Yapping About... Trauma That Made Us Funny, Our Mother Wound and the Sister Who Changed Everything (Part 1)

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I'm sitting down with my baby sister, Tina, for one of our favorite things to do - an unfiltered sister yap session. We cover everything from growing up as daughters of divorced parents to navigating our own divorces, healing family wounds, raising kids, and figuring out who we are on the other side of some of life's hardest seasons. This conversation is full of laughter, honesty, and the kind of stories that only sisters can tell. Tina and I didn't grow up together in the traditional sense after our parents divorced, so we've had a unique journey of finding our way back to each other throughout adulthood. In this episode, we reflect on our childhood, our Portuguese family culture, our relationships with our parents, and the lessons we've learned from staying in marriages longer than we should have. If you've ever experienced divorce, struggled with family relationships, worked through the mother wound, or simply enjoy listening to honest conversations between sisters, I think you'll see a little bit of yourself in this episode.
