In this first episode, I tell the story behind how I became a mother—twice.Not in the way most people do.This is a story that spans five generations, starting with my grandparents who were foster parents, to me becoming a mother to Faith, a medically fragile baby girl who would one day call me Mama. And then, years later, her baby—Rosie—who would call me Mama too.I talk about what it means to love someone you can’t save, how addiction and grief shaped my motherhood, and how my past with Faith helped prepare me for Rosie’s diagnosis with Dravet syndrome.It’s a story of G-tubes, grief, foster care, genetic testing, and getting on a plane with nothing but an empty suitcase and an open heart.This is for the women who became mothers in unexpected ways.This is for the ones who kept showing up, even while breaking.This is for the children who needed us—and the versions of ourselves we became for them.
