Alana discusses the trials and tribulations of being twelve with braces and trying to convince venue bouncers her fake I.D. was real, as well as being called “coat hanger” by a wolf pack of elementary school bullies for holding their coats to people please, while they played on the jungle gym.
Also, Este shares all the deliciously embarrassing deets of her super awesome rollerskating Bat Mitzvah party attire (that involved overalls and hot pink lip smackers gloss). In addition to detailing her past obsession and disappointingly awful recent encounter with her middle school crush Isaac (not his real name).
This episode of Free Period goes to show that when it comes to incredibly relatable cringe-worthy moments — the HAIM sisters are just like us. No seriously, we just listed a few, so to listen and no doubt laugh and connect to the rest, press play on the full episode above.
Besties Sasha Spielberg and Alana Haim take a weekly trip back in time to explore their most awkward stage, and they call it, Free Period. A podcast where they talk braces, acne, a time where achieving a first kiss might as well be as easy as discovering an element on a periodic table, and your bar mitzvah theme was the most important decision of your life. They divulge their most embarrassing stories from this, the most frightening years of their lives that made them the women they are today. They also bring along their friends and family to tell their own stories of heartbreak and embarrassment because a throwback + FML is what everyone loves.
