Today Ellen and Denise are talking to Ellie and Carrie Monahan. They are sisters and as some of you might know they are the daughters of Katie Couric, an American journalist and author.

They just started a podcast and I listen to every Friday when they drop episodes. The title is: “All Each Other Has.” We love listening to the voices of these young adults - Ellie (a millennial ) and Carrie (on the Gen Z cusp).

The first SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS. They explain that the podcast is titled - “All Each Other Has,” because their mother always told them -- “Be nice to each other – you are all each other has.”

And as parents of adult children, we all want our children to be close to their siblings because as they say: "you are all each other has."

They tell us their journey to being close (it was not always that way) and the role the death of their father Jay Monahan , who died when Ellie was five and Carrie was two-year-old.

Also the week before the interview, their mother announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. We also discuss how it feels to add a stepfather into your life as a young adult. They give some good advice on how to break the "marriage" news to your young adult children and what it is like to have your single parent dating!

They are very bright insightful young women. We think you will like this.

Thanks so much to Connie Gorant Fisher, our audio engineer.
