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.

Likes, Filters & FOMO: What Social Media Is Really Doing to Our Kids
Episode Summary:
Social media has become more than just apps and scrolling—it's where kids form their identities, build friendships, and (sometimes) lose their sense of self. In this episode of I Get It From My Mom, Elissa, Ava, and Maggie dig into the real impact platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and even Threads have on tweens and teens.
Inspired by the Netflix documentary Adolescence, this candid conversation covers:
✅ When kids should get social media and how parents can prepare them
✅ Why likes, comments, and views can feel like self-worth
✅ How filters and comparison culture distort reality (even for adults)
✅ What cyberbullying can look like today and how to talk about it
✅ How to build real friendships in a world that feels curated
Whether you're raising kids in this digital era or trying to understand your own screen habits, this episode is packed with stories, perspectives, and some honest reflections—no filters included.
Takeaways & Challenges:
📌 Normalize open conversations about what kids are seeing and feeling online
📌 Help teens understand the difference between “real life” and the highlight reel
📌 Encourage mindful posting, boundary-setting, and digital detoxes
📌 Remind them—and yourself—that likes ≠ love
