Anna and Alexandra, armed with their witty, fun banter, are here to chat about anything and everything with refreshing realness. Though they have been mistaken as a couple before, they really are sisters (from the same parents) and truly are Russian (no, they are not Communists). Anna, a school counsellor and mom of 2 fur babies, and Alexandra, a widowed mom to a toddler, bring some laughter to life's ups and downs while giving the listener a welcomed break from the mundane chats and daily to-do lists.

Anna Goes to the Doctor
This week, Anna shares an update about her dental hygiene and recent experience with medical professionals at urgent care. Alexandra dives into a discussion about nature versus nurture and questions how to overcome or not let nature dictate one’s life. They briefly touch in grammar and ask that everyone please stop using text speak in professional documents. And because it is tax season in the United States, Anna shares some budgeting tips. Enjoy the STW joke of the day and know you are not alone!

Levity, Love and Laughs
Today Anna and Alexandra want to bring a bit more levity after a few intense weeks. Anna shares how it was in fact book club who took out the cone in Alexandra’s neighborhood. Alexandra’s windshield wipers are broken as is her spirit after trying to tackle making a Valentine’s box for Buddy for school. More National Geographic moments including bald eagles for the sisters. You can travel with them around the world as they share international Valentine’s Day traditions. Something that doesn’t encourage love is Sam Smith’s song Unholy but following Dan Harris’ suggestions for meditation in his book 10% Happier does. Have a great week and you are not alone!

Customer Reviews
Great listen, so honest!
It feels as if I’m hanging out with two of my friends while I’m listening. They are both so open and honest, which is so refreshing.
Two thumbs up
The Russian Sisters is a great podcast for podcast newbies and veterans. I was not a podcast listener until TRS and now eagerly await each episode. They cover a variety of fun and difficult topics with humor, honesty, first-hand experiences, and most importantly, without judgment. Anna & Alexandra are fun, insightful, helpful, & a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommend for all.
Great podcast!
Funny and insightful, this is a must listen for anyone!
