Bonus Episode--Deciphering Love Languages with Reframeable Hosts Natalie and Rebecca Davey

Whether it’s in your garage, basement, storage unit, or the back of a closet, I think most of us are holding on to a box or two of miscellaneous objects from our childhood. I had all but forgotten that I was storing a box of musical figurines in my garage until I discovered it soaked through on the flooded floor.  Unpacking the box and assessing the damage brought up a complicated mix of emotions. On this bonus episode, I’m joined by Natalie and Rebecca Davey, hosts of Reframeables, to explore a different perspective on my relationship with my mom and the gifts she gave me throughout my life. 

Despite never showing any interest in delicate, not-to-be-played-with toys, they were always waiting for me under the Christmas tree. What was my mom trying to do within the dynamic of our family by curating other people's collections? Why was it so hard for her to accept my aesthetic and lifestyle? 

Natalie, Rebecca, and I dig deeper into these questions and talk about the vulnerability that exists in the mother-daughter dynamic. They really help me reframe and remember the things that I loved about my mom and the effort she made to connect our family. 

If you enjoy this conversation, I encourage you to check out Reframeables to hear the deeply insightful and healing discussions they bring to every episode.
