Boston Family Vacation '76

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295411/fan_mail/new] In this episode, Eileen recalls a poignant moment between Gen X and younger generations, recognizing that we are all living life for the first time. That no matter our age or season, we are all human. A gift not given to most of Gen X.  We grew up figuring it out for ourselves, fumbling miserably, and fighting for some sense of security, stability, and sanity. Our parents were detached and disappointed in our incredible ineptitude. (But was that necessarily our fault?) Listen for the Boston Family Vacation of 1976 that never was. Offering a glimpse into a childhood littered with insecurity, neglect, and manipulation.  Support the show [https://www.strangerswithkittens.com/contact] Strangers With Kittens is a podcast created by Eileen Kelly and Produced by Ashley Aker.

Hey Mama, You're Doing Great

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295411/fan_mail/new] This one is for the moms. Join Eileen and special guest Audra Socinski while they hash out motherhood. In celebration of Mother's Day, this episode recognizes all the bits of motherhood, including the moments that nearly knock you out. Moms are constantly told to "enjoy it" but if we are being honest, this job is pretty freaking hard to enjoy most of the time. So this year, we are skipping the flowers, the cards, and the macaroni necklaces. This year, we want honest conversations about parenting, and a couple of compliments.   Support the show [https://www.strangerswithkittens.com/contact] Strangers With Kittens is a podcast created by Eileen Kelly and Produced by Ashley Aker.
