Summary
In this episode, Pamela talks with Dr. Allison Alford about her book Good Daughtering and the emotional tension many empty nest moms feel in midlife. As we care for aging parents and learn new ways to relate to our adult children, guilt and pressure can quietly take over. This gentle conversation explores how to redefine what it means to be a “good daughter,” set healthy boundaries, and walk through this season with grace instead of obligation.
