Summary

Today is a special, extra-fun episode because Emme and I are literally twinning (matching sets, matching Uggs… the whole thing). And it felt like the perfect day to talk about a theme that keeps popping up in our lives lately: “I’m becoming my mother.” Emme is in her becoming a mother era (baby girl on the way!), and I’m in my becoming a Grammy who knits baby bonnets era… so naturally, this conversation turned into a funny, tender, unexpectedly meaningful reflection on what we inherit, what we emulate, and what we choose to do differently. We talk about: The moment Emme got ready for church and her husband said, “You literally look exactly like your mom.” 😂 How we change as we age—from FOMO to JOMO (the joy of missing out) What it’s like when your home becomes your favorite place to be The beautiful parts of family legacy (and the parts we want to rewrite) Why “becoming your mother” can be a gift… even if your relationship with your mom is complicated The kind of women (and communities) that make you feel seen, cared for, and fed—in every sense of the word We also share some cozy-life favorites at the end: what we’re listening to, what we’re making, what we’re reading, and a few things that are bringing us joy right now. If this episode brings up tenderness for you—whether you’re grateful for your mom, grieving what you didn’t get, or trying to choose a new story for your own family—just know this: you’re allowed to take the good, heal what hurt, and create something beautiful from here. You don’t have to repeat the past unconsciously.You get to choose what you carry forward. 💛 What we wore / style: Matching loungewear set from Aerie  Pants: https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/clothing/loungewear/offline-by-aerie-ott-fleece-super-wide-leg-pant/1703_1248_012?menu=cat1090003&ip=off&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla&utm_content=aerie&utm_campaign=nogender_bottoms_general&utm_term=nonbrand&utm_id=20001158336&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20001158336&gbraid=0AAAAADovoqLjtv7rK5koJ0J2dWjcJGF36&gclid=CjwKCAiAzZ_NBhAEEiwAMtqKy6wNdP7bsMjKrLVZlefMn_ZSRwfY7tpj6mHubROXUWKaVDY4N9DSUBoCFXQQAvD_BwE Sweatshirt: https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/aerie/clearance/clothing/tops/sweatshirts-hoodies/offline-by-aerie-ott-seamed-quarter-zip-sweatshirt/2164_2141_012  Food + kitchen fun: Salt & Straw Ice Cream Cookbook: https://a.co/d/0huVEwqh  Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker: https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/cuisinart-stainless-steel-electric-ice-cream-maker/?catalogId=79&sku=1347889&cm_ven=PLA&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Electrics%20%3E%20Ice%20Cream%20%26%20Gelato%20Makers&cm_ite=1347889_23617611785_aud-946744288042:pla-1418851112821&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23617611785&gbraid=0AAAAADrs9cHz3avoBHkGpnX6Aj0f9Laau&gclid=CjwKCAiAzZ_NBhAEEiwAMtqKy93QoeScTXkSehwqb0J8dmFdtAajk4iEV4dBJdUSpZwIrhC2I48e4RoCzJQQAvD_BwE  Books: How to Get Anything You Want by Elsie Lincoln Benedict (audiobook) https://a.co/d/01VcpoS6  🔗 LINKS & THINGS WE MENTIONED  Learn more about your ad choices.
