In this podcast, I imagined talking with a friend about the intertwined lives of my mother and me. My mother got a divorce when I was little, which, contrary to many people’s expectations, made me really proud of her courage. However, as I grew up, we had a lot of fight over my choices. Being a teen, I always regarded her as the antithesis of my freedom, the biggest obstacle on my quest for freedom, yet I came to realize that just the opposite was true -- I was the antithesis of her freedom, burdening her with motherhood. By sharing our story, I wish to convey that women are free, not bound by any particular identity.
