Show Notes

In today's podcast, I have the pleasure of interviewing my twin sister, Allison Pyer, whom I'm very close to. Both of us have two children each, and her youngest son and my SKDEAS son were born within two weeks of each other. As you can imagine, we had hoped that they would grow up together, reach their developmental milestones at the same time, and become the best of friends.

However, life didn't unfold exactly as we had envisioned it, and we've never had an opportunity to discuss how our children feel about each other, until now. In this podcast, Ali and I will have an honest and open conversation about our kids and their relationship, and we hope to share some insights and experiences that might resonate with other parents who are navigating similar situations.

Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy the podcast!
