Show Notes
In this special Mother's Day episode, Dre and Em open a heartfelt, honest conversation about what it means to mother—not just as a parent, but as a presence. Together they explore the idea of mothering as a verb—a way of loving, nurturing, guiding, and holding space that lives in many forms and many people.
This episode invites us to expand the definition of motherhood to honor all the ways we've been mothered—by our friends, our mentors, our sisters, and Mother Earth herself. Whether you've birthed a child, held a friend through heartbreak, or simply offered unwavering care, this one's for you. It is a call to celebrate the feminine force that keeps us all connected.
Topics include: — Reframing Mother's Day to include more stories — How women mother each other across friendship, work, and ritual — Letting go of the "parenthood prerequisite" for wisdom and love — Honoring Mother Earth as our shared ancestral thread — Expanding what it means to be whole, loving, and enough
Join us as we celebrate all the mothers, and all who mother.
