If Our Moms Could See Us Now: A Mother’s Day Conversation About Love, Loss, and Growth

They were our anchors… and somehow, we’re learning how to stand on our own.

This Mother’s Day conversation is honest, funny, and unexpectedly healing—about the women who raised us, the relationships that shaped us, and the versions of ourselves we’ve grown into along the way. Lisa and Karen share what it’s like to move from daughter to friend, to grieve what was, and to finally understand the lessons that didn’t make sense back then.

There are moments that will make you laugh (like the things our moms definitely didn’t want to know) and moments that hit deep—like saving a voice recording you didn’t know you’d one day treasure, or realizing strength showed up when you didn’t have a choice.

This episode isn’t just about loss—it’s about growth, perspective, and the quiet ways our moms are still part of who we are today. Karen brings the lens of losing her mom young and learning life without her, while Lisa shares what it means to reprocess a relationship and find a deeper, more honest connection over time. Together, they guide a conversation that feels like sitting down with women who truly get it.

🎧 This one is for:

• Women in midlife navigating complicated or evolving relationships with their moms

• Anyone missing their mom (especially around Mother’s Day)

• Daughters becoming mothers—and seeing everything differently

• Women doing the work to heal, reflect, and move forward

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I get it now, Mom”… this conversation will stay with you.
