The journey of motherhood transforms us in ways nothing else can. From those first overwhelming moments holding a newborn to navigating the challenges of raising confident, respectful children, motherhood reshapes our entire existence. 

In this heartfelt Mother's Day episode, we dive deep into our personal experiences as mothers while celebrating the women who shaped us. We explore that strange mix of overwhelming attachment and uncertainty that comes with becoming a parent, when suddenly your entire identity shifts from focusing on yourself to centering completely around this tiny human who depends on you for everything.

We share candid insights about the differences between raising first and subsequent children—how those first child milestones remain crystal clear while second children often become "a blur" in our memories. Not because we love them any less, but because our attention is divided and our confidence has grown. Our conversation turns to setting boundaries and teaching respect, values that seem increasingly important in today's world. As we admit, our children aren't "perfect angels" (whose are?), but we believe in the importance of discipline and structure as expressions of love.

Some of the most touching moments come when we reflect on our own mothers and how their influence shapes our parenting. Those scripture verses and Christian radio stations that once made us roll our teenage eyes? They're now the foundation of our own parenting approaches. The saying rings true—we really do become our mothers in many ways, and that's something we've learned to embrace rather than resist.

Whether you're in the thick of motherhood, dreaming of becoming a mother, or celebrating the mother figures in your life, this episode offers comfort, wisdom, and a few laughs about the beautiful, messy reality of nurturing the next generation. Join us for this special Mother's Day conversation that honors all forms of maternal love.
