Mondays with Mom

Mom’s back with another unforgettable story — this time about standing up to bullies, finding her strength, and laughing through it all.

I’ve always said my mom, Lia, is one of the strongest, most independent women I know, and this week’s story proves exactly why. In this episode, my mom tells us about when she had to stand up to some neighborhood bullies while raising two kids on her own, with a few unexpected (but technically related) side stories thrown in (because with my mom, there always are!).

In this episode of Mondays with Mom, we dive into a hilarious and memorable story from my mom's past. She shares how she got her perfect date-night outfit sorted (without breaking the bank) complete with a DIY fix for moth-eaten heels using a permanent marker!

But things take a wild turn when a wardrobe malfunction leads to a laugh-out-loud moment involving her pantyhose and a dance floor mishap with another woman's husband!

Join us as we celebrate the charm of fashion on a budget, and laugh together over wardrobe malfunctions that lead to unforgettable memories.

Happy Monday everyone! You ever plan something out so meticulously and yet still things go off the rails? Maybe a friend predicted your future but it went against your life plan so you got rid of any and all evidence before you could verify whether the predictions were correct.... Or maybe that last one is just my mom!

For our second episode, my mom delves into the story of how the life she planned for herself, specifically her love life, did NOT go entirely according to plan, despite all her best efforts. We also chat about her 'ideal partner' checklist and why things aren't so black and white when planning your future.

Welcome to the very first episode of Mondays with Mom! I’m your host, Jo, and I’m so excited to introduce you to my amazing mom, Lia.

In our podcast debut, we cover a bit of everything!

My mom tells me how her parents (my grandparents) ended up in South Africa, shares a few childhood memories growing up there with a big Greek family, and talks about her early dreams of motherhood.

We also talk about her faith, what it’s meant to her over the years, and how she helped guide us (her kids) in building a relationship with God too.

My mom has always dreamed of sharing her life story and I’m so happy to finally share it with you. We hope you’ll stick around for the journey because there’s so much more to come.
