Episode 35: Burp the Alphabet, Pass the Caviar
Season 1 Episode 35
Personal growth doesn't have to be perfect—it just needs to be honest. Pam shares the humorous and poignant story of her two vastly different weddings as evidence of her transformation and personal journey.
• Running away at 15 with a boy who became her first husband, living paycheck-to-paycheck and making questionable financial decisions
• Getting married for tax breaks and having a simple courthouse wedding followed by cake at mom's house
• Becoming a single mother after being sent back to Texas on a bus with her young son
• Meeting Tim, her husband of 30 years, and navigating the clash between his high-society background and her country roots
• Having an elegant winter wedding where the cultural differences between families were painfully apparent
• Understanding that shame makes us believe lies about ourselves and recreate chaos because it feels familiar
• Reconnecting with yourself by writing thoughts before bed, taking phoneless walks, speaking truth aloud, and creating quiet time
• Learning that growth doesn't erase your past but shows what it prepared you for
• Discovering that belonging comes from bringing your full authentic self, not from fitting in
