Mother’s Day is a celebration filled with love. But it’s also layered with loss, complexity and transformation. On this episode we explore the origins of Mother’s Day as a moment for peace. And Robin Sweet, a mom and therapist based in Castle Pines, explores the challenges of being a mom and why it’s ok to not always be “perfect.”
Then we hear from Cenece Dixon, who knows first-hand the hope and heartbreak of fertility struggles, about her journey to come to terms with not being able to give birth to a child — and choosing to adopt. Plus, Denver resident Melissa Mincic talks about those who are not mothers but motherly. She’s a motherly figure to her friend’s and family’s kids, and even though she does not have children of her own, her heart remains full.
