  • A Story About My Mother

    A Story About My Mother
    May 14 2023
    Happy Mother’s Day! This story is dedicated to my mother and is about my mother Susan Tan. For the past nine years, I’ve recorded most of our telephone conversations. In 2019, when my mother found herself in her 70s, newly divorced after more than 40 years of marriage and looking for the next love of her life, I started to record more of our conversations. What started as daughter-to-mother exchanges of advice, has turned into an eight-part Audible Original series called “Now or Never: How to Find Love When Love Feels Impossible.” Together, we made this series with the intention to inspire and encourage anyone who has given up on love. Throughout the series, I am my mother’s dating coach. I help her navigate making a dating profile, scammers, ghosters, going on a first date, getting heartbroken — all the ups and downs of love and dating. This is episode one. To listen to the entire series go to audible.com/nowornever. Thank you so much for listening! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
