This week, we’re sharing a podcast Tig recently guested on: Pop Culture Moms, all about what we can learn from the TV and movie moms we love most. Andie and Sabrina have been best friends for 20 years — and pop culture aficionados for even longer. Together they’re exploring the comedy – and tragedy – of what parenthood is like in real life. In the episode, Tig talks about processing the death of her mom through her show One Mississippi, what it’s like to raise twins, and the humor she finds in parenting.
