Come To Mama

Welcome! We are Kalimba Bennett Tuck and Karen Valby, best friends for over a quarter century trying to survive this fucked-up world with our joy intact. We are mothers, writers, whiners, and strivers holding space for a weekly sleepover-style, deep, absurd and big-humored conversation with each other, and anyone else who can bear us. So if your own mother isn’t available or can’t offer unconditional ears…COME TO MAMA. If your friends have lost patience with your mess….COME TO MAMA. If you need reassurance that we too are struggling with some of the same crazy thoughts in your head… COME TO MAMA. Want the mama’s thoughts on your drama?

Is there such a thing as dancing out your Daddy issues? Kalimba reports back from a movement therapy studio with a tender review. Maybe there’s room in that dance studio for Karen’s family of four plus five animals, because after 15 years in a rent-stabilized house your Mama needs a new roof over her head. What is more destabilizing than a move? Death! The Mamas and Katherine Heigl are here to lecture and shame and bribe you with Halloween candy to put your estates in order if they aren’t already.
