In this episode, I ask my mom 20 questions about her childhood, insecurities, and all the weird family stuff we’ve somehow collected over the years. She shares stories I’ve never heard before, and we end up bouncing between serious moments and the kind of chaotic memories that make you go “wait… that actually happened?”

We also get into a couple of our own stories, like a wedding blackout and a magician situation that still doesn’t make sense.

In this episode, I sit down with my mom to compare what life looked like in our 20s—and let’s just say, they couldn’t be more different.

Her 20s were steady, simple, and structured. Mine? A mix of multiple careers, 10 different moves, evolving relationships, and what can only be described as a lot of reinvention.

We talk about how life has changed across generations, why stability looked so different back then, and what it feels like trying to build a life today when everything seems constantly in motion.

This one is part comedy, part real conversation, and part reflection on how two people from the same family can experience life in completely different ways at the same age.

In this episode, a millennial daughter and her baby boomer mom sit down for cocktails and end up unpacking everything from dating apps and Disney first dates to growing up in Jersey, moving to Florida, and the very different ways they’ve experienced love, chaos, and starting over.

They swap stories about 80s nostalgia, relationships that changed them, and what it really looks like to rebuild your life at any age. From wild dating experiences to honest reflections on trauma, growth, and independence, nothing is off limits.

It’s funny, unfiltered, and surprisingly deep—two generations comparing how they’ve navigated love, life, and everything in between… one cocktail at a time.

Welcome to Cocktails With My Mom — where a millennial daughter and baby boomer mom sit down with cocktails and talk about literally everything. Hosted by Justine and Lisa Rodes, we share funny stories, compare generations, talk mental health, give advice, and have the kinds of conversations you’d normally hear at the kitchen table after a couple of drinks. 

It’s honest, funny, chaotic at times, and proof that no matter the generation, we’re all figuring life out as we go. Grab a cocktail and come hang out with us.
