👣 Guest Introduction:
Jordan Turbyfill has made a career in craftsmanship, but today he steps into a very different kind of work examining the heart behind our words. Known for his easy humor and quick wit, Jordan admits he’s guilty of tossing out the occasional “yo momma” joke. But what happens when a laugh cuts deeper than intended?
For Jordan, conversations about motherhood carry weight. The raw honesty in NF’s song How Could You Leave Us resonates deeply with himits haunting story of love, loss, and longing for a mother who was physically present but emotionally absent. It’s a reminder that the mother child bond can be a source of comfort or of pain, and that its absence can leave a hole nothing else quite fills. Together, we explore how jokes can become mirrors, revealing both the beauty and brokenness in our relationships, and why missing that connection can feel like the missing piece in life’s puzzle.
💡 Episode Highlights:
The double-edged nature of humor and the jokes we think are harmless.
Why motherhood whether experienced firsthand or longed for is one of life’s greatest gifts.
How NF’s How Could You Leave Us captures the pain of a fractured parental bond.
The lasting impact of losing or never having a healthy mother–child connection.
