ily!: The Mother Daughter Workbook
ily! (I love you!)
Onedia N. Gage, Ph. D.
ily, text language for I love you, is a profound space to do an awesome work! This workbook is designed to bring mothers and daughters closer together in better relationships.
The mother daughter pair sees major mountains and valleys. This workbook will share insight through the mother/daughter responses that will facilitate the growth of them both.
Be prepared for surprise and excitement, laughter and tears, joy and freedom, wisdom and encouragement.
Don’t be afraid to be transparent. Your courage is required. Your presence is commendable. Your dedication is inspiring. Your perseverance is outstanding.
Immerse yourself in each other in this study. You deserve this. No other relationship is like this one because you did not choose each other. You were chosen for each other.
Engage totally in the journey. It is worth every step! It is worth every tear! It is worth every moment! It is worth all the time it takes!
Gage requires honesty on these pages. Prepare to be transformed.
From me to we
Then there were Two.
Love. Talk. Time.

A Mother Daughter Relationship Workbook

The Mother Daughter Brunch
3 Hours

Join us for The ily! Mother Daughter Brunch — three hours dedicated to the most powerful relationship on earth. Inspired by Dr. Onedia N. Gage’s ily! (I Love You!): A Mother Daughter Relationship Workbook, this brunch moves past photos and mimosas into real, guided connection.
Over shared plates and honest conversation, mothers and daughters will move through the heart of the ily! workbook — Love, Communication, Truth, Expectations, and Legacy. Guided prompts, a love-language discovery exercise, and a guided letter-writing moment create space for the laughter, the tears, and the breakthroughs Dr. Gage writes about — the kind that happen when two women stop performing and start being honest.
You’ll sign your own Mother/Daughter Covenant, write a love letter she’ll keep for years, and leave with tools to keep the conversation going long after brunch ends.
“You did not choose each other. You were chosen for each other.”
3 hours. Real conversation. A relationship worth the investment.

“You did not choose each other. You were chosen for each other.”
–Dr. Onedia N. Gage, CLC
The workshop
Doing the work for a better future
The ily! Mother Daughter Workshop is seven hours set aside for one purpose: transformation. Inspired by Dr. Onedia N. Gage’s ily! (I Love You!): A Mother Daughter Relationship Workbook, this is not a seminar you sit through — it is a dialogue you enter into.
Across a full day together, mothers and daughters move through the workbook’s core conversations — Love, Roles, Communication, Truth, Expectations, Consequences, Technology, Quality Time, Transparency, and Legacy. Guided prompts, honest exchange, and real accountability create space for the breakthrough that happens when two women stop performing and start being honest with each other.
Lunch is served midday, because this work deserves a pause, not a rush.
You will sign your own Mother/Daughter Covenant. You will write the letter you have been avoiding. You will say, out loud, what you have never said before. You will leave different than you arrived.
“You did not choose each other. You were chosen for each other.” Come discover why that is worth seven hours.
7 hours. Real dialogue. Lives transformed.
