Mothers and daughters are a powerful force to be reckoned with.

My name is Andrea and this is Adult Child.

Welcome back to Adult Child where we take a deep dive into the impact of growing up in a dysfunctional family.

And today we are diving deep with one bad ass bitch, the lovely Paulina Pinsky.

Yes, she is the daughter of Dr. Drew.

I am sure that she is sick of having that follow her name and we actually get into that in our conversation

about what it was like to be raised by a public figure, what is it like to have a dad that is a celebrity?

And we are also talking about a bunch of other shit too.

Her struggles with an eating disorder, her first romantic relationship, which was rather unhealthy and codependent,

like my first relationship and I am sure like most of your first relationships and most importantly about the relationship with her mother,

which has been a struggle, also something that I think most of us can relate to.

I wanted to tell you all about this book I've been reading or rather listening to and it is called Mother Hunger.

How adult daughters can understand and heal from lost nutrients, protection and guidance by Kelly McDaniel.

Thank you Denise for this book recommendation.

This book has definitely been bringing up a lot of feelings for me.

I highly highly highly recommend it and I really want to have this author on the pod Kelly.

I reached out to her on Instagram, I don't know about a month ago and said I'd love to have you on.

She said yes and now I've just been bugging her to pin down a time but she has stopped responding to me.

So if anyone wants to hit her up on the old IG and say that you would love to hear her on the adult child podcast,

that would be really great.

So one last thing before we go to Polina, I have received many messages from y'all asking how the date went.

I feel like if I am going to tease that I am going on a date, it is only fair that I let you know how it went.
