Episode 16 PT 1: Pride in Parenting: Love’s Legacy and Future with Ranae Von MedingIn this milestone episode of Was Your Ma on Telly, Kelly and Ami sit down with their first-ever guest, Ranae von Meding. A born-again Christian turned LGBTQ+ activist, Ranae shares her powerful journey of discovering the love of her life in a same-sex relationship, all while navigating a deeply religious upbringing. At its heart, this episode is a deep dive into the many facets of love—how it shapes us, challenges us, and ultimately defines the families we build. From childhood understandings of love (Thanks Disney) to the transformative experience of becoming a parent, the conversation explores love in its most profound forms. Ranae’s story of overcoming challenges, becoming a fearless advocate for equal rights, and playing a pivotal role in the battle for equality for children of LGBTQ+ families, is as compelling as it is inspiring. As a public figure, CEO of Equality for Children, content creator, and, most importantly, a mother, Ranae has made headlines and appeared on countless TV shows, championing the rights of LGBTQ+ families. Meanwhile, this week, Kelly and Ami are hilariously battling over one mic, bringing their signature blend of chaos and charm to the episode. Adding their usual humor, they reminisce about snotty ex-boyfriends, heartbreaks, and the idea that we all experience three great loves, setting the stage for Ranae’s moving narrative. This episode also delves into Ranae and her wife Audrey’s journey through Reciprocal IVF, the challenges of same-sex parenthood, and the ongoing legal battles to secure a brighter future for their three children, Ava, Arya, and Ali. Packed with laughter, reflection, and hope, this episode offers a fresh perspective on love, parenting, and the fight for equality.
