Empathy in unlearning and the pendulation of motherhood

JoAnna Bennett, the first guest of this season, returns to interview me in this finale episode to close out the season.

We speak of how empathy plays a role in unlearning. As mothers of young children, we pontificate how we will raise teenagers. I share another take on how the village supports a mother as well as how I see motherhood pendulating from generation to generation. 

We wrap up the episode on my favorite learnings from each guest as well as what Season 3 may bring.

So many thanks to JoAnna for guest hosting!

I'll see you in Season 3 after a hiatus.
