from MOM TALK · host Jordan Rye and Victoria McGaha
We’re Back: Grief, Life Updates, and Finding Our Way AgainWe’re back after a long break, and I’m sharing honestly why recording stopped—grief has come in waves, and once the busy “to-do” list for my mom started wrapping up, it got harder instead of easier. We catch you up on what’s been going on: dance competitions that felt full of signs from my mom, spring break highlights and the emotions of Julianne’s baby shower. We also celebrate my niece LJ coming home from the NICU, talk about perimenopause and how grief has shown up in my body, and chat about Remi’s kindergarten kickoff as the kids keep growing up fast.00:00 We Are Back01:15 Break And Grief03:06 Handling Mom Tasks05:16 Signs At Dance08:08 Spring Break Recap08:26 Discovery Park Trip12:16 Food And Mall Stops15:52 Home Projects And Pool17:21 Niece Comes Home18:41 NICU and Heart Surgery19:29 Feeding Tube Fears20:32 Spring Break Recap21:17 Kindergarten Kickoff23:43 Teachers and Transitions25:54 Kids Growing Up Fast27:21 Baby Shower Emotions29:55 Grief in the Body32:40 First Holidays Without Mom35:05 It Is What It Is35:42 Wrap Up and Follow
