About this episode

Kim and Grandma Gail discuss the complexities of maintaining family connections across generations.

Summer is officially winding down, and Kim is having a full-blown existential crisis about it—while Grandma Gail is already moving on to Halloween pumpkins, Palm Beach restaurants, and Frank Sinatra on Broadway. In this episode, Kim and Gail break down the art of surviving family dynamics. From predicting who's going to show up late to family dinner (spoiler: it's Kim) to debating the fine line between loving family closeness and total intrusion, they get real about what it actually takes to keep a family connected across generations.
