When I’m Gone, What Will They Remember?
Lessons from Loss, Legacy & Self-Care
Losing her grandmother and aunt over the past two years has made Rachel reflect on the legacy we leave behind and what she wants her kids to remember about her. So often, we hear about women being praised for their selflessness, but is that really the goal? In this episode, we dive into family stories, breaking generational patterns, and how prioritizing joy over exhaustion can change everything.
Episode Highlights:
📌 [1:45] - My grandmother’s hilarious reaction to hospice care and her “manifestation” of passing away
📌 [6:30] - Processing the loss of my last grandparent and why it hit differently than I expected
📌 [11:15] - Remembering my Aunt Margriet—her spunky spirit, mothering nature, and unexpected impact
📌 [16:50] - The funeral realization that made me rethink the idea of self-sacrificing motherhood
📌 [21:10] - What I actually want my kids to say about me one day
📌 [25:30] - Why modeling joy, boundaries, and self-care is just as important as showing love
If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow mom who needs the reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. And if you enjoyed the episode, don’t forget to rate, review, and follow the podcast. Your support means the world! 💛
