À propos de ce contenu audio

This episode, just like every other one, gets real. Siobhan and Mel sat down to talk about their moms — what they taught us about being women, what they didn't, and all the messy in-between stuff that we're still untangling as we raise our own kids.

We get into it: the houses we grew up in (one filled with baked goods and zero visible conflict, the other with a mom who was amazing 20 days out of the month and losing it the other 10). The grandparents who somehow morphed into completely different people than the parents we remember. The Kim Kardashian conversation Mel had to have with her boys on the family room floor (you'll want to hear how that went). The Disney movies that ruined us. The generational baggage we're actively choosing not to pass down.

We talk about how our moms gave us everything they knew how to give — and how some of us are saying "no thanks" to the parts that don't fit anymore. About being the first in the lineage to stop stuffing it all down. About yelling at our kids when we're tired and feeling terrible about it. About the tiny moments — a kid offering to finish the dishes, a teacher's email, a daughter wiping drool off a baby's chin — that remind us we might actually be doing okay.

If you've ever looked at your own mother and thought I love you AND I'm doing this differently, this one's for you.
