In this pilot episode of Mothers & Daughters Unfiltered, host Natalie Simmons interviews her mother and co-host, Diane Danvers Simmons. Diane shares her story, her motivations behind starting the podcast, and her advice for a successful mother-daughter relationship. When Diane was 16, Diane’s mother left her family and moved into the house next door. This devastating life event began Diane’s journey of self-discovery and her resolution to be a better mother to her own daughter. As Natalie grew up, Diane intentionally set aside time for them to spend together. These outings started as teas and lunches, and then eventually turned into longer trips all over the world. In this episode, Diane and Natalie reminisce about their memorable trip to Morocco. They took the trip during a difficult season in both of their lives, and, in Morocco, they strengthened their bond through exploration, meditation, yoga, and reconnected with one another. The mother-daughter relationship, Diane admonishes, can be either life’s best relationship, or its worst. Mothers & Daughters Unfiltered aims to help mothers and daughters navigate their relationships, and to encourage intergenerational dialogue.
