Okay so I have already abandoned my initial intention of one world punchy titles for this season - but thats okay, no rules here and anyway I could not sum up this convo in one word.
Super pumped to offer the first episode of our story telling season with a conversation on Mothers through the generations with my Mum, Pauline.
Our conversation blooms around four major conversation points:
- Differences of Mothering in 1954 (my Grandmother), 1989 (my Mother) and 2022 (me). Think expectations, support, co-parenting, education and lifestyle in all 3 generations. We came across some alarming parallels.
- Learning to advocate for yourself as a (human being and) Mother in your relationship.
- Gender roles and their expiration date.
- Respecting Women, respecting Mothers.
Please note there are themes of Domestic Violence spoken about in this episode.
