Karen C.L. Anderson was the chosen family member to be the legal guardian for her grandmother. This decision surprised Karen because her mother and mom’s siblings were also options. Karen shares her caregiving story and how it has informed her life’s work. She is a master-certified life coach and author helping adult daughters with difficult mothers take care of themselves in that relationship.
In this episode, we go deep into setting healthy boundaries and creating an intentional identity. We discuss when estrangement may be the right option, how to break unhealthy cycles to heal our trauma, and the benefits of kale and Words with Friends.
