In this special, full-circle episode, I’m joined once again by my very first guest, my brother, who also happens to be one of my best friends. From Thanksgiving chaos to deep, unexpected moments of reflection, this conversation is filled with laughter, honesty, and heart. We talk about his life, his likes and dislikes, his unique perspective on the world, and the lessons he’s taught me — especially patience, presence, and slowing down in a fast-paced world. He opens up about living with autism and an intellectual disability, while also showing just how independent, funny, insightful, and capable he truly is. From Episode 2 to Episode 26, this moment feels symbolic. A reminder of where I started, who has always believed in me, and why this journey matters. This one is for the siblings, the caregivers, the advocates, the misunderstood, and anyone who could use a little more empathy, laughter, and love in their day.
