🎙️ Fine, But Busy — A Mini Whiplash Episode
We’re not ghosting you, we swear — we’re just fine, but busy.

This snack-sized mini episode is packed with listener-submitted stories about sisterhood: the petty, the iconic, and the straight-up criminal (emotionally, anyway). From ruined tattoos to ghosted weddings, it’s a chaotic tribute to the weird, wild bond only sisters understand.

It’s short. It’s spicy. It’s a little unhinged.
You know — classic us.

We’re not fine — but we’re working toward better, not bitter.

We wrangled the elusive middle sister — and she’s exactly what you’d expect from the family’s center lane: low drama, high function, and maybe a little too well-adjusted. In this episode, we finally bring Kyrsten into the chaos to compare sister dynamics, birth order weirdness, and just how differently we all experienced the same childhood. (Spoiler: wildly differently.)

We talk about the good, the bad, and the “wait, were we even raised by the same people?” stuff that only sisters can get into without ending up in a full-on brawl. Lightning round questions fly, laughs are had, and we start to understand why Kyrsten has always been the Switzerland of our family.

Just three sisters talking some solid sister shit.

We’re not fine — but we’re working towards better, not bitter.

Welcome to the family drama! In this episode, we’re spilling the sister tea—birth order trauma, years of silence, and that awkward "are we friends now?" phase that hits in adulthood. Emily (resident eldest daughter and bossy therapist) and Jesse (chaotic youngest and family flight risk) get real about how their six-year age gap and wildly different upbringings made for a rocky ride to sisterhood.

We cover:

• Why being the oldest is basically a full-time job (with no benefits)
• What made Jesse dip out on the whole family for years
• How betrayal, loyalty, and shared trauma built a bond we didn’t see coming
• And the weird joy of reconnecting with your sibling… as grown-ass women

Oh—and This Week in Emotional Whiplash is back, obviously.

It’s honest. It’s messy. It’s us.
We’re not fine, but we’re working towards better, not bitter.
