LESSONS FROM MY MOTHER

IN THIS EPISODE…

This week, Rebecca has a chat with her mom about how being in a different generation changed her view of her role as a farmer’s wife. They also discuss how they’ve navigated the intimacy of living so close together. (literally, 110 steps door to door)

Many of us are in small towns because of a family connection. While living near family brings countless blessings, it can also create a ton of challenges.

Boundaries get crossed, feelings get hurt, and it can be common to feel as though you’re constantly “in the shadow” of your parents when there is very little physical separation between you.

Open communication, setting clear expectations and brutal honesty are a few of the things that can help even when there are significant personality and generational differences.
