43: Sibling Dynamics with Mason and Phineas

Welcome to Episode 43 of The Madhappy Podcast. This week, Mason and Phineas talk about siblings, diving into the evolution of the relationships between themselves and their brothers & sisters from childhood to adulthood. Phineas and Mason kick off the episode as Mason shares more about his experiences moving from an only child to middle child of a blended family (6:06) as Phineas opens up about his experiences as the second of four children and how he has worked to build friendships with his siblings over the past few years (11:23). The two talk on the importance of being able to rethink previous sibling dynamics to allow space for unique experiences (16:19), before wrapping up with a conversation about the importance of reflecting and finding empathy for their siblings rather than reverting to comparison within their family dynamics (24:37).
