Every so often, a conversation unfolds that wraps you in a warm embrace of nostalgia and heartfelt emotion—this episode is just that. I have the absolute joy of welcoming my mom, Miss Tawnya Wright, to share the tapestry of memories that motherhood has woven in her life. She doesn't hold back as she recounts the vivid and emotional tale of my entrance into the world in a military hospital, and we both get candid about the quickfire start to our family life. With laughter and a few tears, we unpack the highs and lows that have shaped our mother-son bond.

The banter picks up as we revisit the glory days of youth sports, reminiscing about everything from quirky nicknames to the vanishing tradition of personalized gear. Mom shares insights as a team mom, and I reflect on the profound impact of fatherly coaching. Our exchange is a testament to the invaluable role parents play in shaping childhood experiences. We also touch on that inevitable moment when children take flight, and the solace modern technology offers in keeping our hearts connected across any distance.

Wrapping up, our chatter takes a lighter turn as we groove through music preferences and share a chuckle over our favorite reality TV escapades, from 'Survivor' to 'Farmer Wants a Wife'.

Tune in for a soul-stirring blend of memories, laughter, and the beautiful complexity of family ties.
