What Our Moms Taught Us: Faith, Healing & Real Talk, a Mother's Day Special Part 1 Episode 12

In this special Mother’s Day episode, Brittany and Dani discuss motherhood. In fact, the entire episode is dedicated to moms with special guest, Patti, Dani's mom! This will be a two-part series. Part 1 is about "all things our moms taught us," and Part 2 will focus more on Dani's mom's story, her trauma, the abuse she suffered, and her side of the story from Dani's personal episode. There's laughter, tears, and “healing” conversations. What their mothers taught them included appreciating nature and awe, having a firm handshake, trying unusual foods from ranch life, and prioritizing mental health awareness and medication. They talk about faith and “breadcrumbs,” with Dani describing moving from a Catholic upbringing to years of questioning, while her mom shares how she became a Christian and the role of prayer alongside action. The conversation includes family parallels, Mother’s Day memories, Nina’s influence and passing anniversary, a traced-hand-in-Bible idea, and a gifted Christmas village as a meaningful “breadcrumb.”}   00:00 Mother’s Day Cold Open 01:29 Meet Mom on the Pod 02:48 Love of Nature 05:25 Family Synchronicities 07:21 Awe and Outdoors Reset 09:04 Motherhood Emotions 09:24 Teen Years and Miscommunication 12:07 Kids Tell Their Story 14:08 Faith and Breadcrumbs 19:27 K-LOVE and Concert Joy 21:44 Handshake and First Impressions 22:28 Gizzards and Survival Food 24:36 Mental Health Matters 25:38 Meds And Stigma 26:26 Hidden Anxiety And Anger 27:59 Memory Mixup And Dissociation 29:05 Tampons To Menstrual Cups 32:08 Lessons From Mom 33:44 Trad Roles And Work Ethic 35:25 Trades Skills And Tomboys 38:15 Brittany On Mom Love 40:53 Faith Versus Mental Health 42:39 Nina Memories And Breadcrumbs 46:27 Christmas Village Gift 49:11 Mother’s Day Wrap And Reset
