This week, we take a close look at how caregiving reshapes the most important relationships in our lives — starting with our siblings. In Part 1 of this conversation, we reflect on how the weight of caregiving has shifted the way we communicate, divide responsibilities, and show up for one another as sisters.
From childhood dynamics resurfacing to new roles being formed, we talk candidly about the tensions, tenderness, and transformation that caregiving brings to sibling bonds. We also touch on how these shifts ripple out into our broader family structure, including the evolving relationship with our mom and how we each cope differently with grief and change.
This one’s for anyone trying to hold their family together while navigating the cracks — with a little humor, a lot of love, and the real talk we wish we heard more often.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
