  • It’s really all about you?

    Found the story mostly interesting and her dynamic with her siblings was sweet and they seem great. But I couldn’t believe how she handled when her family invited the brothers to thanksgiving….they’re their family too, and they had to ask your permission? She completely changed how I saw her—she made them all about her. And she literally said at one point after she met them that this story wasn’t about them, it’s about her. I think Holly needs to do some self reflection and realize these two peo... more

  • Compelling but at what cost

    The whole sitcom concept, the little sitcom skits, the CRAZY story, (plus the dad’s songs) are fun and why I enjoyed this show. The narration however left a lot to be desired (if you struggle with comedy leaning on very extremely overt over-the-top “millennial cringe”) and it could’ve been a looooot funnier. But overall a worth a listen…I think?

  • Fun listen

    This show was such a surprise that I started to listening to solely because it was rated one of the top Apple podcasts. I was not disappointed and listened to every episode back to back! Holly takes such serious topics and brings them to life in a way that definitely keeps your attention. It’s the most unique podcast I’ve ever listened to.

  • The best emotional roller coaster

    My parents are both still alive, but the parallels to Southern Californian parents abducted by addiction sees me in my late 30s bawling in my kitchen over a comfort food meal I learned to cook at 9 feeling seen in the most beautiful way. Thanks. For real.
