In this special episode of Going Thru It, Jill and Holly connect across coasts on September 11th—two years since losing their brother Adam to colorectal cancer. It's also their first time recording together since Jill became a mom to her son, Luca Adam, lovingly named in his honor.From solo late-night feedings on one coast to quiet moments of reflection on the other, they share what it feels like to grieve apart, navigate new motherhood, and mark this anniversary without being in the same place as a family—something they had last year.With honesty, heart, and their usual banter, Jill and Holly explore how distance, grief, and new beginnings intersect, and how love for their brother continues to anchor them no matter where they are.Connect with US on Instagram

Athena and Mims dive into sibling dynamics: rivalry vs. healthy competition, birth-order tendencies (oldest/middle/youngest/only), and practical ways to nurture lasting sibling bonds. With candid stories (board-game meltdowns, back-to-school budgeting, “alpha dog” energy in all-boy homes, and mixed-age families), they show how our own sibling roles follow us into adulthood—and into how we parent.Highlights & Key IdeasRivalry → Connection: Reframe “winning” as skill-building, teamwork, and celebrating each other's milestones.Birth Order Matters (…and so does spacing & gender): Oldest often “paves the way,” middles crave visibility/uniqueness, youngest leans on charm & access; big age gaps and mixed genders change the script.Model the Cheer Squad: Teach kids to root for one another (not just race one another).Different doesn't mean behind: Younger sibs often appear faster simply because of exposure—don't compare, stay curious.Know your lane as a parent: Your own sibling role shows up in your default parenting settings (planner, peacemaker, driver, free-spirit). Use it—don't be limited by it.Segments:1) Sibling Rivalry Survival Guide: Turning Competition into ConnectionPractical swaps: cooperative board games sometimes; rotate “wins;” name strengths out loud; normalize losing without shaming.2) Birth Order Blues & BonusesHow “oldest energy,” “middle flair,” “youngest sparkle,” and “only-child depth” show up—plus how spacing and gender stacks amplify or soften those traits.3) Raising Team PlayersRituals that bond: shared chores with joint goals, sibling shout-outs at dinner, “coach for a day,” and quarterly check-ins where kids set family goals for each other.

In part six of the “Ask the Expert, Research Edition” mini-series, “Parenting is Hard,” Krissy Dilger of SRNA was joined by Barbara Babcock, a family therapist from the UK's National Health Service, to discuss the role of siblings in families with a child diagnosed with a rare neuroimmune disorder. Barbara shared findings from her research on how siblings provide crucial support to parents and the positive impacts this has on family dynamics [00:04:31]. They explored the concept of parentification and the importance of assigning age-appropriate tasks to siblings [00:25:10]. Barbara also provided advice on fostering healthy sibling relationships and the significance of open communication [00:35:34].

The Siblings sit down to discuss a beautiful death, the second circle of hell, and the amazing meta-ness that is this episode.

Outlouders, it's that time of the week again. Parenting Out Loud is back in your ears to start your weekend right. Each week, Monique Bowley, Amelia Lester and Stacey Hicks unpack the zeitgeist through the unique lens of being a parent. On today's show: Father’s Day is tomorrow and there's been a distinct shift in its marketing. Amelia unpacks what’s changed and why. Bluey: adorable? Absolutely. But is this the kids' TV show that's also making us feel… bad? Welcome to the Bluey Inadequacy Complex. Monz explains all. Plus, ❤️

Excellent news, friends. We're back with another episode of Parenting Out Loud. Father’s Day is tomorrow and there's been a distinct shift in its marketing. Amelia unpacks what’s changed and why. Bluey: adorable? Absolutely. But is this the kids' TV show that's also making us feel… bad? Welcome to the Bluey Inadequacy Complex. Monz explains all. Plus, ❤️

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three stories about those moments, those situations, those people that pull you in and won't let you go. These works focus on unexpected encounters that end up affecting a character's life in some unusual or enduring way. “Missed Connection—M4W” by Raphael Bob-Waksberg takes the idea of “chance encounter” to its limits. It's performed by Richard Kind. “My Years of Living Dangerously” by Danielle Henderson explores the idea of sin and redemption. It's performed by Karen Pittman. And in Melissa Banks' ruefully comic “Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Away,” performed by Julianna Margulies, one sibling makes a bad choice the other has to live with.

In this episode, I open up about a challenging family situation that arose while clearing out my parents' home after my mother's passing and my father's move to an elderly home. What should have been a process of sharing memories became a source of tension, disappointment, and hurt.Instead of staying trapped in anger or continuing the cycle of reacting and counter-reacting, I explore how to step back, process the emotions, and choose a different response. Through meditation, journaling, and silence, I found my way back to calm and forgiveness.This story isn't about blame—it's about learning how to break old family patterns and becoming a role model for the next generation. It's about showing our children that even when we feel deeply hurt, we can choose peace, forgiveness, and love, and carry light into our families.BOOKS:

On this episode of Big Fat Five, I'm joined by drummer Xavier Ware. He's currently out on the road with Bilmuri, and his playing is UNREAL—able to blaze with the kind of intensity that feels like he's getting paid by the note, then pivot into a dynamic, nuanced jazz approach with left-foot finesse that I honestly can't wrap my head around. Both of those styles live so far outside my own playing, which made this conversation especially exciting. We discuss where he learned the jazz language, how he breaks down the incredibly technical songs he's known for, and his journey toward appreciating the small things. And ultimately, how you shouldn't strive for perfect timing or playing, but that perfect feeling, for both you and the audience.

In this episode of Case Studies, Casey is joined by John Jackson; a former gang leader who rose through the ranks of one of the most powerful prison organizations before choosing a path of transformation. From maximum security yards to solitary confinement at Pelican Bay, John shares how trauma, prison politics, and the underground economy shaped his life—and how entrepreneurship helped him rewrite it.He reveals how gangs inside prison operate like corporations, complete with hierarchies, rules, and revenue streams. John breaks down the incentives that drive violence and control, while also exposing the perverse economics of private prisons. His story shows how the same discipline and leadership that once sustained chaos can be redirected toward growth and purpose.From orchestrating survival in solitary to joining an in-prison entrepreneurship program, John and Casey explore the pivotal moments that shifted his trajectory.

In this episode, I talk with Author Louise Ells about her book, "Lies I Told My Sister." Her novel began as a response to a a question a friend asked: "What scares you the most? And are you going to write about it?" Having already dealt with the loss of one of her sisters at a young age, Louise managed to find ways to express her feelings of grief and loss in a novel that explores the relationship between sisters, and the ways that we avoid our biggest fears.  We also talk about how writing itself can be so cathartic and a helpful way to make sense of our own emotional responses by having fictional characters deal with them.

There's no hurt quite like family hurt. Words spoken in anger, wounds from childhood, broken trust, betrayal, silence—these don't just leave emotional bruises. They leave scars. And they don't go away by pretending they're not there. Forgiveness within the family is one of the hardest, holiest things we're called to do.Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32 (ESV)Family is where love should be unconditional—but it often comes with the most conditions. Parents can hurt their children. Children can break their parents' hearts. Siblings can carry grudges for decades. And those offenses don't stay buried—they shape identity, decisions, and even faith.But here's what Jesus calls us to: to forgive in the same way we've been forgiven. That doesn't mean excusing abuse or pretending betrayal didn't happen. It means we refuse to let bitterness define our relationships or our legacy.Forgiveness in families takes intentionality. It may mean initiating a conversation, even when you feel it's not your fault. It may mean releasing someone to God, even if they've never apologized. It may even mean setting boundaries—not out of hatred, but out of healing.And if you're the one who caused the hurt? Don't hide in shame. The humility to repent and the courage to make things right is often the first step toward restoration.God's desire is to bring wholeness to the household—not just the individual. When forgiveness flows through the home, it doesn't just heal—it redeems.Question of the Day:Who in your family do you need to forgive—or ask forgiveness from—to begin restoring what's been broken?Mini Call to Action:Today, take one step: write a letter, make a phone call, or pray a blessing over the one who hurt you.Let's Pray:Father, You see every wound in my family. Teach me to forgive, even when it hurts. Heal the breaches, restore what was broken, and make my family a testimony of Your grace. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!The hardest forgiveness often leads to the deepest healing. Don't wait. Be the one to start the healing in your home.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Today we're talking about the family stories that don't always get told—Family estrangement is one of those deeply personal experiences that often lives in the shadows—unspoken, misunderstood, and emotionally charged. While we may see stories of reconciliation in movies or TV shows, real life is far messier. People are walking around carrying the weight of broken ties with parents, siblings, or even their own children—and many of them feel very isolated in that pain & shame.

Ryan Kramer was born through an anonymous sperm donor in 1990. By the time he was 2 years old, he already had some big questions about his identity — and the desire to find answers. Ryan's search led him to become the first donor-conceived person to find his parent through DNA testing. He also co-founded the Donor Sibling Registry, an organization that's helped connect tens of thousands of donor-conceived people with biological family. He tells Anita about meeting many of his own genetic relatives and what this journey has taught him about the meaning of those relationships.Meet the guest:- Ryan Kramer, co-founder of the Donor Sibling Registry and the first donor-conceived person to find his parent through DNA testingRead the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

When life doesn't go as planned, how do you keep going — and still find joy along the way? In this moving conversation, pediatrician, rare disease advocate, and author Dr. Tasha Faruki joins me to share her extraordinary journey as a mother navigating her daughter's complex medical needs. From the first whispers that something was different, to the raw reality of “failure to thrive,” to redefining joy through Make-A-Wish surfboards in Hawaii, Dr. Tasha's story is one of grit, surrender, and radical love. We talk about: Trusting your instincts when everyone says “don't worry” Letting go of the plan you thought your life would follow Siblings, family repair, and the unspoken challenges behind the scenes The power of asking “Why not?” instead of “Why me?” Living by the family motto: Suck the joy out of life Some quotes from the episode: "Our children carry the medicine we need." "I had to stop waiting for joy to fall into my lap and start intentionally finding it." "It's incredibly brutal and it's incredibly beautiful — and both can be true."

It's common to think of Christianity as a colonialist instrument of oppression. But what if the gospel is the only thing in the world that can truly bring different cultures, nations, and people together in a unifying love that transforms the world?

On this episode, we dig into a chilling tale of loss, family secrets, and the supernatural. When Tammy, a young woman haunted by her family's tragic past, joins a seance during her study-abroad program, she encounters something far darker than she ever anticipated.  As the line between the living and the dead blurs, Tammy must confront unsettling visions, cryptic warnings, and a shadowy presence that seems tied to her very existence. Was it a coincidence, or did something follow her back into the light?

In this week's episode of Going Thru It, we sit down with our first mother/daughter duo. Rev. Naomi Tutu and her daughter, author and activist Mungi Ngomane. Together, they are a mother and daughter carrying not just their own stories, but the legacy of one of the most influential leaders of our time, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. We talk about what it means to grieve someone who didn't just belong to you, the South African traditions that shaped how they honor loss, and the wisdom that moves between generations when a family is navigating both public and private grief. This conversation is part legacy, part love letter, and part reminder that across cultures, continents, and generations, grief connects us in the most human way possible. And a very happy belated birthday to Rev. Naomi! Of course you were born on the special day of 8/8....the Lion's Portal! Everyday Ubuntu by Mungi Ngomane Everyday Ubuntu on AudibleMore about Rev.

“You know you're adopted, right? I'm telling mom!” In this week's episode, Alex and Jon discuss sibling relationships and how you can be best friends as kids and enemies as adults. Your “built-in best friend” doesn't sound so great when they're stealing your inheritance or picking the same baby names as you. People say Alex and Jon look like siblings and although they swear they're “husband and wife”…it makes you think why they always argue…like children. 0:00 - Intro33:21 - I Want More Alone Time35:26 - Do I Need To Have Two Kids?39:37 - Siblings as Coworkers 41:41 - I'm Not Sharing My Inheritance46:33 - Can You Watch My Child?55:41 - My Brother Picked The Same Baby Name1:00:59 -The Craziest Alaskan Wedding1:05:03 - Oh Brother!

Sarah's got some TV for you to watch, including, ‘TMZ Presents: Hulk Hogan' - if you're into that. Did you have to pay these shocking Outside Lands ride share surge prices? Is it over between Kylie and Timmy, or is he just filming Dune: Part 3? What's sexier than a tiger? ‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale' is coming! Siblings are just a strange part of life, so is it surprising that 1 in 4 people are estranged from a sibling? When was the last time you were carded? Pacifiers are part of a weird trend… for adults. Sarah isn't standing for it.

We play the famous sibling’s game to see who can name the most. It ends in controversy. We also talked about how to keep romance alive in a relationship. Bobby talked about a man who is now planning home renovations after winning ‘$200 a Week for Life’ win on instant ticket. Would we take that $200 bucks a week or take the lump sum? Amy shares that she’s had a loaner from the dealership for an oddly long amount of time and is wondering if there’s something going on. Out of nowhere, Amy brings up summer long balls and why try to figure out what she’s talking about.
