This is the final episode of Season 1 of the Bad Mothers podcast. I want to thank everyone for listening and engaging with the show over the past six months, and for supporting this endeavour. I specially want to thank my guests who generously shared themselves and their experiences with all of us.
For this last episode, I decided to bring my sister Gina back, from Episode 1, to interview me. Since my guests shared so many personal insights about their estrangement journeys, I thought it was only fair that I answer some tough questions, too. She also included some questions that were submitted by listeners and others from Together Estranged (an organisation you can learn more about in Episode 8).
Thank you Gina for being game for my random ideas, as always!
I hope you enjoy this episode, and I look forward to returning later in the year with a new concept under the Bad Mothers umbrella!
