S2 Ep 2: A Unique Spin

We're still in the self-discovery era here. One thing that we both have in common is that we're the first born in the family. Famously known as the guinea pig at times, even acting as the substitute parent (aka guardian) when needed. This episode is especially slightly more personal for Josephine.. Personal notes from us: - Shout out to all parents, we'd like to pour you a glass of sake to salute you for your dedication and sacrifices to raise your offspring(s) 🍶 - To all the first child, stand tall and speak up if necessary but do it in a way that you still show respect to your parents and younger siblings 😇 *If you resonate with our episodes, give us a 5 star rating - you can also tap the 'bell' button to get notified when we launched a new episode! 😎
