    From the vault: The Fink Siblings Episode
    Dec 24 2024
    Today we have an unforgettable episode of the show as we sit down with two of my favorite people in the world — my brother Robbie and my twin sister Allie, to explore the unique dynamics of our sibling bond. I took to my Instagram stories to gather questions that you wanted answered and we even snuck in a game of "who's most likely to" before signing off. In this episode, we reflect on our special individual connections, highlighting the mutual admiration, creativity, and shared experiences that have shaped our closeness. From heartfelt compliments to nostalgic anecdotes, we explore the balance of intelligence, kindness, and normalcy within our family. We touch on sibling rivalry, the influence of our parents in fostering our strong connection, and the importance of maintaining these relationships while aiming to cultivate similar bonds in our future families. As we navigate significant life changes, we discuss the complex emotions and dynamics that arise when siblings reach major events at different times. We also address the idea of comparison between siblings, especially in relationships and personal milestones, and the invaluable support we provide each other during difficult times. Tune in for a heartfelt and engaging conversation that beautifully captures the essence of our sibling connection along with some unforgettable stories from our childhood.
