In honor of Mother’s Day Sami and Aleen are joined by Sami’s Mom, Ilene Fishbein. They discuss how going through old pictures can bring up mixed feelings, calorie counting, and trying to lose weight for other people. They also discuss how going to summer camp affects the way you see your body, having a sibling and a son with special needs, and deciding to go to therapy. They unpack how to identify the right therapist for you, getting your life together at 60, and how to learn how to identify what triggers your anxiety. Then they discuss mother-daughter relationships, finding the place you want to call home, deciding to get a dog, and living alone. Lastly, they discuss grief and getting separated from a toxic partner.
