  • Highly Recommended

    I love Ana’s podcast. She has inspiring women she interviews and I always learn some pearls of wisdom, which I highly appreciate considering I lost my mother at a young age. It’s comforting to know there are other women out there in similar situations and it’s lovely to hear some of the lessons I learned from my mom coincide with others. I can highly recommend this podcast whether or not you have or had a positive relationship with your own mother. Must listen!

  • Wonderful

    I love that Ana speaks with women around the world. It is fascinating to hear about different cultural approaches to mothering but especially powerful to hear how daughters of my generation have come to terms with how they were mothered. Totally delightful to hear how these daughters now mother. It is a very loving and beautiful podcast. Honest, hope filled and nourishing! Thank you, Ana for weaving this community that includes me and so many others as a listeners!

Q: Tell me first, how did you start researching this topic? How did daughtering become your topic? And thus, how did the book happen?
