In this week’s episode, Jalie and Tamara have a toast to their mothers...which sounds rather like a roast, but it’s not. We love our mothers. Being a parent isn’t easy, but I’d say we turned out well. Few scratches, but we’re good. 


In this episode we chat about:

  • The importance of family
  • Jalile’s experience of being a first - time mom herself and lessons she’s learned from her own mother she can pass down to her daughter and other lessons she won’t
  • What you expose to your kids and the impact it can have on their mental health
  • That time Tamara’s mom broke up with her…
  • Kids who are raised to be victims of society and not having basic survival skills
  • Life lessons we’ve learned from our mothers and how it does set us up for success
  • Effects the relationships with our mothers have on our friendships and romantic relationships
  • Dealing with inherited traumas from our parents
  • The negative stigma our immigrant mother has around therapy and their own children seeking help
  • Teaching our own kids structure and respect
