In this episode, Addison, Mark, and I sit down to discuss a situation that occurred and how Addison took action to create JOY for herself.

We can either sit and wallow in our sorrow and sadness or we can do something about it.  It isn't always cut and dry but there is always something we can do to create JOY at the moment.

Addison stepped out of her comfort zone and TOOK ACTION to create JOY for herself in a disappointing situation.

Every year around Mother’s Day, the United States encourages us to honor mothers despite the lack of institutional support provided via child care, maternity leave, and prenatal healthcare. What about those who have complicated relationships with their moms? How do we feel when Mother's Day rolls around?!?

We hope you enjoy our stories and this convo offers insight into your own relationships!

Sonia Levitin was born to a Jewish family in Berlin in 1934, just as Germany was entering its darkest period in history. With Hitler tightening his grip on the country, Sonia's mother, Helene Goldstein Wolff, plotted their escape. 

In 1938, Helene fled with her children first to Switzerland, then America. Helene instilled in her daughters a sense of dignity and the courage to persevere—lessons that have lasted a lifetime. 

As her aging mother developed dementia, Sonia became her caretaker, repaying the tender kindness and loving protection Helene brought to Sonia’s own childhood. Helene died in 1993, and Sonia would give anything to tell her mother just how much she loved and appreciated her, one final time. 

In this week’s episode, Sonia tells Katie about her early life in Berlin, the family's escape to Switzerland, and the deep love she and her mother shared for each other.

Journey to America, Sonia's fictional account of the family's escape from Germany,  is both beautiful and harrowing. Sonia Levitin's website can be found here.
