Why my dad was strict on me but not my younger siblings :/

Hi! We got to go home and record a podcast with our dad. I've always wondered why my dad treated me so differently compared to all my other siblings. Now I know why! Enjoy the pod and excuse the technical difficulties.

Grieving the loss of our grandparents

Hi guys, sorry we haven't posted in a while! This past year has been incredibly challenging for us as we navigated the grief of losing our grandparents. They had profound impact on our lives, and we’re still figuring out what life looks like without them. Recording and uploading episodes didn’t feel right while we were processing this loss. However, we are committed to honoring their legacy and preserving their memories through our work. While we’re still healing, we’re hoping to get back into the rhythm of things this year. Thank you everyone for your understanding and support—it means so much to us. With love, Jesse, Andrew, and Rachel
