Tonight OWN has added a new show to their lineup with little warning! Although it was technically a Discovery Health show, we are always open to see what OWN is plating up for us. My Mom Is Obsessed is the newest docu-series for the Oprah Winfrey Network. Over a series of six episodes, viewers get a heart-warming and at times crazy look at the lives and relationships of mothers and their teenage daughters who push the envelope on ordinary.
These aren’t you average moms at all. Many of them are totally obsessed with something or another. Whether it is plastic surgery, shopping, weight or partying, their relationships are taking a hit and the daughters have had enough. Turning to the show for help, they are teamed with professionals who try to help them work through their issues. Hopefully by the end of the show, these mothers and daughters will be back on track and in a healthy place in their relationships.
Want an idea of what the show is like? Here is a clip about a mom’s obsession with plastic surgery. Let us know what you think.
No matter how shocking some of these episodes may be…it is almost certain that these are not the only women with the same obsessions. Hopefully the show will be able to help and give hope to moms and daughters and families all over the world. Be sure to tune in tonight, May 4th at 9/8C…only on OWN!

Inspiration is quite possibly the greatest gift that we can give to our children. The ability to inspire creativity, enthusiasm and hope into someone who later will go on to breathe the same into others. It can come in any form…something you witness, a book, music, blogs, photos, nature, art…but when asked most people will tell you their inspiration comes from people and usually that person is their own mother. In the Oprah Winfrey Network’s Documentary “Extraordinary Moms”, Julia Roberts introduced six mothers that have breathed inspiration not only into their children, but into countless others. Whether famous or not, each mother knew just how important it was to inspire themselves and others.
The show began with Christiane Amanpour, news anchor, well known war correspondent and mother. When trouble broke-out around the world, there always seemed to be a common thread….Amanpour was there. She became our trusted source that brought the world home to us. However, once she had her son, her life changed. Although she loved being a world correspondent, she loved being a mother more. She quickly learned that once you become a mom, all bets are off. Christiane recognized “if you are lucky, you can have it all, but I still don’t believe you can have it all at the same time…something has to give”. For her this meant becoming more careful about her selections in the field and the level of danger she was willing to face. Growing up, her parents always encouraged her to dream big…that a woman can do anything! They allowed her to be her own person…something she believed was important to pass on to her son. Standing in a room full of accolades, Christiane boasts that her proudest achievement was being a mother…”not that I would have known that before” becoming a mom.
