Replay - My Mama: Ana Tajder and Jagoda Kaloper on Loving Life; Leaving a Mark; Being Your Own Source of Happiness; Ageing Gracefully; Having it All; and Mindfulness
As the first epiosde for our summer 2024 replay, I'd like to share with you episode 17, in which I shared the most important lessons I learned from my mama Jagoda Kaloper. As I just turned 50 and shared with you 50 lessons I've learned in 50 years, I thought it might be interesting to hear which of these I've learned from my own mother.
My incredible mama Jagoda ("strawberry" in Croatian - thus the podcast design) was a celebrated actress and visual artist - but more importantly, she was a big "mensch" and an incredible (yet definitely not perfect) mama. Losing her in 2016 was the reason I started this podcast. I share the most important lessons I've learned from her about: passionately loving life; leaving a mark; being your own source of happiness; ageing gracefully; having it all by taking one step at the time; and being present and connected.
To learn more about Jagoda and her fantastic achievements, please visit her Wiki page.

The Magic of Forgiving: Dr. Erica Elliott on Giving Love; Forgiving your Mom; Finding Joy; and Never Wasting a Bad Experience
Family Medicine doctor and author of “Medicine and Miracles” and “From Mountains to Medicine”, Dr. Erica Elliott, shares the story of her breakdown in her early 20s which, under the guidance of a skilled psychotherapist, lead to finding her true self at this early age. This lead to another breakthrough: Erica found love and forgiveness for her Swiss mom who was a very harsh mother. This changed not only their relationships, but Erica’s parents’ marriage, the dynamics of the whole family, and even the new generations. Erica shares this inspiring story and other deep lessons she learned both from her mom and by herself. Most importantly: the magic of forgiving, that giving love is more satisfying than receiving love, and that you should never waste a bad experience.

Celebrate Every Day: Lara Johnson on Giving Yourself Credit; Showing Up; Forgiving Flaws and Improving with Each Generation; and Following Your Dreams
A mom of four, life coach and host of “Mom on Purpose” podcast, Lara Johnson, talks about the non-profit she co-founded to help young terminally ill parents, and about her work with coaching mothers in which she teaches the most important lesson: to avoid the state of not-enoughness by celebrating your daily small achievements. She tells us about her mom Valerie who had five children but managed to pursue her careers as a nurse, and later a flight-attendant. We learn from Valerie to appreciate previous generations and forgive their flaws and continue improving with each generation; to have a sense of humor; to always show up; to follow your dreams; and most importantly: that being a good mother does not mean being a stay-at-home mom.

Customer Reviews
An insightful feel good podcast
This podcast really inspired me to reflect about my own life as a mother, how I was raised and how I want to be. It's a calming feel good show!
Highly Recommended
I love Ana’s podcast. She has inspiring women she interviews and I always learn some pearls of wisdom, which I highly appreciate considering I lost my mother at a young age. It’s comforting to know there are other women out there in similar situations and it’s lovely to hear some of the lessons I learned from my mom coincide with others. I can highly recommend this podcast whether or not you have or had a positive relationship with your own mother. Must listen!
Wonderful
I love that Ana speaks with women around the world. It is fascinating to hear about different cultural approaches to mothering but especially powerful to hear how daughters of my generation have come to terms with how they were mothered. Totally delightful to hear how these daughters now mother. It is a very loving and beautiful podcast. Honest, hope filled and nourishing! Thank you, Ana for weaving this community that includes me and so many others as a listeners!
