Summary

Penny is my guest this week. Her mother screamed at her, then gave her the silent treatment. Penny is hurt and disappointed, and she wants her mother to apologize for her abuse. How likely do you think this is? Can Penny find peace with or without the apology? Can she feel loved and whole no matter how her mother treats her? Tune in to see how this seemingly unsolvable problem gets solved. (This one starts slow and then moves deep, so hang in with us.) Let's do The Work! xoxo bk
