Gals Get Real with Kristin Hocker and Meghan Caponiti

Great friends Kristin and Meghan are pulling back the curtain on mother-daughter dynamics with the conversations we've all been dying to have. When was the last time you wondered who your mom was before she became "Mom"? Or wished you could explain to your mother what dating apps are without the inevitable eyebrow raise? This podcast dives headfirst into today’s generational divide. Meghan and Kristin aren't just talking about what’s different (spoiler alert: everything has changed), but celebrating the beautiful constant: mothers who want their daughters to write their own stories, even when the chapters make them nervous. The magic happens when wisdom flows both ways. These moms aren't dispensing advice from on high anymore, they're soaking up insights from daughters navigating a world they never knew. It's knowledge transformed into wisdom through authentic exchange, proving that the best conversations happen when everyone brings something to the table. Listen as they bridge generations, celebrate female bonding, and demonstrate that the mother-daughter relationship isn't just about surviving the teenage years, it's about evolving into something far more interesting: a friendship between women who happen to share DNA.
