Thank you for joining us for episode 468 of Live Happy Now.

Mother's Day might be behind us, but for many moms and daughters, that holiday can be

less about celebrating and more about surviving one another.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and this week I'm joined by co-authors and mother-daughter duo

Leslie and Lindsay Glass who have just released the book The Mother Daughter Relationship

Makeover.

They know all too well how fraught this relationship can be and they're here to talk about

what makes this relationship so difficult for some and how you can

rebuild that relationship, find a positive pathway to peace, and finally restore the love between you.

Let's have a listen.

Leslie and Lindsay, thank you so much for joining me on Live Happy Now.

Oh, we're delighted to be here.

Yeah.

Good to meet you. I want to start with the big question, and that is the one most of us have, and that is like, why is the mother-daughter relationship

so challenging? I'm going to start because I let the daughter start. I think there are a lot of

reasons, and I will certainly let Leslie jump in.

One of the things that I think is the biggest factor is that often moms feel that daughters

are reflective of them. So if daughter isn't dressing right, if she isn't acting right, if she's doing things that are

embarrassing, that is a reflection that maybe mom didn't raise her right. I also think in a

situation like ours, I look just like her. So, you know, my mom was perfectly dressed at all

times and quaffed and that was not my style.

She likes to call me a street rat, which is very kind.
