In this episode of The Healthspan Collective, host Nicole Doran is joined by her sister and podcast producer Mackenzie Peterson for a special birthday-week episode dedicated entirely to their mom. Consider this the big sister advice episode with a twist, because the best big sister advice they ever received came from the woman who raised them. Part wellness episode, part love letter, this one is for every mom who was ahead of her time and every daughter who did not fully appreciate it until she grew up.
From growing up in a Latin, ingredient-based household with dinner at 6:00 PM every night, to feeling completely at home in a weight room before it was cool, Nicole and Mackenzie unpack the habits, mindsets, and niche little tips their mom instilled in them that they now realize most people's moms simply did not teach them. Equal parts practical, personal, and genuinely funny.
