Summary

On this episode… more mothers.. A few days ago, we aired an episode of the Moth Radio Hour called “Mama Bears” - where we shared some stories about the archetype of protective mothers. But, for Mother’s Day, we’re expanding that category… with stories about how being a mom, and having a mom, can be a lot. This episode is hosted by Jenifer Hixson. Storytellers: Melanie Kostrzewa learns some lessons about motherhood from her neighborhood ice cream man. Marie Dennehy deals with a mother undergoing mental health issues. Marya Morris is in over her head as a new stay-at-home stepmom.
