What did your mom teach you — and how did it shape the parent, professional, and person you became? In this debut episode of What She Taught Me, Jill sits down with her sister Lisa Consor Behar to reflect on the lessons passed down by their mother, Yvette. From her instinct to protect to the small habits that stuck — like writing thank-you notes and keeping your voice down — they trace how those experiences ripple into their own relationships — and in Lisa's case, her parenting — decades later. They also get into the harder stuff: navigating a parent's Parkinson's diagnosis, offering support from different vantage points, and finding the humor that carries you through.More about Jill & Go Long:• Sign-up for Go Long's newsletter — https://golong.substack.com/subscribe• Learn more about Go Long — https://www.golong.me/how-it-works• Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/justgolong/• Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/justgolong• LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/company/go-long/Jump to:- 00:00 Casual Conversations and Lunch Plans- 01:28 Introduction to Yvette's Lessons- 03:50 The Role of a Protector- 06:29 Parental Roles and Responsibilities- 08:38 Childhood Experiences and Their Impact- 11:31 Generational Differences in Parenting- 14:04 Lessons Learned from Mom- 16:48 The Importance of Personal Touch in Communication- 19:07 Navigating Family Dynamics and Choices- 22:46 The Role of a Guidance Counselor- 28:46 Coping with Parkinson's: A Family Perspective
