Enough of the “Yo Momma” jokes. It's time to really talk about the different perspectives of motherhood!
In honor of Mother's Day, the ladies come together to discuss Mother's Day and what that means to them. The emotional relationship between mother and daughter has many ups and downs. In true Soul Sisters fashion, they are here to examine that and lay it out on the table!
No two mothers are the same. Since Kim and Jay know that, they talk about how their mothers were different and how it shaped the way they view Mother's Day. In Jay's words, Kim is on the “privileged side” since she has a less complicated relationship with her mother. Jay is open about taking the steps to heal from that and is very sure that many listeners can relate. She also shares a little bit about how a special woman in her life stepped in and has never left her side. You can almost hear how Jay lights up when she talks about the mother figure in her life.
As always, the ladies have different expectations when it comes to these type of things. Even though Jay feels that the day is no different from any other Sunday, she talks about how she would enjoy spending Mother's Day at home while being catered to. Of course, Kim isn't too fond of that. She would rather be taken out. Regardless of which way they want to spend the day, it's all about being honored and making memories with their loved ones.
All in all, Happy Mother's Day to anyone who is a mother or mother figure to someone. This could be aunties who stepped in when times were rough, cousins that are always there for support, sisters that are always there as an ear to listen and women who have lost their children but are lucky enough to give that love and affection to others. Just because someone gave birth, it doesn't make them a mother. It's all about the love and care that they provide.
