👭 What’s the role of a sister in your life? From childhood hero worship to sibling rivalries, our relationships with our sisters shape us in ways we don’t always realise.

This week on English and Beyond, I reflect on the unique bond between siblings, with a special focus on my own older sister—affectionately named Jeanne for this episode. Joined by regular co-host César, we explore the complexities of sibling relationships:

🎧 Inside the episode:
💡 Why are sibling relationships so powerful and long-lasting?
👀 How does having an older sister influence your personality?
🏆 Sibling rivalry: is it all bad, or can it push us to succeed?
🤝 The fine line between being a sibling and a role model
🎭 How do sibling bonds compare to friendships or parent-child relationships?

With heartfelt anecdotes, humour, and honest reflections, this episode is a love letter to the people who have known us for a lifetime.
