Kaitlyn and her mom, Leslie EDITH, were two booked and busy b!tches in Italy last week – and they are here to talk about it! What started as Kaitlyn's birthday gift to Leslie turned into the trip of a lifetime for this mother-daughter duo. They talk about their magical air balloon ride in Tuscany, the mystical memories made in the historical churches, and what happens when you take (a little too much) melatonin before a wine tasting tour. These two had the best time! It was a week full of singing show tunes, avoiding garlic (you'll find out why), and a few confession-worthy mishaps that they ALMOST forgot to share. It's just a feel-good episode with our favorite Canadian beauty, Momma B. THANK YOU to our sponsors!

Revolutionize your diet and change your health - with Momma B's down-home - but better - way to cook! When Jared Blinsky's dad was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic, Mrs. Blinsky refused to accept it. She did her research, applied her legendary culinary skills - and got cooking. What happened next?

Who said breaking up with your therapist can't be fun? Fine, I'll say it: breaking up with a therapist is NOT fun.

Every year, her lovely family assumes she will cook them up the most delicious holiday feast. This has gotten old for Jessica after 6 years of cooking and even worse! getting minimal help with the dishes and clean-up after. How can Jessica change this tradition she’s come to hate without making her family hangry? The Case of the Caloric Questioner: Fiona is just about to sit down for her fam’s Southern feast. As she reaches for the gravy ladle, her mother leans in and intercepts her hand, “Honey, once on the lips, always on the hips. How’s that diet going?" How does Fiona avoid exploding on her mother like she has in years past? The Case of the Bickering Bros: Sammy and his brother can't be in the same room without turning any discussion into a political debate. As kids, the brothers got along just fine, but since Sammy moved across the country and only sees his family once or twice a year, their relationship has really suffered. The arguing upsets their mother, especially when their father starts yelling too. How can Sammy make this visit home to the family this holiday season a little harmonious?

This is a holiday bonus segment for Episode 01 of Advice from Mom. If traveling for the holidays means visiting politically-divided households, this bonus is for you. Momma B & me would like to offer you a little audio care package for your journey. Each question gets 3 doses of advice. First you’ll hear Momma B’s advice. Next: You’ll hear a segment called Mother-Daughter Pickleball, where your host, Rebecca presents some clarifying questions and builds on Momma B's advice. Last, you’ll hear a second opinion, because it’s always good to get a second opinion. Here’s the question: I voted for Hillary this election and let’s just say my mom voted very differently. She keeps telling me everything's fine. I should "get over it." She's invalidating my feelings and it absolutely breaks my heart. I consider my mom my best friend, but right now, she doesn't understand me. I'm going to see her next week. I feel like if I attempt to talk to her about this, we'll both get too emotional and overreact. We are peas in a pod that way. How can I move towards a place of understanding and forgiveness without causing a huge argument? I worry if I say something, it will end badly. If I don't say something, then her choice is validated, which I certainly don’t want. Is there middle ground? Signed, Drinking in San Francisco The guest in this segment is Diane.
