I Get It From My Mom: Authentic Conversations Between a Mother and Her Daughters on Parenting and Growing Up
Parenting is hard. Being a teenager is hard. And understanding each other? Even harder. In I Get It From My Mom, Elissa (a working mom) and her teenage daughters Ava and Maggie get real about the conversations parents and children need to have—whether it’s about listening, rules, respect, friendships, or just surviving the generational divide. They're not experts. They don’t have all the answers. But they do have a lot of perspective—and a little bit of humor.
Whether you’re a parent trying to connect with your children or children trying to make sense of your parents, this podcast is here to help you open up, understand each other, and maybe even laugh along the way. New episodes every Tuesday! Follow/subscribe/share now to start the conversation.
