As we wrap up Season 3, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal community, the incredible guests who enriched our discussions, and above all, the Mommas who unite us each week as we reflect, reminisce, and remember all they did for us.
In this season finale, we are thrilled to welcome two sisters whose life work is a direct reflection of their mother's influence in the kitchen: Sarah Fennel, founder of Broma Bakery and bestselling cookbook author, and her multi-talented sister, Rebecca, founder of Wild Fennel Florals and social media consultant. Together, share a delightful mix of hilarious, mildly inappropriate, and deeply heartfelt stories about their beloved Momma Katherine.
Sarah and Rebecca, who developed a strong bond early on following their parents' divorce during their elementary school years, share how they were each other’s constants as they navigated their new family dynamics. Their incredible Momma Katherine, a caretaker to all, quickly adjusted to life as a single mom, providing unwavering emotional love and support, all while teaching her daughters the importance of compassion for others. Even when finances were tight, Mama Katherine would “give the shirt off her back” to those in need—even if it meant sacrificing her own lunch budget!
From bell pepper drama to the infamous "rug incident", the sisters recount laugh-out-loud memories of their childhood and teenage escapades. Momma Katherine's constant baking filled their home with the comforting aroma of fresh cookies and cakes, instilling in Sarah and Rebecca not only a love for sweets but also a passion for sharing homemade treats. This early exposure to the world of baking laid the foundation for their successful careers centered around the artistry of food.
Join us for this warm and entertaining episode as they reflect on the sacrifices of their remarkable mom, who created a loving home bursting with warmth, freshly baked goodies, and resilience. This finale not only honors their journey but also pays tribute to all the moms out there who inspire us every day.
