You couldn't control your childhood, but adulthood gives you choices. Alex's message is to stop waiting for your parents to change before you start healing. They had power over your past. They don't automatically get your future too. #CallHerDaddy

You couldn't control your childhood, but adulthood gives you choices. Alex's message is to stop waiting for your parents to change before you start healing. They had power over your past. They don't automatically get your future too. #CallHerDaddy
Boundaries aren't about forcing your parents to behave differently. They're about deciding what YOU will participate in, what conversations you'll have, and how much access someone gets to your peace. #CallHerDaddy
Radical acceptance doesn't mean rewriting your childhood or excusing the people who hurt you. It means accepting what you cannot change so the past stops controlling how you live in the present. #CallHerDaddy
Alex says lowering your expectations can protect your peace. It's not saying your parents' behavior was okay. It's accepting who they've shown you they are instead of constantly waiting for them to become someone else. #CallHerDaddy
Sometimes the resentment isn't only about the past. It's about repeatedly hoping your parents will finally change, then feeling crushed when they respond exactly the way they've always responded. #CallHerDaddy
Alex tackles the complicated truth that you can love your parents, want them in your life AND still resent them for things that happened during childhood. Those feelings don't automatically cancel each other out. #CallHerDaddy
At 52, Alanis calls menopause a “truth serum.” She's less interested in being quiet, agreeable or palatable and more interested in being whole, including the messy and angry parts. Basically, the era of making herself smaller is officially over. #CallHerDaddy
Plot twist: Alanis says SHE reached out to Sex and the City suggesting Carrie Bradshaw have a lesbian moment. The show was already thinking the same thing, and suddenly Alanis was kissing Carrie during Spin the Bottle. Icon behavior. #CallHerDaddy
Alanis opens up about severe postpartum depression, invasive thoughts, rage and even psychosis. She says motherhood needs more community and far less pressure for women to immediately look happy, healed and perfectly put together. #CallHerDaddy
Alanis gets REAL about relationships, saying intense chemistry can sometimes be unresolved trauma wearing a cute outfit. She opens up about codependency, love addiction and learning that keeping the peace isn't worth completely losing yourself. #CallHerDaddy
Alanis says the backlash to her success came from a scarcity mentality that makes women feel like there's only room for one woman at the top. She compares the cycle of being loved, hated, then loved again to what Taylor Swift experiences today. #CallHerDaddy
Alanis Morissette says she was just 14 years old sitting in rooms full of men discussing contracts she barely understood. She didn't even know what “publishing” meant. Imagine being a teenager while adults are already turning your life into a business. #CallHerDaddy
Morgan says drunk Morgan becomes everyone’s new best friend. She’ll meet you in the bathroom, invite you to the table and announce you’re all going to Rome together. The next morning? Absolutely nobody is going to Rome. #CallHerDaddy
What is Dr. Phil like as a father-in-law? Morgan says he’s actually quiet, wicked smart and does NOT psychoanalyze everyone at dinner. She does occasionally wonder if he can secretly see every trauma and bad habit she has. #CallHerDaddy
Morgan dated Jordan McGraw years before they reunited, married and had kids. She even kept the Chanel bags he gave her the first time around. Not because she was sentimental, but because she has standards and Chanel does not get discarded. #CallHerDaddy
Morgan says Rihanna once told her she loved her on Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, and Morgan nearly lost it. Her celebrity rule after years of interviews: the BIGGEST stars are often the nicest because they have nothing left to prove. #CallHerDaddy
Morgan’s celebrity hall pass? John Mayer. She once genuinely thought if he spent two hours with her, he’d fall in love. She met him. Reader, he did not. And Jordan McGraw definitely does NOT have actual hall-pass privileges. #CallHerDaddy
Morgan Stewart’s fashion verdict is IN: ankle boots are out, wedges are mostly useless and classic basics will always win. Alex slowly realizes Morgan just personally attacked half of her college wardrobe. #CallHerDaddy
Erin Andrews says raising a 3-year-old is basically like taking care of your drunk girlfriend in your 20s: “Don’t touch that. Come here. Wash your hands. Where are you going?” Motherhood, but make it crowd control. #CallHerDaddy
