  What She Taught Me: Talking with Sonni Abatta

  Aug 13, 202620 min

  In this episode of What She Taught Me by Go Long, Jill Consor Beck talks to Sonni Abatta, author of 'News for Normies', and host of the 'We Gotta Talk' podcast. Sonni credits her mother's gratitude, relentless work ethic, and growth mindset for shaping who she is today. On dinner breaks from her news anchor job, Sonni would rush home to nurse her baby to sleep before heading back to the newsroom — until her mother, watching her run herself into the ground, told her flatly one night: "Quit your job." We get into what she's doing to unlearn the instinct of "always being busy" and the need to keep filling every open moment instead of allowing time to recharge.

  What She Taught Me: Talking with Danielle Hughes

  Jul 29, 202620 min

  In this episode of What She Taught Me by Go Long, Jill Consor Beck talks to Danielle Hughes about how her mother's discipline and go-getterness shaped her into the reliable one. Danielle opens up about watching her mom finish a degree over twelve years, working nights and days to put herself through school while carrying the emotional load of the house alone. She talks about what she's had to unlearn as a business owner and single mom — that you don't have to do everything yourself — and how her mother, after 30 years of marriage, left her dad without telling a soul beforehand, not even her own sister. Tune in to hear what it took for Danielle to unlearn that pattern herself.Resources mentioned:• Blog — https://www.morethanwordscopy.com/blogMore about Danielle:• Website — https://www.morethanwordscopy.com/• LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellehughes/More about Jill & Go Long:• Sign-up for Go Long's newsletter — https://golong.substack.com/subscribe• Learn more about Go Long — https://www.golong.me/how-it-works• Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/justgolong/• Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/justgolong• LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/go-long/**Jump to:**00:00 Intro: Danielle and Jill's Connection02:06 Mom's Strict Parenting and the Disciplinarian Model04:49 What Her Mom Carried Unacknowledged08:16 Did Her Mom Ask for Help?09:49 The Hidden Divorce: No Confiding, Even in Friends11:47 Longest Thing to Unlearn: Doing It All Alone13:29 The Fix-It Girl Pattern16:11 Mom's Fitness at 77 vs. Dad's Passivity17:57 Divide-and-Conquer on Parent Care
