Split is a podcast about twinhood, identity, growth, and becoming. Hosted by identical twin sisters Sam and Meg, Split explores what it means to come from the same roots while evolving into entirely different people. After growing up side by side with deeply mirrored identities, the sisters now live on opposite ends of the world — one in Canada, one in South America — and use their weekly conversations to reflect on who they were, who they are becoming, and how their bond continues to shift with time, distance, love, and self-discovery. Through honest, intimate, and often funny conversations, Sam and Meg talk about twinhood, family, relationships, spirituality, womanhood, attachment, philosophy, personal growth, and the strange beauty of staying deeply connected while learning how to stand fully as individuals. Part sister catch-up, part self-growth conversation, and part exploration of identity, Split is for anyone who has ever wondered how we become ourselves — especially in relation to the people who have known us the longest.

    Twin Myths, Mischief, and the Evil Twin Problem

    Twin Interrogation: What We Really Think of Each Other

    After two more serious episodes, we decided to lighten things up with a little twin interrogation. Armed with a handful of questions chosen from a list of 200, we ask each other what we learned growing up together, how we would describe one another, which twin stereotypes make us deeply uncomfortable, and what we secretly think we do better. What begins as a playful question-and-answer episode becomes a surprisingly revealing conversation about vulnerability, integrity, competition, shared dreams, and the subtle ways we have shaped each other throughout our lives. In this episode: What we learned from each other while growing upHow Meg influenced Sam’s sense of integrity and compassionHow Sam taught Meg to be more vulnerable and less afraid of embarrassmentThe three adjectives we believe best describe each otherThe sexualization of twins—and why that particular stereotype bothers usThe superpowers we would choose, from talking to animals to becoming a nature goddessThe small but telling ways we approach cooking, physical challenges, and emotions differentlyOur shared dream of creating healing spaces, retreats, and meaningful experiencesAdventures we would love to have together, including travelling, diving with great white sharks, and facilitating retreatsThe things we secretly believe we do better than the otherCompetition, athleticism, storytelling, singing, and Sam’s questionable seasoning standardsWhy neither of us seems to remember nearly as much of our childhood as we expectedTimestamps: 01:49 — Why we wanted to record a lighter, more playful episode02:21 — What we learned from each other growing up06:48 — Describing each other using three adjectives11:26 — The twin misconception that quietly—or not so quietly—bothers us13:41 — The superpowers we would choose16:40 — What we each do differently and believe is the better approach21:25 — The dreams that feel too big or vulnerable to talk about25:53 — Experiences and adventures we would love to share27:42 — What we secretly think we do better than each other32:26 — What we learned from the conversation—and where all our childhood memories went33:52 — Final thoughts and goodbyeConnect with us: Sam on Instagram: @samara_del_sol Meg on Instagram: @meg_hipkin This episode is a lighter look at our relationship, but it also reveals how deeply we have influenced one another.

    Understanding Twin Dynamics and Codependency: A Conversation

    In this episode of Split, Meg and Sam explore the closeness, comfort, and challenges of growing up as identical twins. They reflect on the deep support that comes with having someone who understands you so completely, while also unpacking the ways twin dynamics can blur boundaries, shape identity, and make independence feel intimidating. From learning to form friendships separately to confronting comparison, hyperfixation, and the need for approval, this is an honest conversation about growing alongside someone—and learning how to grow on your own. They also share how living apart has helped them build confidence, trust themselves more deeply, and appreciate their connection from a healthier place.
