Maddie Zahm explores familial relationships on "Mothers & Daughters"

"Mothers & daughters is without a doubt my favourite song I’ve ever written. There’s something so honest about acknowledging that your mom is also just a girl living life for the first time too. I held a lot of resentment towards my mom in my later teen years as I navigated my relationship with food, god and my body," Maddie Zahm explains. "But the older I get and the closer my mom and I have become the more I’ve realised she is the greatest friend I have ever had. I sometimes can’t fathom that she had me at twenty-two years old. I am twenty-seven and the idea of raising a daughter without passing on any of my current burdens seems impossible."

"As life keeps spinning, I only find more empathy and understanding for my mom. And not only for her but also my mom’s mom and so forth. We are all a cycle of women learning how to raise other women in a society that tells us that we’re never doing enough. And I know it’s not the case for everyone but for some of us one day we wake up and realise our mothers were more than enough. And not only that, but we’re exactly like them," she continues.
