Suzy Chase is this week's guest on SHLTMM S3E32. A true podcast pioneer, Suzy's first podcast was launched in 2005 and she is currently the host of "Cookery By The Book" podcast. Suzy thanks her mother for her strength, "If I hadn't grown up with that tough mom, that could conquer anything, I never ever would have made the leap of moving to New York City from Kansas." That said, my guest continues, "My mom was the worst."
Dropping out of college at 21 to marry her high school sweetheart, getting divorced with 4 children, having to get a job in the 70's, -that's a lot for anyone, let alone a single woman. Marilyn, Suzy's mom, was an only child born in Jefferson City, MO in 1929. She was raised by her doting parents making sure their beautiful daughter had everything she needed or wanted. My guest recalls "my mom was beautiful as a child . She tapped danced, was a ballerina and a cheerleader, everything her parents wanted in a child."
Though things got tough for Suzy at a young age, the youngest of four children, Marilyn proved herself more than capable of handling most everything on her own. In time, Suzy started to bear the brunt of coming to mom's aid. An older brother's mental illness started taking its toll on the family and Suzy was there to stand by her mother and help her through these crises.
Suzy's message to my listeners is "my mom was the worst." I'm fine, my life is great. So I want people to now that you can come out of of it with a really crappy mom and be fantastic."
Ms. Chase's next podcast venture is "Decorating By The Book."
