About this episode

Melissa Bloom reflects on the passage of time and the bittersweet nature of motherhood in this episode inspired by spring.

Today’s episode started with me thinking about spring and my dogwood tree, and somehow ended up spiraling into an episode about time flying, my boys growing up, and how the goal of motherhood is this beautiful, brutal kind of loss. Basically, I’m trying to soak in every messy, chaotic, ordinary moment -- even the 7:00am lunch-packing madness I swear I’ll miss someday.
