This is Girl on Guy

Hey everybody welcome to Girl on Guy 220 welcome to the show. This is a very special

Thanksgiving episode of Girl on Guy and

And whether you are feeling deeply thankful

for all of your blessings at this time of year or while be panicked about the future of our country

This is the place for you because this is going to be a show where I

Get to talk to somebody very special to me and I hope as you are moving through your holiday season

You speak to the people very close and important to you your family this episode is with my mom

I did an episode with my father years ago

I think maybe season one and I always intended to do this one wanted to give the shows a little bit of distance from each other

But finally got to sit down with my mom and talk with her. She's had an extraordinary life

She's still living it in the most vivacious and vigorous way and

She's just had so many incredible experiences and I think

Especially at a time like this where you may be separated from family members by

I don't know ideology

Geography experience age

You may be feeling distanced from certain people in your family for various reasons one of the most important and interesting things to do is to try to find a way

to better understand and

empathize with the people who

Came before you cared for you or grew up next to you whether it's a parent and uncle a sibling whatever

You know the holidays can be so conflict driven so much about resenting having to go back and do something with people that you

Get along with sometimes not all of the time maybe the conflict is heightened at the holidays
