Talking on the uniqueness of the transition to marriage as identical twins with the Mystic Sisters (check out their channel @ https://youtube.com/channel/UCZSX1rfVqMkq5Sf8HT45UOg).

In this episode we discuss the transition for twins into marriage. For most people, especially living in more individualist-focused cultures marriage is a movement from a self-focus to shared-focus but for close identical twins, there already exists a shared-focus in the twinship. Join us as we explore some of the unique aspects of moving into a marriage relationship given the preceding and extensive experience as a duo!
Last week we began a conversation about attention and this week we delve deeper into what informs what we attend to. How does understanding identity and purpose guide our attention of ourselves and the world around us? Listen for musing on this question and so much more!!
Being identical twins who dressed alike until high school, you can imagine we received a lot of attention growing up especially from people we didn’t know…we welcomed it but realize not everyone likes the same level of attention. Today we explore our varying but shared need for attention as human beings and some of the underpinnings of this need. As always, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out here or @weenstyandrexy 🥳
