229: Adult Sibling Relationships: How We Became Close Despite Our Differences (feat. my brother, Jim Oliver)
Today my older brother Jim and I get brutally honest about what it really takes to stay close as adult siblings—especially as siblings who used to fight nonstop. We look back on the tension of our teen years, the New York City chapter of our lives that bonded us through 2 for 1 martinis, and how losing our mom brought us closer instead of pulling us apart. There's a lot of forgiveness, letting go of who your sibling used to be, and going out of the way to stay close year after year. I think you'll really enjoy this candid conversation where we truly don't hold back!
