Shannon shares her journey from parenting her emotionally unavailable mother to slowly creating distance and protection for herself and her child. Through our session, you'll hear Shannon work through her triggers around her mother's lack of parenting (both in Shannon's childhood and now with her niece and nephew), her struggle with surface-level conversations feeling "fake," and her need to protect her sacred spaces from her mother's intrusion. We explore the difference between rigid boundaries and fluid ones, why letters often don't work in mother-daughter relationships, and how to reframe boundary-setting from "what do I need to say no to" to "what needs to be in place for me to say yes." Listen to Shannon's transformation as she realizes she's not being mean, she's protecting her safety. Connect with Brittney: Instagram: @theBrittneyScott Website: www.brittneymscott.com Consultation to work with Brittney With this episode you'll be able to: Understand how to identify what you need versus trying to control others' behavior Learn the difference between "fake" conversations and protective surface-level interactions Practice creating boundaries that meet your safety needs rather than rigid rules Recognize that protecting your home and sacred spaces is a valid boundary See how triggers from childhood show up in adult relationships with mothers Learn why "I need 48 hours to respond" can be a legitimate communication boundary Understand that boundaries can be fluid and change as your needs evolve Don't forget to download the free Boundaries Guide mentioned at the beginning of the episode, and fill out the question form if you'd like your own situation addressed in a future episode!

Unpopular Opinions About Mother Wounds and Healing Let's get a little spicy? In this candid end-of-month episode, I share my most controversial opinions about the mother-daughter healing space. From pushing back on the idea that you don't need to know your mother's story to heal, to challenging the overuse of "narcissistic mom" when people really mean "abusive mom," I'm not holding back. I tackle why the phrase "you only get one mom" infuriates me (spoiler: it puts all the burden on daughters to accept harmful behavior), explain why most people who claim to have narcissistic mothers probably don't, and break down why "forgiveness is for you, not them" often feels dismissive to people who aren't ready. This episode might ruffle some feathers, but these are conversations we need to have about the difference between healing approaches that actually work versus popular phrases that sound good but don't serve people on their healing journey. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand why knowing your mother's full story is essential for breaking generational cycles Recognize the difference between abusive behavior and actual narcissistic personality disorder Challenge the harmful "you only get one mom" narrative that excuses maternal dysfunction See why separating your mother from her mothering role helps you understand patterns Question whether popular healing phrases are actually helpful or dismissive Learn why your brain needs specific information about patterns to change them Understand that healing and forgiveness are separate processes Don't forget that these are just my opinions based on years of working with mothers and daughters - you get to decide what resonates with your own healing journey!

What Does "Doing the Work" Actually Mean? You've heard the phrase everywhere: "You have to do the work." But what does that actually mean? In this episode, I break down what "doing the work" looks like specifically when working with me as your therapist and coach. From understanding the underlying memories and triggers causing painful patterns today to healing mother wounds and breaking generational cycles, I walk you through exactly what healing entails. I explain my two main ways of working: individual one-on-one sessions for personal healing and my Reconnection Rescue program for mother-daughter pairs working together. You'll learn why the first half of relationship healing is often the most difficult (because we're talking about breakdown before we can rebuild), how I help clients move from reactive parenting to intentional choices, and why saying "I'll just do the opposite of my mom" isn't enough for your brain to actually change patterns. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand what "doing the work" means in terms of healing and personal growth Learn about the Reconnection Rescue program structure and why the first 6 sessions are hardest Discover how individual coaching addresses mother wounds, parenting triggers, and trauma Understand why "doing the opposite" of your mother isn't an effective healing strategy Learn how to make intentional parenting choices rather than reactive ones See why healing work requires specificity and can't rely on vague intentions Recognize that different therapists and coaches will approach "the work" differently Don't forget to download the free Boundaries Guide or join the 7-day Heal Your Inner Child email challenge mentioned at the end - both are completely free ways to start doing the work on your own!

Physical Signs of Mother Wound Trauma and How to Heal It - How trauma lives in your body Your body remembers everything: every dismissal, every criticism, every moment when you needed comfort but didn't receive it. In this episode, I explore how childhood trauma and mother wounds manifest physically in your adult body. From chronic headaches and digestive issues to autoimmune conditions and sleep disturbances, I explain how your nervous system learned to stay on high alert and why that tightness in your chest or knot in your stomach isn't "all in your head." You'll discover how chronic stress in childhood rewires your body around trauma, making it incredibly efficient at spotting danger but forgetting how to relax. Most importantly, I share practical tools for helping your nervous system learn it's safe now, including breathing techniques that target your diaphragm, grounding methods beyond the standard 5-4-3-2-1, and ways to create environments that signal safety to your body. With this episode you'll be able to: Recognize how childhood trauma shows up physically in your adult body Understand why your nervous system stays stuck in high alert mode Identify your body's early warning signals before your brain catches up Practice deep diaphragm breathing instead of shallow chest breathing Use natural self-soothing mechanisms like drinking from straws or gentle pressure points Create calming environments that help your nervous system feel safe Develop a new relationship with your body based on trust and collaboration instead of criticism Connect with Brittney: Instagram: @theBrittneyScott Website: www.brittneymscott.com Consultation to work with Brittney Free Resources!

How to Mother When You Weren't Mothered: Breaking Cycles with Intention How do you give what you never received? In this episode for mothers healing their own childhood wounds while raising children, I explore the challenging journey of conscious parenting when your own template for mothering was broken. From addressing the fear "What if I become like her?" to learning how to create secure attachment when you didn't experience it yourself, this episode offers hope and practical guidance for breaking generational patterns. I share how your hypervigilance about parenting is actually proof you're already different, why perfectionism isn't the goal, and how triggers are opportunities for modeling emotional regulation. Most importantly, I reveal how the act of giving your children what you needed heals your inner child too, creating a ripple effect that changes your entire family line forever. With this episode you'll be able to: Understand that your fear of repeating patterns is proof you're already breaking them Learn to create secure attachment even if you didn't experience it as a child Recognize and manage parenting triggers when they arise from your own wounds Practice emotional regulation techniques to model healthy responses for your children Distinguish between living vicariously through your children and healing while parenting Build a support village of people who understand generational pattern breaking Accept that great mothers acknowledge mistakes, repair, and do better next time Don't forget to check out the free Heal Your Inner Child Challenge mentioned in the episode - it's a 7-day email series designed to help you heal while becoming the mother you want to be!

Heart to Heart - Creating Safe Spaces for Mother-Daughter Vulnerability In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with mother-daughter duo Tes and Holly, who turned their own relationship challenges into a beautiful mission: creating Heart to Heart gatherings for other mother-daughter pairs. From Holly's well-meaning but painful "toxic positivity" during Tes's egg freezing journey to learning how to sit with sadness instead of immediately cheering each other up, these two share how vulnerability became their unlock to deeper connection. They reveal how the pressure to be "practically perfect in every way" (their Mary Poppins reference) prevented space for the full spectrum of emotions. Through their Heart to Heart workshops, they help other mothers and daughters navigate common themes like boundaries and the fear of being a burden, while teaching participants to "listen generously and share courageously." This conversation beautifully illustrates how relationships can evolve from cheerleader mode to authentic presence.
