Ep 4: Two Sisters, One Mic

Ep. 4

Hello, my favourite humans!


In this episode, my semi-adult sister Melissa shares the mic. We grew up in the same household, and we're *almost* a carbon copy of each other – but different. We chat all things growing up, personalities, icks and what we love/hate about each other. (Much drama.)


This is a snapshot of our relationship – 5 years apart but thick as thieves. She's a Gen Z and I'm a millennial: it shouldn't work, but it does.


P.S. Remember to submit a 5* rating (or I will cry) and follow for more chaotic conversations.
