“It’s never too late to have a relationship, and you can always choose your own destiny.” — Liana Morris

“Everything can be ritual. Everything can be sacred.” — Liana Morris

In this heartfelt episode of Better Call Daddy, host Reena Friedman Watts sits down with a long term friend Liana Morris for a conversation about family relationships, divorce, forgiveness, motherhood, and healing generational wounds.

Liana opens up about growing up with an absent father, the emotional impact of divorce on children, and what it was like trying to reconnect after years of distance. She shares how personal growth, creativity, and self-awareness helped her heal and become more intentional in raising her son, David.

“The more calmness and intention I bring into a situation, the more sacred it becomes.” — Liana

Reena and Liana talk about mother-son relationships, building trust after family trauma, and how laughter, art, and shared experiences can create connection even after painful chapters.
