This week, Erika and Marcella sit down with Ho-Ho-Kus royalty, Kristin Gildea Fox, fourth-generation Realtor, mother of two, and the definition of beauty with backbone.

In this honest and hilarious conversation, Kristin opens up about growing up in a legacy family business, navigating the intense world of real estate, parenting teenage girls, and redefining success on her own terms.

She shares how losing her father, local icon Chip Gildea, changed her understanding of work, balance, and legacy and why stepping back from the top was actually the most powerful move she’s ever made.

We talk about motherhood, menopause, motivation, and the artichoke theory... how the prickly parts of our personalities protect the soft, beautiful core underneath.

Whether you’re building a business, raising daughters, or just trying to hold it all together, this conversation will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even call your mom.
