There is not much I share in common with Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch June Shannon. At least, that is what I thought before yesterday. I came across an interview that completely changed my perspective on the reality TV mom. This "a-ha" moment had nothing to do with how much she loves her family (anyone who has watched the show once knows this -- even if you can't imagine bonding with your brood over farting games the way June does). Or her incredibly loving relationship with Sugar Bear. It's both strange and sweet to hear her call him "Smexy." No. What really touched a chord with me was how Mama June felt about herself. There actually is a lesson here for every woman -- curvy or not.![]()
