Happy Mother's Day! Sending some extra love today to all the extraordinary mothers out there!
And speaking of extraordinary mothers....
This week, Katie interviews her sisters-in law, Lori Wolfson and Andrea Wachter, about their mother, Bernice Wachter.
Bernice raised her kids in quintessential “Mama Bear" mode, striking the perfect balance between giving guidance and granting independence. She gave her children the room to make their own mistakes, but still pushed them to do what she sensed was right.
And through all the ups and downs, Bernice has never lost her wonderful sense of humor!
