About this episode
This episode explores the challenges and experiences of motherhood through personal stories from the archive.
There’s no easy part of being a mom— from giving birth, to preparing your kids to one day walk out the door. We dug into our archive to find stories about moms bringing their kids into the world, and stories about letting them go. Leave us a voicemail at 702-706-TALK, or email us at podcast@storycorps.org .
