🎙️ Episode 15: Two Moms - Marie and Julia - [Dec 1, 1942]
It's an emotional weekend as Mattie deals with her mom and Matt's mom, who both think they're dying. Only one is correct.
It was a difficult and beautiful weekend for Mattie - dominated by her mom, Julia, demanding attention, and Matt's mom, Marie, dying. Navigating both women, and her feelings, lets us into her inner world as a sandwich generation daughter and mom - worried, caregiving, and trying to be present with both the generations above and behind her.
Plus, Aldo Stenberg, Mattie's older sister's husband, is at it again. He's making trouble for his younger brother, and trying to figure out how to keep money away from his stepmother - neither of which sit well with Mattie.
And Bud is hanging out of airplanes. Literally.
