Mothers in Neverland, Jenny Slate and Motherhood without a Mother

In the second episode of “The Mothers,” Sara & Vee recap the experience of launching their first episode, listener responses and painful learnings. Sara talks about seeing the Peter Pan musical with her mother & daughter. She realizes the whole darn thing is about Mothers and a manifestation of playwright JM Barrie’s desire to recover the love of his mother after loss – which leads Vee to beautifully discuss what it’s like to become a mother herself after losing her own mother many years ago. Turns out there might be some magic in the little things – like vacuums – after all. Vee & Sara also touch on Jenny Slate’s book “Life Form” and agree we gotta get her on the pod!Share feedback and guest ideas [email protected] Mothers is a production of Backline Media, shining a light on those who carry the team.
