Our most-listened-to episode returns — plus a brand-new update with Danica LaPorte on mother-daughter relationships, and a first look at what's next.

Somewhere between the toddler years and the grown-up years, most of us stop being just "mom" and "daughter" — and have to figure out who we are to each other now. That in-between space is where today's episode lives, and it's no accident it's the most-listened-to conversation in Mom2Mom Mentoring history.

Danica LaPorte joins Misty for an honest look at what makes mother-daughter relationships genuinely healthy — not performed, not strained into politeness, but real. Danica names something a lot of adult daughters feel and rarely say out loud: the quiet weight of still wanting to meet a parent's expectations, even fully grown. Misty and Danica talk through boundaries, communication, and what it actually takes to build a relationship that can hold the truth.

And because so much has changed since this conversation first aired, Misty brought Danica back for a fresh update. They talk about what it looks like to be the one who reaches out first, how to stay connected across real physical distance, and how Danica has learned to apologize to her own kids in the moment rather than letting hurt sit unaddressed. It's a beautiful, practical follow-up to a conversation so many listeners have carried with them.

Stick around to the very end — Misty has something new to share about what's coming next for this podcast.
