Episode 56: Shaving, Church, and Mother's Day: Questioning Everything
from Wake Her Up · host Marcella Hill and Sharon Johnson
What if Mother's Day isn't actually for mothers?Marcella Hill and her sister Sharon Johnson are back — and they're blowing up one of the most "sacred" days of the year. Spoiler: the way we celebrate Mother's Day has almost nothing to do with what it was originally intended for. And once you learn that, you can't unsee it.But they don't stop there. This episode is a full-on audit of the things women do simply because society said so — how we dress, whether we shave, how we decide what's "right" and "wrong," and who actually gets to make those rules. Marcella and Sharon get personal about how their thinking has completely shifted since leaving the Mormon faith, and what it means to finally ask the question nobody raised them to ask:Why am I doing this — and is it actually for me?If you've ever followed a tradition, a rule, or a beauty standard on autopilot, this episode is going to hit.
