Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse

Laura Davis is the author of 6 non-fiction books which have sold more than 1.8 million copies. She’s talking here mainly about her latest book, her first memoir: The Burning Light of Two Stars: A Mother-Daughter Story. I finished the book the day before recording, and was profoundly moved by it. I was also very tearful. I’m grateful to Laura for sharing her story and giving me the opportunity to read it. I recommend the book for all women as we’re all daughters. And many of us have people who we’d like to be closer to.

We talk about:

• Why Laura wrote this particular book
• The challenge of untying the mother daughter knot
• Digging deep to tell such a vulnerable story
• The impact of life trauma on women’s passion and purpose
• Coming to terms with life trauma
• Helping people heal from trauma and especially sexual abuse
• Coping with family estrangement
• What Laura has learnt about mother daughter relationships
• How Laura’s feelings towards her mother changed as she got older and sicker
• Laura’s advice for women when they lose their parents and mothers especially

And more!
