Of Lessons, Books, and Seasons: Why Thank You, Mama Is Moving to a Seasonal Format
Since launching Thank You, Mama on International Women’s Day 2020, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with extraordinary women from around the world—artists and scientists, CEOs and stay-at-home moms, bestselling authors, pop stars, retirees, and entrepreneurs—about their mothers, their legacies, and the lessons that shape who we become. Across 183 episodes, these conversations have shared deeply personal stories and hard-won wisdom, revealing how universal our experiences are as women, daughters, and sometimes mothers. They’ve reminded me that being a woman means belonging to a global sisterhood—one we too often forget to draw strength from—and they’ve changed me profoundly, making me more grounded, grateful, and connected. That growing treasure chest of maternal wisdom has made it clear that it’s time to begin work on the Thank You, Mama book, which will gather and share these lessons from mothers around the world. Writing it requires time, reflection, and the same care that has always guided the podcast. To make space for that work while continuing the show sustainably, Thank You, Mama will move to a seasonal format, with episodes released in two seasons each year—spring and fall—separated by intentional breaks. This shift allows the podcast and book to inform one another while keeping the conversations thoughtful and meaningful. Thank you, dear listeners, for being part of this journey and community. The next season of Thank You, Mama will launch later this spring, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Subscribe to Ana's new "Mama Loves…” newsletter .
