    S2E7 - In Honor of Mother’s Day, Be a Guest at Our Galentine’s Day [Live event!]

    Let’s celebrate women, mothers, and the ties that bind us… This touching episode of Kintsugi Conversations was recorded live on Galentine's Day, at an event that hosts Allison and Cindy held for family and friends. Over brunch at an Atlanta venue, they dove into the heartfelt dynamics of mother-daughter relationships, and share it with you as their Mother's Day “gift”! The event captured candid moments and raw emotions, offering listeners a unique and authentic experience. While discussing topics such as aging and dealing with mortality, showing appreciation for loved ones, and the power of flowers and forgiveness, their conversation celebrates the love between mothers and daughters. Cindy talks about her complicated relationship with her late mother, which led to a broader discussion about ensuring meaningful communication with loved ones to avoid regrets.  The show is a poignant reminder about the challenging relationships that shape us and the importance of expressing love, appreciation, and sometimes forgiveness to those who matter most. "We all assume that we have all the time in the world but we don’t. And so we wanted to kind of talk about the importance of giving each other our flowers while we can still smell them." – Allison Did you know?
