Motherhood, Grief, and the Moment We Grow Each Other Up

Mother’s Day isn’t always simple—and for many women, it isn’t soft or sentimental. It’s layered. It’s complicated. It’s evolving.

Cynthia unpacks what it means to grieve a mother, become a mother, a grandmother, and—at times—redefine both roles in real time.

A full interview with Cynthia is part of Season 4 of “Record Scratch with Kara” and will air later this summer.

Strategy Coach for High Achieving Women, Cynthia Occelli is the author of RESURRECTING VENUS (Hay House)
