Her bosses wanted her to shut up and do her work, says Cate of her mother's bosses, but that was not who Helen was.  Helen grew up in South Carolina, one of three children raised by a farming family.

Her mother insisted she leave the farming life to her younger brothers and go to college. Within a few years, she was one of 5 women to graduate  from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Helen completed her teaching degree. Though she never taught in a classroom, she did teach her daughter that women are smart, they can work and raise children  at the same time.

Helen got a second shot at life later on  and said "there's nothing you can't do at 60 that you can at 40." She embraced a new career and was attentive and  fond of her grandson.

Because Helen struggled with being a perfectionist, she took motherhood very seriously, and felt its' confines. 

Once she recognized that her daughter was a strong and confident woman, she could relax and enjoy life. Cate says about her mom "she had a wonderful personality and great fashion sense and people were drawn to her."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and  answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.
