Some lessons get told to you straight. Others you absorb by watching, feeling, and carrying things you didn't even know you picked up. In this episode, sisters Candace and Kelli get into the ones that stuck.
Candace reflects on her mom's no-nonsense wisdom, from "common sense ain't common" to the unforgettable talks about boys and men that were equal parts hilarious and life-changing. Kelli opens up about learning hustle, independence, and honesty mostly by watching her mom move through the world, because some things don't get explained, they just get absorbed.
Together, they sit with what it means to grow up shaped by women who were also figuring it out. And they find that talking about it with each other feels a lot like healing.
This one will make you laugh, make you think, and may make you wanna call your mama.
This is the first of two episodes about their parents, tune in next week as Kelli and Candace talk about their dad.
