In this episode, the Braga sisters get real about the stuff we didn’t talk about growing up—mental health, anxiety, conflict, and “I love yous.” We share stories from childhood (Friday spelling-test stomachaches, anyone?), how those patterns show up in adulthood, and what it looks like to set boundaries with family and clients. We also talk about gentle parenting (for toddlers and coworkers), why conflict felt “off-limits,” and how we’re trying to raise emotionally literate kids now. Plus: a merch update—limited-run vinyl stickers are here, and mugs are back in stock.
