33: When You Want a Glimpse of the Good + Hard Moments Of Being a Twin - Samantha Molenda

Oct 14, 2019

Recently, by somewhat unfortunate circumstances, I had the opportunity to do something I never thought I would get to do in my lifetime – to be roommates with my twin sister, Samantha Molenda, in our adult years. As I’ve been sharing more of the behind-the-scenes of our twin/sisterhood life, there’s been a lot of curiosity around our relationship, as well as the parallels and differences in our lives, such as Sam’s relationship with food versus mine.

In this episode, we’re breaking it down for you! If you submitted a question in advance for this episode, tune in because we answered all of them!

In this episode we discuss:

• Our birth story (with a huge crazy twist!)
• What it’s been like living together as adults 
• How Sam is different from Rach
• Friends groups as twins: different or shared?
• Sam’s relationship with food and her growing up versus Rach’s
• How Sam responded to Rach’s eating disorder 
• Sam’s experience as the “thinner twin”
• Advice for parents of twins and what we [think] our parents wish they knew
• The time Rach threw water in Sam’s face 
• Sam’s “twin telepathy” moment when Rach’s house burnt down
• Sam’s experience of our parent’s divorce versus Rach’s
• Comparison syndrome as twins
• Navigating disagreements as twins and sisters
• What Duncan thinks of Sam
