"I've Had an Unusual Life"

from All About My Mother In Law · host Marie

In this pilot episode, I sit down with my now 92-year old mother in law, Elana Gordon, as she shares her remarkable life story and discusses the importance of humor, resilience, and love in the face of grief and adversity. From the losses of two husbands to starting over- and finding love- at 90, her story is not just inspirational but highlights the importance of always being open to growing and learning. Elana reflects on her relationships, the challenges of raising children alone, the lessons learned from her late husbands, and the power of family, support, and love. We discuss why she's doing this at this stage of her life after being encouraged for years to start a podcast, and she shows us how anyone can begin a new chapter in their life, no matter your age.
