Shownotes
Hunter interviews four powerful women about their relationships with their mothers and their experiences as mothers themselves.
Meet this episode's strangers:
- Rosabella was adopted from Ukraine by a single mother and raised in Los Angeles. Her adoptive mother located her biological mother through a private investigator. She reached out and traveled across the world to the war-torn Ukraine to meet her biological sister. She is so grateful for this experience, which gave her not one but two loving mothers.
- Michelle Obama chats with Hunter about how beautiful it has been to watch her daughters grow, and her own mother, who told her to "Come home, we'll love you here", which has always helped ground her.
- Brenda is the single mother of an autistic son. Through him, she's learned how fulfilling it is to be a mother and is doing whatever she can to make his dreams come true. She's even started a quesadilla cart in order to give him a job and make ends meet.
- Sharron tells the story of her late mother, who was her best friend. Sharron herself is the mother of 10 children, fulfilling her lifelong dream of having lots and lots of kids. She wishes her mother were alive to see how full the family tree has gotten.
