Episode Synopsis

Happy April! To commemorate the new month, we're putting a nice, finishing bow on March.  For Women's History Month, I thought I'd interview the one woman with whom I have the most history and the one woman who has EVERYTHING to do with my history.... my Mom! As a woman who is myself at a career crossroads currently, it was refreshing and informative to walk my Mom through the timeline of her own career.  We discussed challenges and changes in her field, and I even learned a healthy handful of things I never knew before.  Its a long conversation- which was great, as my Mom was a very reluctant and very apprehensive guest.  But as you'll hear, once she gets comfortable she relays some very wonderful and interesting anecdotes.  Also in this episode, an original composition by me (music and lyrics) as well as my takes on George Floyd's murder in light of the beginnings of Derek Chauvin's trial. Stick a pin in this, as this episode will temporarily conclude my "interviewing my immediate family for my first few podcast episodes" series; I will be venturing outside of my fam for my interview with my next guest!
