To prepare for that game, I studied my own mother: a brilliant, independent, and courageous woman I admired. With her as my role model, I learned everything from connection and heartbreak to sending kids to overnight camp and the value of reading. As she trusted me to be a fierce warrior for her life and a compassionate advocate for the end of her life, I learned something about her that perhaps only I had the privilege of knowing.In this episode, I recall the lessons I learned from (and about) my mom throughout my life with her. I share who Joyful Toby is and what Sunday mornings were like back in the early 70s. I describe the time I learned the Shema\u2014the prayer for peace\u2014and my responsibility to teach my children so they can teach theirs. I also reveal what I learned about my mother and highlight how grief and love can coexist.\u201cMy mom, who many times over had been called tough, was actually a soft, kind, and complex human who could be vulnerable at the four-way intersection of motherhood, daughterhood, loyalty, and love.\u201d - Karen Goldfinger BakerThis week on the Trauma Hiders Club Podcast:* Meet my mother* Going back home with Joyful Toby* Sunday mornings in the early 70s* Learning the Shema* Things I learned from and about my mother* Where High Achievers Get Through Shit - TOGETHERThanks for tuning into this week\u2019s episode of Trauma Hiders Club \u2018The Podcast\u2019 with Karen Goldfinger Baker.
