This season always pulls me back to the voices and moments that shaped me most. This week, we’re bringing back a special conversation from a couple of years ago, one that feels especially meaningful during the holidays. It’s a visit inside my Grandma Vee’s home in western Pennsylvania, where three generations sat down to talk about life: my grandmother, my mom Terri, and me.What unfolds is a warm, funny, deeply personal look at family stories, the lessons that stay with us, and the unexpected moments that help us understand who we are. My grandma talks about building a life from scratch, raising kids in a one-bedroom house, finding her own strength after loss, and the quiet bargains she made with herself to stay grounded.From coal-mining memories to the quiet strength of a 95-year-old woman reflecting on love, loss, and presence, this episode is all heart.What You’ll Hear:Growing up in a coal-mining town and the resilience it built (06:54)How a young couple built their home, literally, board by board (10:25)Motherhood across three generations (16:07)The stories that reveal who we become (23:09)Grief, strength, and learning to stand on your own (54:16)Tune in to hear how our generational past impacts our present lives.
