Amanda and Melissa have a deep conversation about how motherhood can and does but shouldn’t necessarily shape your sense of self. Somehow that leads to a too-deep conversation about how well we as adult women know our own mothers and how our experiences as their children shape how we parent. Head on over to our Patreon because we’ve unlocked a bonus episode on Amanda’s Midwestern accent and AAVE no one should be using— it’s free right now. Like a free trial to entice you to sign up for the Patreon. In this political climate, we’ve all grown tired of the lies so we are big on honesty here. We’re enticing you. Plus, because we gave some shit away to non-patrons and we’re moms and we deeply understand how “that’s not fair, we already paid for that!,” for those of you who are paying customers, you get an *extended* conversation about Meghan Markle’s choice to leave the castle.Want to support Amanda and Melissa,  the strangers behind your favorite new podcast?
