In season 1, we explore Holly's massive family secret. When she was just 17, Holly Brown’s dad was dying of cancer. It looked like life couldn’t get more traumatic, until her dad dropped a bombshell….or two bombshells, really: twin brothers that her entire family kept secret.

  • Creative and Inspiring

    This podcast found me at the right time! I too have been toying with art as a mechanism for emotional processing and connection. I found myself relating strongly to the FEELINGS Holly and others in her family experienced, even though I did not have the same experiences as Holly and her family. Great work!

  • Narrator is insufferable

    The story may be compelling but I didn’t make it past Holly and her obnoxious sister - they speak like teenage girls and Holly has an obnoxious tendency to set the stage like a theater kid. It’s all very juvenile. I don’t need to hear six examples of sitcom dads to remember the 90s. Get to the point and learn to tell stories in a more concise way.

Episode 4 - The One With Evan Ayers' Celebrity Intervention
Q: What was the moment you realized you needed help and that your life was spiraling?

Episode 1 - The One With Valerie Tosi's DNA Plot Twist
Q: If you could live in a sitcom world, what sitcom would you live in and why?
Valerie says The Nanny and I Love Lucy were influential, preferring outlets with humor and comfort, but she ultimately leans toward settings that combine wealth, warmth, and playful chaos, like The Nanny and I Love Lucy adapted in a way that fits her life experience.
Episode 9 - The One With Dana Gould's Fictional Father
Q: What role did humor play in helping you cope with family trauma?
Humor provided a framework to process pain, offering a way to connect with others while also protecting the speaker from being overwhelmed by memories; it helped turn difficult experiences into relatable stories that can heal.
