SPECIAL GUEST ALERRRRTTTT! Yay, so in today's episode Simi and I talk about being the oldest child/sibling in our family and what it means to us. Simi and I met toward the end of middle school and stayed close ever since. In the episode, we also talk about sibling dynamics with the youngest and middle siblings.

Simi and I had similar thoughts on a lot of things, such as how we feel the need to protect our younger siblings to avoid the mistakes we made and balancing parental expectations.
I loved recording this episode because I was able to reflect on how my traits as the oldest child in my family correlate to my role and personality within my friend groups and friendships.
Some topics we talked about:
- lessons we’ve learned from being the oldest
- stereotypes for oldest, middle and youngest children
- how birth order translates to roles in friendships 
- oldest child responsibilities 
- soft skills associated with being the oldest
- responsibility 
- personality
