In this heartwarming episode, we celebrate the incredible life and legacy of Grandma Helen — a woman who became my grandmother through my mom’s remarriage and made me feel loved and embraced from the very start. As the community’s “Hidden Hero” and a “Mother of the Year” honoree, her faith, warmth, and wisdom have shaped generations.
We laugh through her mischievous childhood stories, reflect on the values instilled by her own parents, and dive into how she raised a large family across five decades — balancing motherhood, a nursing career, and life’s unexpected turns. She opens up about love, loss, joy, and why she still feels she’s been given the best life — even after hard times.
From adventurous memories to advice on marriage and parenting, Grandma Helen shares the secrets to staying strong, staying kind, and keeping a big, spread-out family connected. Get ready for humor, life lessons, and the kind of warmth only a grandmother can give.
