In this special Q&A episode, Eleisha and Ali take a detour from the usual low-waste living content and head straight for the compost heap of childhood memories. With a baby due any day and podcast prep time at a premium, the sisters serve up a relaxed and hilariously revealing walk—or, more accurately, waddle—down memory lane.
From posing as statues on neighborhood walks to battling over Beanie Babies, and debating who really got away with more, this episode is a heartwarming mix of sibling dynamics, family traditions, and the kind of laughter that leaves you a little breathless (especially if you’re very pregnant).
Key Takeaways
- Closed-Loop Childhoods: Turns out, growing up together is the original version of reuse—shared clothes, shared toys, shared trauma.
- The Troll Fairy Was Real: Fight us.
- Sustainability, Sentimentality & Siblinghood: A reminder that what lasts isn’t the stuff—it’s the stories.
- Life Lessons from a Low-Waste Lens: Dumpster diving, curbside pickups, and a staunch aversion to knickknacks—some habits stick.
