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.

Talk Less, Listen More
🎙 Talk Less, Listen More
🔹 Episode Summary:
Listening—it sounds simple, but it’s one of the hardest things to do, especially between parents and kids. In this episode of I Get It From My Mom, Elissa, Ava, and Maggie get real about why truly listening (without interrupting or rushing to fix things) is so important in their relationships. They break down:
✅ Why parents sometimes give advice when kids just want to vent
✅ How kids can do a better job of actually hearing their parents out
✅ The little signs that show when someone really needs to be listened to
✅ The balance between giving advice and just being present
The trio shares personal stories, a few hard truths, and some much-needed laughs about the messy art of communication. By the end, they even challenge each other (and their listeners!) to be better listeners this week.

🔹 Takeaways & Challenges:
📌 Parents—next time your kid starts talking, ask: “Do you want advice or do you just need to vent?”
📌 Kids—try listening to your parents before immediately saying, “I know” (because sometimes… they’re actually right 🙃).
📌 Everyone—watch for non-verbal cues when someone’s not talking. Silence can say a lot.
