Barry sat down and really dove deep on his reflection of life in the USMC on deployment, adjusting to civilian life and turning to unhealthy coping through alcohol, toxic relationships, divorce, and single parenting his nonverbal autistic son, reinventing himself through the pandemic, PTSD and night terrors, and finding his purpose at his lowest. 

Even though he spoke on so many things, I feel like there is still so much to unpack in future episodes of the Sibling Trap Podcast.

Katrina sat down and gave the elevator version of her life thus far.
At 33 years old, she's got a lot to talk about, starting with leaving home at 17 years old for the big city, her time as a high-profile nanny, becoming a stay-at-home mom, and experiencing two very different births, dabbling in MLM options and starting her own business, her divorce journey and gentle parenting style, all while staying optimistic and resilient.
