Welcome to the debut of Between Us: Mother Daughter Unfiltered! A Xennial Mom: Zeynep - immigrant, survivor, cycle breaker, designer and the founder of the custom boot brand: Zeyzani; and a Gen Alpha Daughter: Tara Khaleesi - witty, emotionally intelligent beyond her years, and never shy about saying what's on her mind. Together they pull back the curtain on real life; no sugarcoating, no Pinterest perfect edits.

In this debut episode, Zeynep and Tara Khaleesi share the 5 life rules that have shaped their family with their signature banter and laughs woven in.

1- Be Kind

2- Grow A Pair (aka be brave)

3- Suck It Up (feel it, then chin up and move on)

4- Give It Your All

5- Own It

They also dive into the red flags that show up in friendships way before dating ever starts; and why those early dynamics matter.

Tara Khaleesi schools Mom on Gen Alpha slang with two must know terms: rage baiting and crashing out. Somewhere in the middle, she even drops a genius "3D Glasses" metaphor about balancing mom vs best friend (unscripted, totally floored us)!
