In this "Just Chatting" episode, Lina catches up with her new mom friend, Giselle. 

Lina and Giselle explore Season 2 of the Netflix show, Ginny and Georgia. They weave in their own experiences in relation to the major themes of Ginny and Georgia:

• How Georgia has so many layers and is such a complex character 
• Georgia's history of abuse
• How Ginny's dad, Zion, is often glamorized despite his flaws as a father
• Does Georgia have the right to play "God"? 
• How the show discusses being mixed race
• How the show treats racism
• Relating to Georgia in trying to fit in with new mom friends
• Relating to Georgia in how triggered she is by her in-laws 

More about Giselle: Giselle is a first-generation American with Dominican roots, who's also a new mom learning how to navigate that world while unpacking her own childhood (generational) trauma, and finding her balance as a new "working mom" with a 17th month old toddler, that just came out of a severe PPD experience. This experience has led her to start her own podcast called the "What's New, Mama? Podcast", because she hopes that by sharing her experience, alongside her sis-in-law, Amy, that it can help another Mama out there feel less alone and more understood. Her podcast can be found on her website and/or Spotify, Apple, Amazon, and Youtube with new episodes every Sunday and check out their IG @whatsnewmamapodcast
