Description

In this episode of The Breakdown with Bethany, Sarah Michelle Gellar gets real about the rhythms of parenting, the importance of family dinners, and the surprisingly emotional journey of getting her daughter to like artichokes. The millennial icon and mother of two shares how carving out unhurried moments—like sitting around the dinner table—creates space for meaningful conversations and lifelong habits. “You don’t get to try something once and then decide you don’t like it,” she says, recounting how her daughter kept giving artichokes another shot until—years later—they finally stuck. It’s a fitting metaphor from a woman who’s known for fighting demons on screen but now offers wisdom about patience, presence, and parenting off-screen. And yes, she graciously answers one question about Buffy.
