Becoming You with Suzy Welch

I Raised Four Perfect Children. You Will Hate How I Did It. You’re Welcome.


Listen Later

OK, first of all, they are not actually perfect. But they are perfectly happy and healthy. They have lives they love, partners they adore, and jobs that light them up. And perhaps most importantly for our purposes today: they think their mother is the greatest thing since Krispy Creme Donuts. So. Don’t believe it? Tune in to hear right from them.

In this Mother's Day episode, your host Suzy Welch shares the three rules she mothered by, and they are not what you'd expect. They are not soft. But they come from a place of deep love, hard-won experience, and a completely genuine obsession with getting the one thing right that she believed actually mattered.

Suzy will also tell you about the Sod House mothers of the Great Plains, and why she thought about them every single day she was raising her kids. Even during the really bad weeks. Especially during the really bad weeks.

This episode is for every mother who is in it right now — tired, uncertain, doing her absolute best, and wondering if it's going to be enough. Suzy is here to tell you: it is. And someday, it's going to feel so easy and so joyful that you'll wish you could go back and tell yourself so.

Until then, happy Mother's Day.
