Get ready to celebrate the women who raised us, because it's Mother's Day, baby! But let's be real, motherhood isn't all sunshine and rainbows. We've all had our fair share of uncooked macaroni art and Tabasco omelets, am I right? Well, Melissa knows all about it, and she and Susie are joined by the cofounder of Modern Prairie, Nicole Haase, to reminisce about past Mother's Days and share some hilarious stories.
We're also talking about the value of self-care and finding fulfillment in our own passions. Because let's face it, we can't pour from an empty cup, ladies! We also acknowledge that Mother's Day isn't just about our biological moms, but also the amazing mother figures in our lives, like grandmas, aunts, and stepmom.
In this episode:
- Find out exactly what Melissa, Susie, and Nicole would do on Mother’s Day if they had the choice (psst… it’s not what you think! Or maybe it is….)
- Learn about the time Susie was “extra thrifty” with her Mother’s Day shopping
- Dig into why it’s important for women to use their voices, feel heard, and surround themselves with supportive people who validate them and allow them to express themselves
So grab a mimosa and join us as we celebrate motherhood, acknowledge the challenges, and highlight the importance of self-care and self-love.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
