Summary
In this deeply personal episode, Lisa sits down with her mam to continue an honest, heart‑warming conversation about her decades‑long nursing career and the parallel journey of motherhood. Together, they explore the realities of shift work, the transition from hospital wards to community nursing, and the unexpected joy and balance that came with it. As her mum shares, “When I entered community… it just brought me alive. It just changed my life entirely.” The episode moves through stories of raising children while navigating demanding schedules, the guilt many mothers feel, and the reassurance that love — not perfection — is what truly shapes a childhood. Lisa reflects on her own upbringing, saying she always felt supported and never missed out, even during the busiest seasons. Listeners are invited into powerful moments from her mum’s work in women’s health, family planning, and sexual health — including the emotional weight of supporting young women through difficult decisions. Her mum explains the importance of choice with compassion and clarity: “The positivity is that you have a choice.” The episode also touches on resilience: studying for a degree at 56, working full‑time, caring for family, and still showing up with heart. It’s a testament to reinvention at any age, the strength of women, and the legacy of kindness passed from one generation to the next. This is an episode full of laughter, honesty, and the kind of mother‑daughter love that feels like home. Warning - themes of pregnancy termination discussed,
