Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

On this episode of Mountain Talk we're celebrating, remembering, and reckoning with mothers. Maybe you had the best mom in the world, or maybe the worst, or maybe (and most likely) your mom is a complex, contradictory, nuanced individual - deeply wonderful, and deeply flawed, and only human like the rest of us. Maybe you’re a mom, maybe you’re about to be a mom, maybe you were raised by two moms, or no moms. Holiday’s are complicated times for many people, and in this episode Appalshop staff share their gratitude and lessons, and their stories of resilience and healing from their relationships with their mothers. Others share dreams and hopes about types of mothers they aim to be. These aren’t all happy stories, and one person talks about childhood abuse (though not in great detail). But there are moments of joy and kindness and growth too. This one's for all the moms! And all the children of moms!
