Love Stories
Hilary Mae is the leading authority on emotional repair in the mother-daughter relationship and the creator of the Mother-Daughter Reconnection Method™.
Through this method, she helps women around the world transform distance into understanding, tension into trust, and silence into connection.
Her clients don’t just reconcile - they evolve into the kind of women who lead healing within their families, building a legacy of emotional safety and mutual respect that outlives them.
These are their love stories…real women who chose to go first, do the work and create the relationships they once thought were beyond repair.
Here are their stories…
Laura shares about her experience being one of Hilary’s private clients with her 18 year old daughter.
“You see Hilary’s posts and you think ‘oh that would be nice with my daughter’ but it really is so much more. It has that ripple effect and improves so many things. I don’t think you can put a price tag on that. If you’re seeing it and feeling it, don’t wait, just do it. Because things will get better rather than not doing it and things get worse. It’s never too late. You won’t even know if you do this now all the things you probably won’t end up going through because it’s preventative measures. A good relationship with your child is for life.”
You might be wondering…
“Can something that’s been painful for years really begin to heal in just three months?”
The women who have done this work asked themselves the same question.
What they discovered is that transformation doesn’t take years - it takes the right kind of understanding, safety and guidance.
Here’s what adult daughters have shared along their journey toward repair, peace and a relationship that finally feels safe again.
-
“Our first session went a lot better than any other conversation I’ve had about sensitive things with my Mom. I expected her to take things personally like she has in the past. But it was nice because my Mom was very receptive. It felt like we were working together, rather than feeling blamed or yelling, we have the same goals.”
-
“She seems more warm, considerate and calm, she told me the year has gotten off to a great start. I didn’t know it would mean that much to her to do this work. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in our relationship already. She always told me to go to therapy by myself but I didn’t know how that would help us together. Now I think we can both see how important it was for us to have these conversations together. I can’t imagine doing it another way.”
-
“We’re in a place where everything is good right now. We spent time together and it was comfortable, I wasn’t on eggshells and I don’t think she was either.”
-
“It’s kind of funny how far we’ve come from how sour it all felt at the beginning. Sometimes even if you are causing a little of mayhem and wonder if you’re doing the right thing, just do it anyway. I know this is way it was supposed to be because now we’re on the other side of it and it feels like we have built trust.”
-
“Everything is feeling good. As we near the end of our sessions my curiosity is what is left on my mom’s mind, if anything. Because we now have better tools to talk through what comes up and I’m wondering if there is anything on her mind outside of that.”
“It’s so nice to have a third party to help her listen to me. Because she’s never listened to me and having you has been incredible.”
-
“Takeaway here is that our communication is now without resentment and fear of resentment. Meaning I am happy to be careful with how I talk to you rather than being resentful that I have to phrase things in a certain way. I know I can say something to you and you’ll be like ‘cool, thanks for tell me that’.”
Natalie shares the transformation she and her mother had after working together to learn how to truly listen to each other.
"After speaking to you once, I didn’t know that our relationship would turn out to be as great as it has. My mom and I were hesitant at first because 3 months feels like a short amount of time. But deciding to invest on our relationship was the best thing we have done. It wasn’t a now or never situation but with each passing day, I knew it would be in our best interest to figure out a solution sooner or later. I did not want to spend another day fighting/arguing with my mom. Honestly I can’t thank you enough. You’ve helped us overcame what felt like impossible for us."
