In this episode of Between Us Mother Daughter Unfiltered, Zeynep and Tara Khaleesi go from laughter to life lessons in their signature unfiltered style.

The mother daughter duo dives into how to spot emotional manipulation, protect your peace, and set boundaries that actually work.

Introducing "Boundary Firewall" Zeynep's ongoing segment on boundaries, Zeynep covers five rules that teach how to recognize manipulation and guard your emotional safety.

Tara Khaleesi brings the Gen Alpha perspective, breaking down down why the phrase "They're just jealous" misses the mark and what kids really need to hear from adults instead.

They also reveal how hormones, emotions, and self awareness intertwine, ADHD brain moments included, and still manage to make it funny, relatable, and valuable at the same time.

Highlights:

• The four month mural transformation that taught as much about persistence, patience, and awareness as it did about art.
• Boundary Firewall, Zeynep's new ongoing segment begins here, with 5 rules for spotting manipulation and protecting your peace.
• "Just because somebody says they love me, doesn't mean I have to keep giving them access to me."
• "Watch actions, not words"
• The question every adult should start asking "Do you want help processing this, or do you just need me to listen?"
• Gen Alpha Word Of The Week: HUZZ and did we just announce ours on air?

It's part humor, part hard truth, and all real talk; the way only Between Us Mother Daughter Unfiltered can do it.

Zeynep and Tara Khaleesi are back! In this episode of Between Us: Mother–Daughter Unfiltered, they retire "cringe." they "trick their brains" and tell you how; and read your DMs about "red flag friendships" - out loud!

This Gen Alpha daughter and her Xennial Mom share how to stop letting "cringe" break connection between parents and kids; how to stay disciplined when motivation ghosts you and how to recognize red flags hiding in plain sight before they hurt you.

It's part hilarious, part honest therapy session between generations. Honest, funny, and deeply relatable. The kind of conversations families everywhere are finally ready to have.

Don't miss this one, especially when they talk about their Halloween photo shoot, where they almost drowned...

Welcome to the debut of Between Us: Mother Daughter Unfiltered! A Xennial Mom: Zeynep - immigrant, survivor, cycle breaker, designer and the founder of the custom boot brand: Zeyzani; and a Gen Alpha Daughter: Tara Khaleesi - witty, emotionally intelligent beyond her years, and never shy about saying what's on her mind. Together they pull back the curtain on real life; no sugarcoating, no Pinterest perfect edits.

In this debut episode, Zeynep and Tara Khaleesi share the 5 life rules that have shaped their family with their signature banter and laughs woven in.

1- Be Kind

2- Grow A Pair (aka be brave)

3- Suck It Up (feel it, then chin up and move on)

4- Give It Your All

5- Own It

They also dive into the red flags that show up in friendships way before dating ever starts; and why those early dynamics matter.

Tara Khaleesi schools Mom on Gen Alpha slang with two must know terms: rage baiting and crashing out. Somewhere in the middle, she even drops a genius "3D Glasses" metaphor about balancing mom vs best friend (unscripted, totally floored us)!
