Mike has his sister onboard! What a privilege it was to talk to her on his TCK podcast. They briefly discuss her struggle to adjust as a middle schooler moving to Thailand as a child (2:20). She then answers the ridiculous question (3:50), which sparks Mike's repeated mentioning of a mysterious Turkish disident (5:10) hiding in the US. She then shares her spiritual journey to be at peace with the idea of staying in the US (5:50). She surprises her brother with a reentry program story he didn't know and they compare their experiences (8:30). They then open up about their sibling relationship (10:00), the lack of fights, the redemption of The Little Mermaid, and her search for a funny story to share about Mike. She settles on a good one (13:00). They then get into the peculiarities of marrying a non-TCK (16:45) and some comments about watching them navigate cross-cultural environments (20:00). Finally, of course, they talk about what it is like for her to have 9 children and the theory busting, counter cultural phenomenon that it is (22:20), touching on how values shift with a large family (26:30).
