Get To Know Your Mother with Jennifer Griffith
Jennifer Griffith, author of the deeply moving memoir Both Sides of Then: Finding Love After Abandonment and the host of the popular podcast About Your Mother, which explores the complex dynamics of motherhood, family, and generational trauma. Jennifer's unique perspective comes from her own experience growing up with a mother whose past shaped their relationship in ways she couldn’t fully understand. Through Jennifer's exploration of her mother’s life, she reflects on how trauma can echo through generations, influencing how we relate to ourselves and our families. I really enjoyed our conversation about how everyone's story matters, the impact that your story can have on others, and how our past shapes our future!

Betsy Armstrong, whose memoir, The Mother of All Decisions: A Memoir of Mother Loss, Legacy and Adopting Kids in Midlife, is a story of resilience, hope, and defying the odds. Betsy’s journey began with losing her mother, home, and family at a young age. After years of avoiding the question of legacy, her mother’s death at 46 made her confront what truly mattered. Overcoming grief, Betsy transformed her life, running marathons and quitting a corporate job to live with purpose. Then, at nearly 47, she decided to become a mother through adoption, facing a failed adoption, a Russian courtroom drama, and a medical crisis along the way. Betsy’s story is one of triumph, perseverance, and making the impossible possible!
