I am a Mom (with Anne, aka Angeleaza's mom!)

I am a Mom (with Anne, aka Angeleaza's mom!)

In this super special (and slightly belated!) Mother's Day episode of What Are You? [https://www.whatareyoupod.com], I (Angeleaza) got to sit down with Anne, my amazing mom! Together we dive into her incredible identity journey, from her tomboy childhood to raising 4-6 children, to working as a school counselor, and living out her beautiful faith. We chat about motherhood, identity, Catholicism, and what it’s like to let go as kids grow up. It’s heartfelt, honest, and totally wholesome...just like my mom.💕 Don't forget to grab your tissues (like I did for this recording...whoops!) and make sure to call your mom later; this ep is a must-listen!

I am a lifelong learner with a broken arm (with Emma!)

Today's episode is a What Are You? classic episode + Roman Empire-bonus episode fusion! Emma is a font of knowledge and wisdom, a true confident queen, and the KINDEST person. In today's episode, we discuss the reasons for her identity as "a lifelong learner with a broken arm" (topics that are oddly related). Simultaneously, we do a DEEP dive on the evolution of identity at large, aka her hyperfixation of the moment. If you missed having a new episode in your feed last week, do not fret! Today's episode is extra-long to make up for the lost time😘 Emma and I could talk for hours...and we did!
