Is there a woman alive who hasn't thought deeply about her relationship with her mother? Today's guest, the author, and essayist, Rachel Levey Lesser explores motherhood from every angle: as a daughter coming of age, a parent to teens, and through the lens of her mother's devastating early death. Her most recent book, "Life's Accessories: A Memoir (and Fashion Guide)" explores the totemic power of objects to conjure memory and help us understand life in all its beauty, joy, sorrow, heartache, and hilarious absurdity. Bonus, we talk pandemic baking and Rachel's buzzy new viral baking show garnering praise from the NYT.SHOW NOTES + TRANSCRIPT:acertainagepod.comFOLLOW A CERTAIN AGE:
