Welcome back to the second episode of our “Sibling Sit-Down” series, where we’re exploring sibling relationships and all the factors that shape the emotional dynamics created between them. Today, we're joined by Támara Hill, licensed clinical child and family therapist who has built an online platform by making mental health information accessible to the masses. We’re getting into questions like, what happens when siblings fall into familiar roles? How can parents nurture healthy relationships among their children? And what can adult siblings do to heal old wounds and strengthen their bonds? With so many elements in the mix, no one set of siblings has the same relationship as another.

This week, we're kicking off a new mini-series here on the podcast that we're calling The Sibling Sit Down. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be digging into the bonds that have formed us and shaped us, the relationships that challenge us, and everything in between. We have found that the relationship with our siblings is often very formative — some of the most formative relationships we will have in our lives.

We don't talk about them that much, and so we're hoping that with this mini-series, we can change that narrative just a little. In this first episode, it's an Ask Dr. Joy episode where I will be answering questions that have been submitted by our community members over in our Patreon channel.

Ask Dr. Joy is typically an exclusive Patreon series, but we thought we'd bring it over here to the podcast to kick off this special mini-series all about siblings.

Today, we're tackling three powerful questions:

• How do you navigate grief while honoring the bond you had with a sibling?
• How do you build healthy bonds in blended families with new siblings?
• How do you heal a volatile or contentious sibling relationship?

This week we’re celebrating two iconic albums that have shaped the sound and soul of a generation, Erykah Badu’s Mama’s Gun and Jill Scott’s Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1, both turning 25 this year. Joining us for this nostalgic and soul-filled conversation is Taryn Finley, journalist and founder of the Unbothered platform. During this conversation, we explore how these albums captured the essence of Black womanhood, love, sensuality, and self-discovery, and why they remain powerful touchstones for healing and self-expression today. We also talk about the emotional honesty both artists brought to their music and how their art continues to inspire new generations to embrace softness, vulnerability, and joy.
