Better Than A Mirror
by acuvel
Welcome to "Better Than a Mirror," where my identical twin sister, Annai, and I, Aimee, share our extraordinary journey with you. Although separated by geographical distances due to our current endeavors, our profound connection remains unbreakable. Annai is not just my best friend; she's also my inspiring teacher, and the fact that we're identical twins adds an extra layer of magic to our bond. This podcast is our platform to open up our conversations to the world because we genuinely enjoy them, and we're convinced that you will too. We believe that life is meant to be experienced together.

Two years ago, well, almost three, Aimee said yes. Yes to him, yes to marriage, and yes to now. This time, I’m the one saying yes. I answer the same questions Aimee did when she got engaged. Disclaimer: I think a lot, but I speak poorly! I hope I did Rafa some justice, and I hope you enjoy!
