What happens when your mother reads your memoir—and sees herself in the pages?
In this vulnerable and deeply layered episode, we explore the delicate aftermath of writing about family, especially when those closest to you are still living. Our guest opens up about her relationship with her mother after the book was released, the emotional conversation they shared, and how they navigated their differing truths with honesty and grace.
Though not everything was agreed upon, both mother and daughter walked away from that moment “living in the land of honesty.” We dive into how her mother chose to focus on the parts of the book where she felt seen, valued, and recognized not just as a mom—but as a woman shaped by a different time, with dreams that were quietly shelved.
This episode offers a powerful look at truth-telling, generational empathy, and the courage it takes to write—and read—family stories.
