Mother-Daughter Resource Library
Welcome!
If you’ve landed here, something in your relationship has felt off - distant, tender or just not quite what you hoped it would be.

Meet Your Guide
I’m Hilary—therapist, mother, daughter, and guide for women doing the sacred work of healing the mother-daughter bond.
For over 15 years, I’ve supported women as a family therapist—and for the past five, I’ve devoted my entire practice to this one relationship. Not because it’s easy. But because it’s everything. What I teach inside my programs wasn’t handed to me in a textbook.
It came from sitting with hundreds of mothers and daughters across every kind of rupture.
It came from walking through my own questions as a daughter and as a mother.
It came from listening, witnessing and building a framework that actually works for women from all walks of life.
This isn’t mindset work or surface repair. It’s relationship work. Generational work. This is healing at the root. If you're here, I already know something about you: You’re the one in your lineage willing to turn toward what hurts and begin again.
And if you’re ready, to not only learn but heal the breakdowns that have brought you here today, let’s begin.
What moms and daughters are saying:
“The first time I talked to Hilary I think I cried the entire time because I felt like I had no options to heal with my daughter. Now there is an opening and I’m so glad my daughter accepted this invitation to work together.”

"After that session, I saw that I wasn’t listening to her at that time of her life because I was so afraid of what was going to happen that I went into protection mode and missed a big part of what was needed - talking and listening to her instead of telling her “you can’t” over and over. I have a lot of regrets in how I handled that."
Then she sent me this message a few weeks later after having conversations with her daughter and getting a 'yes' to Sunday dinner, "I was sitting back watching all my kids and grandkids together having fun and thinking “this is all I wanted, this is all I need.”
P.F.
"Everything we have done is amazing, your patience and listening and putting pieces together from what you hear. You are healing generations of daughters and making such an impact. I really don’t even want it to end. My daughter was considering not allowing me in her life in November before she found you and that’s not the case now."

"Thank you so much Hilary. I grew so much in the past year and you helped me so so much in my relationship with my mom and so much in the relationship with myself. Thank you so much for everything."

“Up until these sessions my daughter refused to listen to me at all. She told her father she didn’t want to listen because she didn’t want to feel guilty. But I wasn’t trying to make her feel guilty, I wanted to get her to understand what was wrong. And she’s listening to me now... it's been fabulous."
- LR
“Thank you so much for everything. I appreciate you choosing this life's work. It's been just wonderful working together."
- NR
“I’ve been able to analyze a lot of her behaviors with your help. Connecting with her and responding rather than my old reacting has really, really helped. Thank you genuinely for all your support. It’s been an amazing help to us.”
- KATIE
Thank you again for the gorgeous basket- the level of thought you put into your programming is incredible and is so warm and welcoming. My sister in law is visiting and sees several therapists for her daughters and was like "what??? your therapist/coach came to your house and delivered this amazing gift?? Who does that???" and I said "Hilary does."

“I've learned that there has to be a level of self-preservation in this wifing and mothering thing. We give so much to everyone and if you don't establish boundaries it's going to go down a bad path."
- MARIE
"If only we had Hilary whispering in our ears during our interactions with our girls"

"I got this insight from you, Hilary Truong, thank you. I learned so much and it has even improved my relationship with my own mother."

"Hilary Truong is an expert in the field of mother and daughter relationships. Our mother and daughter philanthropy group was fortunate enough to connect with Hilary via Zoom. Hilary engages with her audience and went beyond our expectations with her calm demeanor, eloquent speaking and practical ready to use suggestions.
Her topic is so relevant and to quote the woman sitting next to me, “I could listen to her all day!”
JENNIFER SMITH, NATIONAL CHARITY LEAGUE, PALOS VERDE
"We had a little snafu on our drive to school less than an hour before I heard your presentation…She was telling me about her new coach and how she doesn’t like it when he teaches her a new style because it’s confusing. I commented how lucky she is to have two coaches - her mood sunk- she became grouchy and quiet for the last few minutes of our ride, which affected both of us and I didn’t even see it. We said goodbye and I felt horrible (and to be honest, angry). Then fast forward to your presentation and as soon as possible- I texted her “I’m sorry - when you shared with me about your coach, I should’ve just listened… I can see how that would be confusing.” She responded immediately ;) Then I explained- she can ultimately decide what’s right for her. Bingo. She responded happily- feeling heard and we connected for the rest of the day. I attribute her being so cuddly and happy to your sage advice given earlier that morning. So thank you. A huge, heartfelt thank you, Hilary."
“Hilary did an amazing job connecting to our audience of young women (6th – 12th grader) and their mothers. The topic of mother-daughter relationships is complicated not only because of the relationship between mother and daughter, but also the relationship between mothers and their mothers, many we are now taking care of. Hilary personalized her presentation by using a real-world examples that resonated with us all. It was surprising how impactful one moment of time is to many of us. I would highly recommend Hilary as a speaker to give guidance on how to open and strengthen mother-daughter bonds.”
