How do you know when you can repair a relationship versus when it’s time to walk away? My guest on this episode of About Your Mother, Kate King, shares the difference between a difficult relationship and a toxic one, and how to know what you should do next.

Kate is a licensed professional counselor and board-certified art therapist. Her latest book, Mend or Move On, dives into the details of dealing with difficult relationships of all types.

Listen in as she shares her own experience as a “wounded healer,” the seven relationship traps, and why it’s important to maintain relationship tiers.

How do you make peace with what your family has given you, both the good and the bad? My guest today is Bridget Crocker, a trailblazer in the outdoor industry and author of The River’s Daughter.

In her incredible memoir, she writes about breaking the cycle of abuse in her family and relying on nature as a guide. Our conversation will inspire you to face your past and look to nature to help you find answers for the future.

This episode is extra special because it was recorded live in front of an audience in partnership with an organization I love, Jackson Hole Writers.

Life changing conversations can happen at any time in our lives—but what if you are 14 and your mother reveals a secret that upends your adolescence and sends you on a decades long journey to untangle from the world she brought you in, the world you were happy to be a part of? Adrienne Brodeur's best selling book, Wild Game, examines the price she paid to be her mother's confidant and helper in an epic affair with her husband's closest friend. The story doesn't end there.
