Episode notes

My parents are just a bit more traditional and also didn't come from like an educated path. And I felt that also as well growing up. For so long growing up, it was there was so much like anxiety around their lack of education. They've carried that insecurity themselves pretty deeply, but wanted to level up in terms of socioeconomic class.

Today, we’re sharing an episode of Where Should We Begin?, a Vox Media podcast hosted by the iconic psychotherapist Esther Perel. Listen in as real people in search of insight bare the raw, intimate, and profound details of their stories.

In this episode, a Where Should We Begin first, Esther sits down with two friends. They’ve been close for so long they feel like brothers, with all of the baggage that comes with family but none of the certainty. There are things that go unspoken between them, issues they have skimmed over in their two decades of friendship. Esther creates the space for the conversation they didn't know quite where to begin. This session was recorded in collaboration with NPR's Invisibilia and a sibling episode with Esther can be heard on their podcast.

Kara & Nayeema will be back Thursday with a fresh episode of ON.
