There's a lot that's still lingering for the Pearson family...and in this episode we dive into Kate, Kevin, and Randall's past to uncover what's eating away at them. From the kids battling chickenpox to the Pearsons confronting deeper issues like identity, racism, and generational differences, this episode had A LOT to cover. We discuss Kate’s pregnancy secret, Kevin’s fight to rise above his injury, and Randall piecing together how his race shaped his family dynamic. Plus, Rebecca’s complicated relationship with her mother takes center stage, leading Mandy, Sterling, and Chris to share their thoughts on complicated parent/child relationships and the delicacy of figuring out how to impart lessons onto children of their own. We’ll also share a heartfelt message from a listener who connected with the show through her work in the foster care system. That Was Us is produced by Rabbit Grin Productions.

Gang, how we doing today?
Hello, friends.
How's it going? Hi. I'm having a cookie. Chris is eating a cookie and having the time of his life. He living his best life. This season has been fun. It's like I'm rediscovering. I know everything that happens in the end game, but I think because the later seasons are probably fresher in my head, going back through and watching it, it's kind of like, oh, snap. That happened.
I feel like seasons two, three, and four are gonna have the most, like, obviously, because they were so long ago, they're gonna have, like, the most revealing information for us as viewers re-watching it. I think you're right. Because one is ingrained in, like, just the deep recesses of my brain, and obviously the later seasons, because they're just so much closer.
Yeah.
