Episode 19 - You're Ruining My Memories - Part 1

Part 1 of 2. This week, Fran finally got her brother Scott on the podcast. If you were expecting years of sibling secrets, childhood dirt, and complete chaos...so were we. Unfortunately, Scott was running on fumes and brought the energy of a man who'd already mentally gone to bed. It may not have been the wild sibling showdown, but sometimes the best conversations are the ones that feel real, unfiltered, and familiar. Don't worry...he'll be back!

It’s honest, hopeful, and full of the kind of wisdom you only earn the hard way. Follow Katie on Instagram @the_groundedcollective
