In which we discuss mental health, SSRIs, some things that sometimes help, and things we are pissed off at about mental health and just in general.

In which we talk about what adulting looks like. Now with new better sound! Except you actually can't hear me that well on this one, because we are still getting used to the new mikes. But at least there are no crackles and pops, so that's good.

In which we crankily discuss all the ways you can self-help yourself. And Esse invites me to never bring home any more self help books again.

In which we talk about what we want to be when we grow up. I suggest that 19 years old is still plenty of time to follow your dreams. And I argue that 43 is also not over the hill and there's still plenty of time to follow your dreams. Esse concurs. Basically, you can always follow your dreams until you're dead.

In which we discuss the question of whether or not a mother and daughter can actually be friends.

In which we discuss growing up in two households, or four if you want to be pedantic about it. Guest appearance: Milo, the irascible boy-cat!

In which we attempt to discuss dating mores of the day and the olden times - i.e. 25 years ago - while I struggle not to cry about the state of the United States and the thing we thought we would never see in our lifetimes.

In which we discuss the glory and the story of the Mother Daughter argument. Inspired by actual events.

In which we discuss the millennial and gen X generations: our differences, similarities, stereotypes. Esse has a lot to say about millennials, and apparently I have a lot of gripes with Boomers. Nothing gets resolved, big surprise. Music recommendation: Sigrid. Book Recommendation: Georgia O'Keefe: Living Modern.

In which we attempt to discuss great daughters from history and celebrity and have a hard time figuring out what that even means....so that's interesting. Sidebar into the history of the ERA, and where it's at now. Also, book and music recommendations.

In which we talk about the ways in which our mother/daughter unit was influenced by the Gilmore Girls television show, and then discuss a number of real and fictional mothers who inspire and amaze us. Includes a substantial sidebar into bummer things that you have to discuss with your daughter when she hits puberty even though they suck and are unfair.

In which we, (Emer Pond Feeney (the mother) and Esse Luna Maple (the daughter) introduce ourselves and discuss our reasons for doing a podcast about mothers and daughters together, and then read our lists of some of the mother/daughter stuff and hot topics we will discuss in upcoming episodes. Then we share some mother/daughter memories. Join us.
