Listen "Mother’s Day, celebrating moms and those that are motherly"
Episode Synopsis
Mother’s Day is a celebration filled with love. But it’s also layered with loss, complexity and transformation. On this episode we explore the origins of Mother’s Day as a moment for peace. And Robin Sweet, a mom and therapist based in Castle Pines, explores the challenges of being a mom and why it’s ok to not always be “perfect.” Then we hear from Cenece Dixon, who knows first-hand the hope and heartbreak of fertility struggles, about her journey to come to terms with not being able to give birth to a child — and choosing to adopt. Plus, Denver resident Melissa Mincic talks about those who are not mothers but motherly. She’s a motherly figure to her friend’s and family’s kids, and even though she does not have children of her own, her heart remains full.RealTalk is hosted by Colorado Public Radio’s Nathan Fernando-Frescas and Denver 7’s Micah Smith.
