Episode 18: Rain Falls Life Lessons and Literary Escapes

Sisters Declassified Life Survival Guide: Two sisters with four daughters; dishing drama, trauma and survival tips for the everyday.

As the skies opened up, unleashing a deluge upon San Diego, our little community found itself grappling with unexpected floodwaters. It's these moments of chaos, intermingled with the warmth of a support group forged in the fires of COVID, that we unpack in our latest conversation. Reading books, critical thinking and influential reads that shaped our lives are the focus of this episode.
Join us as we navigate the labyrinth of health treatments, from the costly medicines that barely make a dent in our ailments to the quest for compassionate care amidst the prickly process of allergy testing. And, as we turn the pages on our educational journeys, with insights into special education, and shine a light on the profound impact of self-directed learning and nurturing innate curiosity in students.
Lastly, pour yourself a drink (hold the Diet Coke), and settle in as we explore the transformative power of reading. From the courageous tale of Charlotte Doyle to the motivational words of Jen Sincero, we highlight books that stir the soul and provoke thought far beyond the fleeting scrolls of TikTok feeds. As we share baking triumphs and the creative release found in the kitchen, we also unpack the controversies and complexities surrounding that ubiquitous fizzy beverage. It's a blend of heartfelt stories, laughter, and a dash of skepticism that invites you to reconsider, reflect, and perhaps even reshape your perspectives.
