Hi, I’m Saundra!

I specialize in guiding mothers to cultivate an enduring relationship with their daughter through the art of effective communication. My expertise lies in empowering mothers to assume the role of their daughters' trusted confidante, fostering open and candid dialogue that forms the foundation of a lasting connection.

After initially writing and launching my book, I found it surprising that while mothers were purchasing it, they weren't necessarily using it as a tool to spark conversations with their daughters. Instead, it seemed they were merely providing the book for their daughters to read on their own, missing the crucial opportunity for dialogue. My intention in writing the book was not only to inform teenagers but also to educate mothers, equipping them with the knowledge to engage in meaningful discussions with their daughters about important topics such as dating, healthy relationships, abuse, sex, and life in general.

However, I noticed a gap in communication; mothers weren't initiating the necessary conversations to prepare their daughters for various aspects of life. This realization prompted me to make it my mission to assist mothers in building an unbreakable bond with their daughters. I focus on teaching effective communication skills and the art of active listening, aiming to foster more than just a relationship but a deep, meaningful bond. While anyone can have a relationship, it takes a special connection to cultivate a true bond.

Over the years, I've been fortunate to develop a strong bond with my own daughters. We discuss everything, and they know they can come to me for advice or simply to talk things out. I've become their go-to person, their confidante, and I'm dedicated to helping every mother achieve the same kind of relationship with their daughters.

In my spare time, I cherish moments spent with my husband, children, extended family, and friends.

About The Book:

Make It Stop!
A Young Woman’s Guide to Overcome or Prevent Dating Abuse.

Saundra J Golden, during her teenage years, faced the aftermath of being sexually assaulted as a young girl by her piano teacher and enduring abuse from her boyfriend. Unfortunately, she felt isolated and lacked someone she could confide in. Despite having a relationship with her mother, Saundra did not feel comfortable discussing these traumatic experiences with her. Consequently, she suffered silently, fearing judgment and blame.

This situation resonates with numerous girls who are currently enduring similar hardships due to their mothers' lack of effective listening and communication skills. Saundra emphasizes the importance of initiating conversations about dating abuse, relationships, and sex in her book. She encourages mothers to guide their daughters through these topics, fostering an open line of communication that assures them of unwavering support. Saundra firmly believes that these crucial conversations not only strengthen the mother-daughter relationship but also create an unbreakable bond.

With Make It Stop!, you'll gain valuable insights to support your daughter in:

Recognizing that abuse encompasses more than just physical harm.
Distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy relationships.
Identifying warning signs and red flags in dating.
Emphasizing the importance of self-love and emotional well-being.
Discovering strategies to boost self-esteem and confidence.

Upon completing the book (ideally together with your daughter), you'll be equipped to initiate meaningful conversations. By discussing the book, you can help your daughter explore her feelings and thoughts on relationships, guiding her to understand the significance of prioritizing her own emotions before considering others'. This process empowers her to cultivate self-awareness and set boundaries.

Effectively listening to your daughter's thoughts, feelings, and desires fosters the beginning of a journey toward not just building a relationship, but forging a lasting bond. While it may pose challenges, remember that it's a gradual process—one that you're fully capable of navigating. Embrace the journey, knowing that it will lead to many enriching discussions between you and your daughter for years to come.

Remember, it’s a process, but you can do it!
