About this episode

Send us a text

In this episode of the Level: Asian Podcast, we break down the roles and responsibilities we carry amongst our siblings, how we live into our stereotypical traits, and unlearning our roles within the family to allow our siblings to grow. 

Kan and Viv share their experiences growing up with the ‘first’ version of their parents, juggling with their dual roles to manage the parental and sibling emotional burden, and how they have started sharing the burden with the siblings, while Noel reflects his childhood as an only child and his desires to have a sibling to grow up with. 

Davie opens up about his family’s sibling dynamics, from being the youngest, carefree, and playful sibling, to the struggles of constantly being overlooked and now being the ‘breadwinner’ of the household.
