This Glorious Mess

Hand in Your Busy Badge

The bond between sisters is a unique mix of fierce loyalty and the ability to argue over just about anything. But when someone you love is in danger, that bond becomes unwavering.

In this episode of Little Love Stories, we explore the extraordinary bond between sisters Grace and Lil O'Connell. When Lil fell critically ill with meningococcal disease on Christmas Day 2017, her life was on the line. After weeks in the ICU, she pulled through, only to face kidney failure. In a twist of fate, her perfect donor match—and her greatest support—was her sister Grace.

Little Love Stories: Two Siblings, One Kidney & The Ultimate Act of Sisterhood

Having a child fundamentally changes your world. It’s a beautiful transformation that brings wonderful new experiences, but it also alters the dynamics of your relationships, including friendships.

In this week’s episode, Tegan and Annaliese reflect on how their friendships have evolved through different seasons, including those that have come back around, as well as the new connections formed through parenthood.

Plus, Sarah Marie dives into what might be the best family drama of all time, all sparked by a rather interesting choice of baby name.
