In this episode, I sit down with my sister, Lucy, to talk about everything from listener poll results on serial killer tendencies; to getting the “ick” from our past content; to whether Lucy experiences imposter syndrome and anxiety. We read an old letter we found from our mom to Lucy in high school, discuss how Lucy felt always being compared to me when we were growing up, and unpack a recent fight I picked with my husband. We also talk about how we both feel comfortable fighting, how families can put you in a box and hold onto old beliefs, and how I feel like I’m failing at everything right now.
