Mango Publishing Author Panel: Every Aspect of Mother's Day

Mother's Day is right around the corner. Although Hallmark makes it look sweet and simple, this is one day that sure can bring up a lot of complex emotions and layers of feelings.
Maybe we love our mom so much, but we miss her because she lives far away or has passed away? Maybe we feel unspoken anger or resentment toward our mom? Maybe our own mother was absent and we celebrate a mother figure in our life? Maybe we are a parent ourselves and feel shame or guilt around the way we've mothered? Maybe we regret that we never had children - or that we did? Maybe we grieve the children we weren't able to have or that miscarried or passed away?
These are just a few examples of how complicated Mother's Day can be.
No doubt about it, the topic of moms and motherhood contains a whole spectrum of human emotions. Maybe all of them at once!
What do we do to help ourselves navigate the myriad emotions and complexities on a day that is usually presented as all flowers and chocolate?
How do we create space within ourselves and in community to share ALL aspects of motherhood?
Our Mango authors can help!
Watch this replay of a Mango Publishing Author Panel where discussed many aspects of Mother's Day - and doing it all with lots of permission, compassion, wisdom, and heart.
Our guest authors, Karen C.L. Anderson ("You Are Not Your Mother") and Angela LoMenzo (“Wisdom of Wildly Creative Women,”) shared stories and practical ideas about emotional traumas of all kinds. (LOTS of practical advice for navigating the hard stuff!!)
Mango Publisher, Brenda Knight, also joined us on the panel!
The panel was facilitated by Sherry Richert Belul (“Say it Now.”)
Mango Author Panels are a great way to get a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing world and what goes on in authors' heads. They are always interactive, often intriguing, and especially warm and inspiring.
