Cool Women Raise Cool Women

In this heartfelt and layered episode of Women Are So F*cking Cool, host Joanne Morton shares a powerful tribute to the women who raised us—our mothers. For Mother’s Day, we’re revisiting conversations from past episodes where eight incredible women opened up about their moms: the strong, flawed, creative, rebellious, resilient women who shaped them.From moms in the 1950s and ‘60s who gave up careers for family, to moms in the ‘90s who pushed boundaries with the support of feminist progress, these stories are rich with legacy and lessons. Joanne shares her own complicated—but grateful—relationship with her mother and reminds us that motherhood should always be a choice.This episode holds space for all of us—those who celebrate their moms, those who grieve them, and those healing from wounds. You’ll hear about mothers who raised children while defying societal norms, who served in the military, ran businesses, created art, and fiercely supported their daughters’ dreams. You’ll also hear how these FCWs found maternal wisdom in aunts, grandmothers, chosen family, and even within themselves.Because being a mom isn’t just about giving birth—it’s about nurturing life, creativity, and courage.Tune in to celebrate the women who raised us—and the cool women we continue to become.Support the FCW Podcast:If you love what you’re hearing, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show on your favorite podcast platform.
