Summary

My guest this week is Bill, whose mother isn’t happy with his choice of a wife. He sees his mother as petty and controlling, and he really wants her to trust him with his choice. Hmmmm. Such a tall order. So I welcome you to The Work and invite you to join Bill and me as we identify the cause of Bill’s suffering and how to end it. I'm so glad you've dropped into my parlor. And now let’s do a bit of mother-Work. xoxo bk
