Closer to You: A Mother–Daughter Connection Podcast
For women who long for healing, emotional safety, and true connection with their mothers or daughters — this is your space.
Welcome to Closer to You, the podcast for mothers and daughters who love each other deeply… but also sometimes drive each other a little bit crazy. Hosted by Steph Chaffee, Master Certified Trauma-Informed Life & Family Coach, Nervous System Specialist, and mom of five daughters, this show blends science, soul, and lived experience to help you heal generational patterns and create the close, trusting relationship you’ve always wanted.

• Why does talking to her feel so hard?
• Why do small conversations turn into big feelings?
• Why do I feel anxious, guilty, or shut down around her?
• Is it too late for us to reconnect?
…you’re in the right place.
Each episode is warm, conversational, faith-aligned, and grounded in nervous system science, emotional resilience, and real, doable tools you can use today. You’ll learn to communicate with more calm and clarity, set loving boundaries, understand triggers, start the path to repair past hurt, and create emotionally safe relationships — even if things have been strained or silent for years.
