Do you ever talk with your siblings and wonder… “Were we even raised by the same parents?” You’re not alone.

In this deeply insightful episode, we unpack the emotional truth that even when siblings grow up under the same roof, their experiences of childhood can feel worlds apart. Birth order, parental stress levels, evolving attachment styles, and even unspoken family trauma can shape each child’s story in vastly different ways.

We talk about how these differences can impact sibling connection into adulthood—why some brothers and sisters grow closer over time, and others drift apart. And more importantly, how we can start to build empathy for one another’s memories, even when they clash with our own.

This is not about blaming parents. It’s about validating your experience, understanding the psychology of family systems, and finding peace with the complexities of your past.

✨ Trigger Warning: This episode contains emotional content related to family trauma and differing childhood experiences.
