Last Kid Standing

This episode starts with the usual sister chaos: workout plans, upcoming tattoos, and a debate about whether exercise is secretly a scam that unfortunately works. But underneath the laughter, Sarah and Amanda dive into a childhood experience that shaped them both in very different ways. What happens when you're the last kid standing, waiting to be picked up? Amanda shares memories of being left waiting after practices, lessons, and activities, never quite sure when someone was coming for her. Together, the sisters explore how seemingly ordinary childhood experiences can create lifelong patterns around anxiety, hypervigilance, reliability, and trust. From parentification and nervous systems to raising kids who actually feel safe and loved, this conversation examines the ways we unconsciously build our adult lives around the wounds we are still trying to heal. Sometimes healing looks like understanding why you're always early. Sometimes it looks like becoming the parent you needed. And sometimes it looks like realizing that the child you once were is finally getting what they deserved all along. Follow us on Instagram @iymn_podcast and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
