My Complicated Relationship with My Mother: Foster Care, Illness, and Healing

from The Confidence Chronicles

In today's episode, I am unpacking a bit about the relationship with my mom.  If you’ve been listening to the podcast you know me and mama have had a rough ride  Dealing with her illness, my foster homes, and everything in between However  I realize that I haven’t shared recent news about the relationship my mother and I have And we’ve healed so much together.  I haven’t seen her in almost 3 years and in April 2022 she’s coming to Australia I thought it would be such a great time to interview my mum for the first time on the podcast so she can share her story of raising her daughter as a single mother battling bipolar My mother is my hero and she is a woman I look up to for her strength and determination and I believe I learned a lot of that strength from her I know this episode will resonate with you whether you are a mother or not because I dive deep into our personal relationship and the emotional side of what we went through as mother-daughter I hope you love this episode and I cannot wait for you to listen to our episode together when she arrives in Australia!
