  • EP19: Happy Mother’s Day
    Happy Mother's Day 2021. In this episode of the Better U Leadership podcast, we briefly explore the various perspectives women may be experiencing on Mother's Day. Lead a life over the next 364 days that will inspire your kids; grown or underage to demonstrate dignity and respect to you.
    Check on the folks you think are strong today; especially if their mother is in heaven.
    Don’t act all crazy or over the top.
    Just say to them; this is a wellness check. Then shut your big ole mouth. Listen. Take your cues from them.
    Trust me. You don’t know how they feel. Even if your mother is in heaven. Even if you’re the best mom ever, you don’t know how they feel. Everyone deals with grief, loss, regrets, and love differently.
    or send a text today or tomorrow; depending........well. You know what I mean.
    As for me. I’m grateful to my God for allowing me to feel the unmatched love of my Hattie Mae. I’m also grateful to be a mom.
    Gone now. Check on your strong friends.
