This is a Mother's Day themed episode. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in Perrysburg and beyond! This episode publishes on Friday, May 8, 2026, and Mother's Day in the United States is on May 10.

Note: Even though this episode celebrates Moms, Mother's Day can also feel complicated, painful, or bittersweet for some people. No matter what this holiday feels like for you, I hope there's something in this episode that resonates with you today.

This episode has three parts:

1. First: I peel back the curtain so you can get to know me better as a Mom
2. Second, I celebrate all types of mothers
3. Third, I share some of my personal favorite Mom-related things.
