We're kicking off our Sibling Series with a powerful and heartfelt conversation with sisters Caroline and Natalie DeJean. You might remember Caroline from a past episode (celebrity stylist, cool girl, song-of-summer expert), and today she's joined by her younger sister Natalie as they open up about the loss of their mom, Miss Liz, seven years ago. This episode dives into all the complexities surrounding grief. How siblings can experience the same loss in totally different ways, and how layered family dynamics, including divorce and emotional distance, can shape the grieving process. Caroline and Natalie reflect on where their relationship stood with their mom at the time of her passing, and how they've each made peace with that in their own way. We also get into some classic sibling rivalry, the evolving bond between sisters, and — of course — our annual Song of Summer debate. It's messy, moving, and filled with moments that'll make you laugh, nod along, and maybe even call your sibling afterward.Connect with Caroline on Insta Connect with Natalie on InstaConnect with Holly on InstaConnect with Jill on InstaSong of Summer (according to Spotify) 

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Monét is over two-factor authentication, and she and Bob compare sleep temperatures and who is living more luxuriously. Monét breaks down her gardener bill—should he get paid for days he doesn't work? Bob price-checks Monét's jewelry, recalls what Monét said that confirmed to him that she's a one-percenter, and Monét questions whether Bob secretly supports big business. Bob shares his private flight experience. They call out each other's luxury habits, wonder how much cash RuPaul keeps in her checking, compare Monét's earnings to James Charles based on a net worth website, and reveal the most luxurious thing they've ever bought for themselves.

Comedian, speaker, and author Paul Ollinger takes us on a laughter-filled journey through his life, offering a candid look into his experiences growing up in a large Catholic family in suburban Atlanta. Known for his sharp wit and engaging storytelling, Paul reflects on how sibling rivalry and lively dinner table discussions crafted his communication prowess and competitive spirit.

Paul vividly recounts his pivot from a comfortable position at Yahoo to chasing his passion for stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, a decision that led him to a pivotal role at Facebook during its exponential growth phase. His story illustrates the delicate balance between following one's dreams and maintaining practicality in the face of life's uncertainties, offering listeners valuable insights on resilience and adaptability.   As we wrap up our conversation, we explore the crucial role of AI and technology in modern industries like real estate. Paul shares his unique approach to real estate transactions, emphasizing the importance of trust and emotional intelligence in building lasting client relationships. We also discuss how professionals can stand out in a commoditized market by focusing on clients' holistic needs and the necessity of ongoing education to keep pace with AI advancements.

Books, plays and films have been written about it, its onset feared in some quarters, pilloried in others, and it will, eventually, affect almost all women. Though that's not why Sarah Vine wants to talk about the menopause, but why, in some circumstances, it can be a huge liberation for women; finally freed from being slave to one's hormones, and that's just the beginning. So, why, do so many women fear the onset of the menopause? Plus, Peter Hitchens, is told several times a week (online, never in the street or to his face), how much cleverer his older brother Christopher was, and that Peter should have died in his stead. This used to annoy Peter, understandably, but now he finds these brickbats amusing and interesting, and is left wondering, sibling rivalry, what is it all about? On our reading and watch list this week: ·      Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury ·      A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket·      The Menopause Brain: The New Science Empowering Women to Navigate Midlife with Knowledge and Confidence – Dr Lisa MosconiTo get in touch, email: alas@mailonline.co.uk, you can leave a comment on Spotify or even send us a voice note on Whatsapp – on 07796 657512, start your message with the word ‘alas'. Take our show survey at:https://ex-plorsurvey.com/survey/selfserve/550/g517/250305?list=9 Presenters: Sarah Vine & Peter HitchensProducer: Philip WildingEditor: Chelsey MooreProduction Manager: Vittoria CecchiniExecutive Producer: Jamie East A Daily Mail production.

Transcript:Da: I et lille parcelhus i forstaden, en smule slidt af tidens forløb, samles familien omkring det lange spisebord.En: In a small suburban house, a bit worn by the passage of time, the family gathers around the long dining table.Da: Det er forår udenfor.En: It is spring outside.Da: Friske knopper kigger frem på buskene, og en let brise bærer duften af nyklippet græs ind gennem de halvt åbne vinduer.En: Fresh buds peek out on the bushes, and a gentle breeze carries the scent of freshly cut grass through the half-open windows.Da: Men indenfor er stemningen alt andet end let.En: But inside, the atmosphere is anything but light.Da: Nikolaj sidder stille ved bordets ende.En: Nikolaj sits quietly at the end of the table.Da: Han er der for sin bror, som han ikke har set længe.En: He is there for his brother, whom he hasn't seen in a long time.Da: Spændingerne rammer ham allerede som bølger af ubehag.En: The tension already hits him like waves of discomfort.Da: Freja, derimod, går beslutsomt rundt og prøver at lette stemningen.En: Freja, on the other hand, moves around decisively, trying to lighten the mood.Da: Hun er en del af familien gennem sin kusine og har hurtigt bemærket Nikolajs tilbagetrukkenhed.En: She is part of the family through her cousin and has quickly noticed Nikolaj's withdrawal.Da: Hun sætter sig ved siden af ham, med et varmt smil på læben.En: She sits next to him with a warm smile on her face.Da: "Hej, Nikolaj.En: "Hi, Nikolaj.Da: Hvordan har du det?"En: How are you?"Da: spørger hun venligt.En: she asks kindly.Da: Nikolaj tøver, ser på hende og svarer med et halvhjertet smil, "Hej, Freja.En: Nikolaj hesitates, looks at her, and replies with a half-hearted smile, "Hi, Freja.Da: Jeg klarer mig."En: I'm managing."Da: Han ser ned, undgår øjenkontakt.En: He looks down, avoiding eye contact.Da: Han ønsker blot at undgå konfrontationerne, der ofte opstår til disse sammenkomster.En: He just wants to avoid the confrontations that often arise at these gatherings.Da: Familien skændes højlydt om de små ting.En: The family argues loudly over small things.Da: Nogen nævner den store ovale arvemaling, som få kunne enes om, hvorefter stemmerne hæves.En: Someone mentions the large oval heirloom painting, which few could agree on, and then voices are raised.Da: Midt i det ophedede øjeblik rejser Nikolajs bror sig for at forlade rummet, træt af de bitre bemærkninger.En: In the middle of the heated moment, Nikolaj's brother stands up to leave the room, tired of the bitter remarks.Da: "Hold nu op!"En: "Stop it!"Da: bryder Nikolaj pludselig ud, hans stemme højere end beregnet.En: Nikolaj suddenly bursts out, his voice louder than intended.Da: Alle stopper op, og rummet fyldes med stilhed.En: Everyone stops, and the room is filled with silence.Da: Nikolajs mod til at forsvare sin bror overrasker både Freja og ham selv.En: Nikolaj's courage to defend his brother surprises both Freja and himself.Da: Øjnene falder på ham, og han må skjule sin overraskelse over sin egen handling.En: Eyes fall on him, and he must hide his surprise at his own action.Da: Efter måltidet og de fælles anstrengelser for at genoprette noget, der minder om harmoni, sniger Nikolaj og Freja sig udenfor i den kølige forårsaftenluft.En: After the meal and the joint efforts to restore something resembling harmony, Nikolaj and Freja sneak outside into the cool spring evening air.Da: De sidder på trappetrinnet.En: They sit on the steps.Da: Mørket samler sig stille omkring dem.En: Darkness quietly gathers around them.Da: "Det var en overraskelse," siger Freja, med et smil som går helt til øjnene.En: "That was a surprise," says Freja, with a smile that reaches her eyes.Da: Nikolaj trækker på skuldrene og griner lavmælt, "Jeg vidste ikke, jeg havde det i mig."En: Nikolaj shrugs and laughs softly, "I didn't know I had it in me."Da: Han ser op mod himlen, hvor stjernerne begynder at titte frem.En: He looks up at the sky, where stars begin to peek through.Da: "Men tak, fordi du kom hen til mig."En: "But thank you for coming over to me."Da: Freja nikker og rækker ham en flaske vand, "Jeg kunne mærke, du havde brug for en pause fra alt det dér."En: Freja nods and hands him a bottle of water, "I could sense you needed a break from all that."Da: De taler længe og deler stille historier om deres liv og drømme.En: They talk for a long time and share quiet stories about their lives and dreams.Da: De indser, at de har mere tilfælles, end de først antog.En: They realize they have more in common than they first assumed.Da: Da de rejser sig for at gå ind igen, føler Nikolaj sig lettere.En: As they get up to go back inside, Nikolaj feels lighter.Da: Han ved nu, at ikke alle konflikter behøver at være så vanskelige, og at han kan finde støtte hos nye venner.En: He now knows that not all conflicts need to be so difficult and that he can find support in new friends.Da: Freja opdager, at hendes evne til at skabe ro kan føre til betydningsfulde forbindelser.En: Freja discovers that her ability to create calm can lead to meaningful connections.Da: Imens de vender tilbage til den nu roligere stue, har de begge en følelse af ny begyndelse.En: As they return to the now calmer living room, they both have a sense of a new beginning.

fra dem begge.En: A willingness to understand, and a wish for something more from both of them.No: De to søsknene stod der, lenge nok til at lydene fra resten av familien bare var en fjern bakgrunnssus.En: The two siblings stood there long enough for the sounds from the rest of the family to become just a distant background hum.No: "Kan vi starte på nytt?En: "Can we start over?"No: " spurte Sunniva forsiktig.En: Sunniva asked gently.No: Eirik nikket.En: Eirik nodded.No: "Ja, jeg vil det," svarte han, følelsen av lettelse fylte ham.En: "Yes, I want that," he replied, the feeling of

better.No: De begge forlot stuen med hjertene litt lettere, og fremtiden åpen foran dem som en vårdag med lovende solskinn.En: They both left the living room with hearts a little lighter, and the

Ever feel like your kids are growing up in totally different households—even though they share the same last name and dinner table? Your oldest follows all the rules, your middle child avoids conflict like it's their full-time job, and your youngest? Total chaos with a side of charm. In this episode, Dr. Cam sits down with Dr. Kelly Jameson, a therapist, speaker, and expert on birth order psychology and sibling dynamics, to decode what's really going on behind your kids' clashing personalities—and what to do when fairness feels impossible. If you've ever second-guessed how you parent each child (spoiler: you're not imagining it), this episode is packed with eye-opening truths and practical solutions.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE How birth order shapes your teen's personality and behavior Why sibling rivalry is normal—and how to handle it without picking sides What “fair” parenting really looks like (and why it's not the same for every child) How to parent your firstborn, middle, and youngest without losing your mind 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR PARENTS OF TEENS Birth order isn't just theory—it deeply influences how each child behaves, connects, and competes Sibling rivalry often stems from a fight for limited parental attention—not bad behavior Fairness in parenting means meeting each child where they are developmentally, not treating them identically Older siblings shouldn't be forced to parent younger ones—it breeds resentment, not responsibility Creating rituals, one-on-one time, and shared experiences helps reduce tension and build sibling bonds
