Bitter Brown Femmes

This is not about Lana del Rey. We named the episode before she went apeshit and couldn't come up with a better title in time lol. This episode is about our relationships with our mothers, familial trauma, and how we're working to break these cycles of abuse for future generations.   Now more than ever we'd really appreciate your support on Patreon.
