We are honored today to be joined by playwright and graduating MFA student Cyntha Ochoa as she shares with the world how it's never too late to follow your dreams. Cynthia tells the incredible story of how she went from being pulled out of high school at age 15 to pursuing a Master's degree nearly four decades later. She discusses being bullied as a child and early hardships growing up in Mexico with a single mother, the fear she experienced when she decided to pursue her GED, and what inspired her to go to college. Cynthia also talks about her creative process, how she learned to have confidence in herself, and what it was like seeing her groundbreaking play "Broken Shells" onstage.

Ashley's sick again during today's episode of It's A Twin Thing, but that doesn't stop Aspen from embarrassing her in a harder-than-in-seems spelling bee! Aspen and Ashley ruminate over the proper length of time to hold a door open and give a PSA to men about holding doors for women. They also debate whether easy Mac and Cheese is actually easy, Aspen shares her disgusting childhood cooking experiment with cheese, and they wonder why people always call them Amber and Autumn. Plus, Aspen talks about knee braces for six minutes straight, Ashley spells chrysanthemum wrong, and we share our USC admission and graduation videos from last week's challenge!

Aspen and Ashley are about to *not* graduate from USC as they share why they think they've brought a curse upon their class to cause their high school and college graduations to be cancelled. Aspen ponders whether skipping a grade threw off the universe, and Ashley convinces Aspen that she didn't cause COVID. Ashley interrupts the podcast to tell everyone how good her hair smells, and we debate which toiletries are appropriate to share and whether it's worse to use your mom's or your sister's razor. Aspen also gives bad advice on awkward social interactions, we reminisce on our favorite college memories, and Ashley plays the piano for last week's challenge.

It's double the fun on today's episode of Twinspiration, where we (finally) get to interview other identical twins! Kristen and Kari are both nurses and firm believers in the twin bond. We ask them about everything we've always wondered if it's a "twin thing" or an "us thing," and they share the highs and lows of being twins. We talk trying to be your own person and create your own identity, twin rivalry, and the challenge of being apart from each other. We also relate about the weird things people ask us, compare twin trickery stories, and discuss marriage and family life as twins.
