Figure Skating, Motherhood, and Memoir: Jocelyn Jane Cox's Story {162}

The Rainy Day Collective Podcast

Welcome to another heartfelt episode of The Rainy Day Collective Podcast. I'm your host, Misty, and today we have a truly special conversation lined up for you. Joining us is the talented author Jocelyn Jane Cox, who's here to talk about her forthcoming memoir, "Motion Dazzle." We'll dive into Jocelyn's inspiring journey as a writer, from her MFA in fiction to her poignant experiences with motherhood and loss, including the heart-wrenching day she lost her mother on her son's first birthday.

Together, we explore the often misunderstood world of figure skating and share our thoughts on its portrayal in media. We'll touch on the critical role of sharing authentic stories to build empathy and understanding among women.

Both Jocelyn and I open up about the difficult yet transformative process of caring for a parent with dementia, the profound grief it brings, and the complex emotions woven into these experiences. Whether you’re dealing with similar challenges or simply seeking a bit of empathetic connection, this episode promises to be both enlightening and comforting.

Join us as we celebrate the resilience found in life's toughest moments, the importance of diverse experiences for our children, and the sometimes messy, yet beautiful, journey of parenthood and caregiving.
