Best Days of Our Lives!

About this episode

Sisters Michelle and Kimberly reflect on the best times of their lives, exploring the importance of community and personal growth through shared experiences.

The Best Years of Our Lives (Spoiler: It’s Not the Yearbook, It’s the People) Sisters Michelle and Kimberly look back at the “best times” of their lives and try to reverse-engineer the magic. Not in a woo-woo way. In a nerd way. Like charting life on a Gantt chart or mapping out major life events on a timeline for church and alcohol addiction treatment purposes that get uncomfortably honest, fast. They revisit childhood summers at their permissive California grandparents’ house (donuts, game shows, no parents, and yes… a funeral for a shredded fan). Then they jump to why late high school hit so hard: drama/choir weirdos, cliques, the quad, the quarry lore, and a choir director (Ms. G.) who basically raised teenagers—and got them singing with Rosemary Clooney. They hit other peak chapters too: a Berkeley neuroscience PhD, a seminary internship year that felt like instant family, messy pregnancies, and the real-life upgrade of cutting toxic people (including via divorce). The through-line: community, choosing your circle, learning who you are, and how their sister bond is a highlight of today, another best time of their lives.
