Ever wonder why your siblings or parents remember the same family event so differently from you? In this eye-opening episode, Anne sits down with her 19-year-old niece, Kreighton, for a heartfelt "exit interview" about growing up. Their conversation reveals how our personal filters shape the way we experience shared moments and how understanding those differences can heal old wounds.
Kreighton bravely opens up about watching her father’s emotional growth, from a man who once dismissed feelings with “be tougher” to someone who now smiles genuinely, maybe for the first time. She reflects on being “daddy’s girl” and how their relationship has shifted over the years, showing how generational patterns are passed down—and how they can be broken with awareness and intention.
The conversation gets raw when Kreighton shares her struggles with body image and self-acceptance. Anne offers a powerful perspective shift: Would you stay friends with someone who talked to you the way your inner critic does? Together, they unpack the importance of silencing that critical voice—nicknamed “Darla” to build a healthier self-image.
CKeighton also navigates the tricky balance of honoring her parents while finding her own path. She gives her father a C+ in parenting (“with room to grow”), expressing both love and honest critique. Through tears and laughter, Anne and Kreighton show how vulnerability can strengthen family bonds and heal past hurts.
