Mother-Daughter Relationship Coach
Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun. ~ Don Miquel Ruiz Image: Jill Wellington, Pixabay Just imagine . . . Janice
People-Pleasing and the Mother-Daughter Relationship
People-pleasing is a common trait among many women which involves prioritising others’ needs and desires over one’s own. If you find yourself constantly striving to fit in, saying “yes” when you’d rather say “no,” or valuing others’ feelings over your own, you are a people-pleaser. People-pleasing behaviours often originate in childhood, influenced by various factors including family dynamics and society’s expectations of the role of women in families. #parentingtips #selfcare #motheranddaughter #familyrelationships #healthandwellnesstips #relationshipadvice #people-pleaser #counsellingtools
Top 10 Practical Strategies to Empower Yourself This Christmas and Reduce Stress
To all the women who are overfunctioners at Christmas, take back control from the overwhelming hold of your Christmas to-do list. This blog is for women, for mothers, for daughters and the expectations and the mental and emotional load that often falls on women.
Choose Yourself
"You won't always be a priority to others, and that's why you have to be a priority to yourself. Learn to respect yourself, take care of yourself, and become your own support system. Your needs matter. Start meeting them. Don't wait for others to choose you. Choose yourself." ~Jazz Zo Marcellus
Some things in life are difficult to avoid, such as illness, loss of job or other life challenges. But we can adapt to our circumstances and adjust our sails to take us on a journey least expected. The voyage may not be what you wanted, navigating the unexpected. There will be grief, loss of dreams, there will be fighting against this ‘force of nature’. You may feel swamped with a tornado of emotions. You may cry out, “why me?” Modifying the sails will assist for a smoother adjustment.

Loss of Identity When Women Become Mums
Women who have lost their identity once they become mums. Look at generational factors, and the Lost Woman who has no idea of her value and identity outside of her caring role for children, partners, parents - constantly gives out to others yet may only receive crumbs of love and attention in return.

Mother-Daughter Relationship Coach
Knowing your mother’s story, your grandmother’s story, the female line of your history, is walking inside your own story. Who was your mother before she became a mother? Who was your grandmother before she became a grandmother? What was she like as a woman? Embracing and owning your story is the bravest thing that you can do. Letting go of what others think of you and accepting your worth is to empower yourself.
Janice Williams Mother Daughter Counselling & Coaching - Relationship dramas with a partner or a child are not new. Often women feel free to discuss these difficulties and find warmth and understanding among women who ‘get it’. Discussing mother-daughter dramas is another level. Women who feel hurt or anger with their mother are reluctant to discuss these struggles, as it is not deemed appropriate by society. Many women wonder if they are the only one who is going through this difficult relationship with their mother and are ashamed of these feelings. It’s like a secret which no one talks about, yet many experience. There is an expectation that mothers and daughters are to be close and loving. Often the problems that arise between mothers and daughters are about unmet needs and emotional neglect, and unvoiced needs because women over the decades have not been allowed to voice their needs. They have been silenced. Women are supposed to be the care-givers, giving out to others. Can women not be care-receivers, to be cared for and nurtured? When I see adult daughters on their own, or with their mum, there is guilt and emotional heaviness about their relationship struggles and there is much to unpack. When I see women, we talk about these needs, and mapping their family tree helps to move past the blame and shame. Often there are generational patterns within the family. It takes awareness for one person to decide that they want things changed, for change to happen. #changethenarrative #motherdaughtercoaching #relationshiptips #ashamed #therapynorthryde #healingtrauma | Facebook
Difficult relationships with mothers and daughters, it’s like a secret which no one talks about, yet many women experience.
How Parents Influence Your Life
Parents influence a child's life significantly. We observed and interacted with our parents and learned their mannerisms, their behaviours, how they related to others, the unconscious stuff. Our kids now observe us – they hear what we say, see what we do. It can be a wake-up call to be an improved role-model to our children.
