(Part 1) You Are My Lil Friend: Lessons From My Mom on Survival, Sacrifice & Showing Up

What happens when you’re still figuring out who you are, but you already have kids depending on you?

In this episode of the Subjective podcast, Donyelle sits down with her mother for one of the most personal conversations yet, an honest reflection and real story of what it looks like when a mother is still figuring herself out while raising kids at the same time.

They reflect on young motherhood: the fear, the strength, and the survival tactics no one prepares you for. Her mom opens up about telling her family she was pregnant at 16, the relief of having her own mother as a support system, and the constant tension between growing into womanhood while raising children.

She shares moments where she felt unequipped, how community and faith carried her, and the quiet strength it took to show up for her kids every day, even when life behind closed doors was crumbling.Together, they unpack what it meant to “grow up together”.

This isn’t just a story about motherhood; it’s about survival, resilience, and the complicated ways love and strength get passed down from one generation to the next.
