In this episode with my mom, Cindy, we talk about all things parenting vs. grandparenting, the best parts about being a grandparent versus the hardest parts, and how my mom and dad prioritized having a close-knit family when we were growing up. We discuss how my parents approached transparency around alcohol in our house, why my decision to stop drinking scared her at first, and how she passed down the “that’s my sister” dynamic to my sisters and me. She also shares what the transition was like from being very career-driven to being a stay-at-home mom, where her style and fashion sensibility comes from, and how her fashion brain works when she’s putting together an outfit. Finally, we talk about my own evolving fashion journey, my wanting to dress a certain way to appease her, and why she feels so grateful for where she is in her life right now.
