in this candid and heartfelt episode, I sit down with my mom, Ruth Ann Williams, to explore her journey of faith, parenting, and love. We dive into her experiences as a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the values she worked to instill in our family, and the challenges she faced raising children in a world that is ever-changing.

This conversation offers a glimpse into the other side of the dialogue—the perspective of a loving parent, doing their best to nurture faith and provide structure, often shaped by the values and expectations of their generation.

Together, we reflect on moments of connection, generational differences in views on faith, and the importance of open communication in understanding one another. It was a healing and enlightening discussion that deepened my appreciation for her efforts and her unwavering commitment to love and family.
