Episode Details

In this episode, Penny meets Gabrielle (67) and Tara (28), a vibrant mother-daughter duo from Toronto who run a podcast breaking taboos on mother-daughter conversations. They delve into topics like monogamy, dating disasters, sex work, and cancel culture, disagreeing often but always with a lot of laughter. They discuss the complexities of their relationship, their podcast's inception during a trip to Miami, and how their brutally honest yet respectful discussions have strengthened their bond. The conversation also touches on their individual careers, dreams, and the challenges of navigating difficult but worthwhile relationships. A must-watch for women entrepreneurs looking for inspiration, authenticity, and the courage to dive into life's zigzag paths.
