Do you want to share your wisdom of experience with your girl, but it sometimes feels like your words are falling on deaf ears?
Or do you sometimes feel like the words you use with your daughter are lost in translation? That there is a kind of generation gap of language and world view?
One of the reasons why Eliza and I created our workshops over a decade ago was so that she, and her older teen assistants, could be a kind of bridge for that generation gap.
Eliza appreciates your wisdom of experience.
Girls at the workshops notice this and they gravitate back towards their mothers for guidance. When mamas leave our workshop, they are inspired to create more intergenerational support for their daughters and ask us how they can make this happen.
I decided to ask our resident daughter whisperer and mentor to preteen and teen girls, Eliza, how to find mentors for your daughter who you love.
I am so happy to share this interview with you!

Are you wanting mentors for your daughter who you love? What has this conversation brought up for you?
Love,

P.S. Forward this video to a mama who’s wanting help with keeping her bond strong with her preteen or teen daughter. Because sharing is caring and everyone needs the sisterhood!
Since my daughter is already deeply involved in mentoring with Eliza, I’m writing to share my profound gratitude for what this relationship and the Mothering and Daughtering community has brought to our family. My daughter is centered and confident, even when and especially when she struggles with the stress of being a high school senior in the world we live in.
This was so helpful and grounding. Thank you Eliza. You are such a visionary. I have noticed that Grace’s B mitzvah tutor has become a great mentor and 20 year old to have in her life. I really love that she gets exposed to this. She also seems to feel close and mentored to my mother who is almost 80. Magically I do not feel that way about my mom, but Grace can.
