In today's episode, Cailin is joined by her mom, Meghan Bracken, as they discuss a variety of topics centering on healing parent-child relationships and how we can better understand and communicate our needs with our caretakers. Cailin and Meghan discuss the evolution of their own relationship as mother and daughter, and how they navigated their way out of constant contention and into meaningful friendship defined by mutual respect and communication.
Casually compelling conversation topics include: getting curious about our parents as individuals beyond their parenthood, how to approach conversations about therapy and addiction with parents who are resistant to introspection, and staying connected with your parents as you get older. Casual but not nearly as compelling conversations include Meghan sharing Cailin's childhood absurdities and a game of "who knows who better?" to finish off the episode.
