What happens when your mother reads the truth about herself in your memoir? In this raw and deeply moving episode, our guest opens up about the emotional aftermath of writing about her family—especially her mother.
She shares what it was like to gently touch on hard truths with a woman who grew up in an era where feelings were often buried, not spoken. Though they didn’t agree on everything, the two shared a rare moment of honesty and vulnerability—tears included—breaking a generational silence that had long defined their relationship.
From feeling seen to quietly apologizing for the past, her mother’s response is both surprising and poignant. This episode explores what it means to write your truth, reckon with your parents’ humanity, and begin healing—together or apart.
