You don't realize the glue that holds your family together until they're gone.
What happens when two cousins, who have lived eerily similar lives, finally sit down to share their stories? In this episode of 'The Lighter Side with Jay', host Jay Casale welcomes his cousin Angela Benedict, a YouTuber with a following of around 50,000. Despite their separate paths, Jay and Angela have always stayed in touch but just out of reach, living parallel lives filled with common experiences and shared struggles.
With the holidays around the corner, Jay and Angela take this opportunity to reflect on their pasts, diving into childhood trauma and the impact of growing up with a parent battling addiction. Their conversation is a poignant reminder of how family ties can provide both challenges and support. They discuss how these shared experiences have shaped their lives and the resilience they’ve built along the way.

Listeners will find this episode both heartwarming and thought-provoking, offering a sense of hope and solidarity.
Jay and Angela's candid discussion highlights the power of resilience and the importance of family support, especially during challenging times. It's a touching reminder that even when life throws its hardest punches, we can find strength in our connections with those we love.
