(And What to Do With That Knowledge)

and thousands of conversations with motherless daughters from around the world.
Below, you’ll find two 15-minute videos that will walk you through five of the most common ways this loss
can shape a daughter's life
The guide also comes with a workbook of reflective exercises and gentle prompts to help you

Grab yourself a warm or cold beverage, carve out some time just for you, and let this be a way to connect
with both your mother and the girl you were back then

Now that you have a clearer picture of how your loss has shaped you, the patterns, the grief that resurfaces, the way it quietly shows up in your relationships and your sense of self, I want to share something I've seen again and again in
my 30+ years of working with motherless daughters.
Understanding it is one thing.
Processing it with other daughters who are living the same story is another.
That's what Motherless Daughters Circles are for.
Three times a month, daughters from around the world gather on Zoom in a live, trauma-informed space where you can show up exactly as you are. No one here needs things explained. No one here is waiting for you to be "further along."
The pace is entirely yours to set.
We offer two circles: one for daughters who lost their mothers in early life, and one for those who’ve lost their moms just in the past two years. Both are based on the same belief:
Grief witnessed by daughters who share your history lands differently than it’s been able to land before.
For a limited time, new members can join at 33% off their first month.
