Empowering Mother-Daughter Connections ~ Guest, Myra Hollis

Empowering Mother-Daughter Connections ~ Guest, Myra Hollis 

Let's Talk Wellness - with Host, Mara James 

Connection is a vital part of our development and sustenance, yet it can be really challenging especially when it comes to mother-daughter connection. This week, Mara welcomes Myra Hollis for a conversation about empowering mothers and daughters to build strong, healthy connections, and some tools she created to support them do that. 

Ms. Hollis received her Master’s in Counseling from San Diego State University. She specializes in helping individuals navigate stressful transitions in life and improve their self-esteem through the use of narrative therapy, trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and solution-focused approaches. She believes therapy serves as a safe space for clients to practice how they want to approach their life outside of session. 

Myra strives to provide culturally-affirming counseling. She is the author of self-guided journals (Senses of Self & Let’s Heal) and co-creator of the Black Women Healing Pod, a podcast devoted to exploring topics related to the lives of Black women. She has focused on her recent business of ABC conversations to help facilitate more conversations between mothers and daughters.
