The first episode of the New Year is a special one! Erin talks to her mom, Caryn, about the foundation that shaped her idea of what it means to be a mother, the evolving dynamic between parents and their adult children, and how the expectations of what women could be influenced her desire to create a world where she could have a career and a family.
More specifically, Erin and Caryn discuss:
- The challenges of an evolving identity from career to retirement
- Learning your role in your adult children's lives
- Why it's important to allow the relationship between your children and yourself to grow beyond the dynamic that was established while all under the same roof
- Adult children learning to contribute to the relationship with their parent, as much as their parent contributes to them
- How loss can impact our view of the roles we play as mothers
