Episode 8: Maggie's Sweet 16: Navigating Babyhood, Childhood, Teen Years, and What’s Next

In this very special episode of I Get It From My Mom, we’re celebrating Maggie’s Sweet 16—with lots of laughs and memories.

Elissa, Ava, and Maggie take a heartfelt (and hilarious) walk down memory lane, from Maggie’s early baby years, through the middle school challenges of COVID, to the confident, independent young woman she is today. We talk about:

✅ What Maggie was like as a baby, toddler, and little kid
✅ How COVID shaped her middle school years and friendships
✅ Finding independence in high school and building her own identity
✅ A fun Q&A about Maggie’s dreams for college, career, and family
✅ Big lessons for parents and teens about growing up, supporting each other, and celebrating milestones

Whether you’re a parent raising a teenager, a teen navigating growing pains, or just someone who loves a good coming-of-age story, this episode will make you smile—and maybe tear up a little too.
