This episode was originally recorded in 2022, when my mother was very much alive — in fact, she had just taken up ballroom dancing at 89.
By the time the episode aired in 2023, she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. How quickly things change.
She passed away in early 2024 and I have been missing her ever since.
My mom loved me wholeheartedly. She was present through every confident and successful moment in my life and every doubt-filled one. Her love shaped me and the work I do tremendously.
My mother wasn't perfect. None of us are. But she loved with her whole heart, and I have spent my career believing that kind of love is possible — in part because I was the recipient of it.
Whether you are celebrating your mother today, grieving her, or reflecting on the kind of love you want to give — I hope this episode offers you something meaningful.
