Podcast appearances and mentions of sam allen

At first, I thought I was doing great with college drop-off (I even bragged to my girlfriends about making it two whole days without tears.) But the adrenaline has started to wear off. Suddenly, weekends feel hollow without our family's Sunday routine. Turns out it's not just the drop-off that's tough, it's the days after when the quiet gets louder. That's why Penn and I are so grateful to sit down with New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and speaker Gretchen Rubin, one of my favorite voices on happiness and habits this week. Gretchen says this season isn't an “empty nest,” it's an open door—a time of possibility, connection, and, yes, some grief mixed with growth. We talk about how to cope when the wine and cake aren't cutting it, how to replace old family traditions with new ones, and why weekends can feel especially heavy. Gretchen also gives us permission to create new rituals, like her idea of a buffercation—a post-drop-off trip that softens the blow.We also dive into parenting identities, the joy (and limits) of constant kid updates, and why sometimes one parent has to cry while the other holds it together. It's heartfelt, it's hopeful, and yes, there are squirrel picnic tables involved. So if you're in the stage of life where the house feels too quiet, this episode might just help you reframe it—not as an ending, but as an open door to what's next.

The Mariners were left frustrated by stubborn opposition for a second home game running on Saturday, Justin Amaluzor's injury time equaliser rescuing a point against Cambridge Utd. The panel dissect a disjointed performance devoid of any real quality and debate whether it was “just one of those days” or if there are any underlying concerns with our performances at home. They then discuss Artell's and the players in game management, whether there is a perceived lack of a Plan B at present and how much another poor reffereeing display contributed to our downfall. In the second half of the show the guys turn their attention to Tuesday nights 3rd Round Carabao Cup tie at Sheffield Wednesday, a club currently in turmoil on and off the pitch and then Bees fan and sports writer Trevor Knell joins the conversation to help preview Town's trip to newly promoted Barnet on Saturday…+++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Sam Allen and Trevor Knell.Subscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

Being a parent in youth sports is… a lot. One day you're cheering on your kid for picking clovers in the outfield, the next you're asking yourself: “Is my kid… special?” and googling special clinics in the area. We've been through the highs and lows, and that's why we were so excited to sit down with former NFL All-Pro and award-winning broadcaster Greg Olsen in today's show. Greg is on a mission to make youth sports healthier and more balanced through his platform Youth Inc. He knows both sides of the game: he was part of that 0.02% who actually made it to the pros, and now he's a dad coaching kids in today's pressure-packed youth leagues.We talk about what's broken (spoiler: it's mostly us parents), how to keep sports fun for kids, and what Greg would do if he were the “czar” of youth sports. He also shares how he personally dealt with career setbacks (yes, even after Super Bowls and broadcast booths), and why the real goal in sports isn't the scholarship or the contract—it's the process of showing up and growing. Stay tuned for Penn's Top 5 Changes to Youth Sports at the end. Maybe you'll start keeping Penn points for your kids games!

Oh friends, we did it. We officially dropped our daughter off at college, and let me tell you—it was a rollercoaster of emotions I wasn't totally prepared for. From the frantic week of packing command strips and last-minute Target runs, to the heartbreaking last night at home when both kids ended up crying in our bed, this season of life has been full of tears, laughter, and a whole lot of love.In this episode, Penn and I share what those first few days after drop-off really felt like (Spoiler: I “took to the bed” for two days in the words of Leanne Morgan), the random little things that triggered my tears (like buying three airline tickets instead of four), and how our community's comments and calls reminded me that healthy birds leave the nest. We also talk about the surprising perks of this new stage of life and the silly distractions that are helping us cope, from cookie cakes and dance classes to discovering the world's greatest '90s radio station.Most of all, this conversation is about feeling everything—the joy, the loss, the pride, and the love. If you've been through a college drop-off (or are bracing for one), I hope our reflections—and a few laughs—make you feel a little less alone. Also a giant hug to our community here on Laugh Lines that wrote us the nicest notes and left the sweetest voicemails. Thank you so much.

If you've ever screamed “I TOOK MY MEDICINE!” just to remember you actually took it—then you're in good company with today's episode. Today on Laugh Lines, Penn and I share some of the most unhinged (and surprisingly brilliant) ADHD hacks from our listeners, the internet, and our own chaotic household. We also sit down with Dr. Amelia Kelley, author of Powered by ADHD, who helps us untangle why ADHD so often hides in plain sight—especially in women.I'll be honest: parts of this conversation got personal for me. I found myself recognizing symptoms I've always chalked up to hormones or “just anxiety,” and it was emotional to wonder if maybe I've been missing something all along. (Do Penn and I both have ADHD?) We talk about how ADHD can present as anxiety and all the masking women do that hinders their diagnosis. Sometimes the most important thing isn't having all the answers—it's realizing you're not alone in how you feel.So come laugh with us about apron-tight cooking hacks and stick around while we unpack under-diagnosed ADHD in women. We also take some great Laugh Line calls and define a Gen Z slang from a listener suggestion.

We are so excited because this week we sit down with the fabulous Stacy London (yes, that Stacy London!) for some fashion therapy. Stacy London became a household name from the show What Not to Wear, but now she has now given us permission to toss the “rules” and wear whatever the heck we want. We talked about everything from Gen X “uniforms” (hello quarter-zips and yoga pants) to how our bodies shift in midlife and leave us without a style identity. Stacy reminds us that middle age isn't an expiration date—it's a renaissance. And fashion, at its best, is less about rules and more about joy and compassion for ourselves. (I told you it was fashion therapy.) Ps. Check out her new show Wear Whatever the F You Want with Clinton Kelly on Amazon Prime! It's great!And because it wouldn't be our podcast without a little detour, you'll also hear an original song dedicated to Stacy and a hilarious debate about what to call you—our listeners. (Are you Laugh Liners? Laughables? The Laugh Pack? We need your vote.) If you've ever felt stuck in a fashion rut or not sure what shade lavender is (ahem, Penn) this episode is for you.

Grimsby kept up their unbeaten start to the season with two more home wins this week, first putting Shrewsbury to the sword in the Carabao Cup and then beating Newport in the league with goals in the very first and last minute of the game bookending another confident display. The guys start by discussing the strength and depth of the squad, the pleasing impact fringe players and substitutes are starting to have and how missing that clinical edge nearly came back to bite us on Saturday. Talk then turns to stand out individual performances, such as that of match winner Kieran Green who is the physical embodiment of the teams never say die attitude and then the small matter of drawing Man Utd in the second round of the cup! In Part Two, EFL pundit Ed Walker joins the show to help preview The Mariners next two games against Walsall and Accrington and then gives his opinion on how Artell's men have started the campaign, which Town player he is most excited about and which teams in League Two have impressed, disappointed and surprised him the most so far. +++ Hosted and produced by Chris Mills with guests Paul Savage, Sam Allen and Ed WalkerSubscribe to our mailing list for weekly bonus content - https://mailchi.mp/41dfa5ea31ac/view-from-the-findus Order our first ever VFTF merchandise, a unisex t-shirt, via our website - https://viewfromthefindus.wordpress.comFollow us on X or Instagram; the handle for both is @VFTFindus or get in touch with the show via email - viewfromthefindus@gmail.com Supported by Message in a Bottle - https://www.miabcleethorpes.net or @miabcleethorpes Intro / Outro music - "Weakness" by The Last Of The Wonder Kids - Listen on Spotify Artwork - Alex Chilvers - https://alexchilvers.co.uk or @alexjchilversGraphics - Liam McLennanPhotography - Jon Corken+++ Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever wondered how we can start with weighted vests and end up talking about Viagra… welcome to this week's Laugh Lines. Penn and I are joined by our friend, the amazing Dr. Mary Claire Haver, who gives us the lowdown on bone density, creatine, menopause nutrition, and why getting enough protein sometimes feels like a full-time job. (Seriously, I made cottage cheese dressing recently. Who am I?) We dive into the surprising benefits—and possible dangers—of strapping extra weight to your body, my ongoing quest to stop saying “I'm fine” when I'm really not, and Penn's top five most ridiculous “Where did I leave that?” moments. (Spoiler: One involves leaving a news camera on the side of a highway… a story I've never heard before!)Dr. Mary Claire also teaches us a sleep-saving trick that involves giving your husband a certain little blue pill… yes, seriously. (We cover enough ground for this to qualify this episode as cardio.) So grab your weighted vest, cottage cheese snack, and join us for a laugh-filled, info-packed episode that proves aging might not be easy, but it sure can be entertaining.

Hi, my name is Kim and I don't like to be told what to do. (But I do love your calls!) This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I take your voicemails and unpack everything from Gen Z stares to accidentally breeding super-intelligent squirrels to how “smash” means something very different now. (Sorry, Heather.) Penn also shares what it was like to meet one of his comedy heroes, Weird Al Yankovic, and why “I may get canceled for this…” is never a great sentence starter. Spoiler alert: Penn does it anyway… twice!We discuss wheels on your feet, Tony Hawk doppelgängers, and how Gen Z thinks Nine Inch Nails is a literal hardware situation. Penn and I also need your help naming our Laugh Lines community. (Does Laugh Liners sound too much like Flatliners?) Join us for an always chaotic and fun hang… hard pants not required.

We started this episode with tears, and somehow ended up in outer space. (Welcome to Laugh Lines!) This week, I had a completely unplanned “Menty B” (short for mental breakdown) about our daughter leaving for college. There are feelings. So many feelings. And mascara malfunctions. Then (try not to get whiplash) we take an emotional U-turn to bring on former astronaut and NYT bestselling author, Mike Massimino, to talk about setting big, bold, seemingly impossible goals.Penn really dislikes goal setting, but he loves space. So he felt like an astronaut could help him be a better goal setter. Mike shares the truly wild story of how he overcame three rejections from NASA, trained his eyes to beat the vision test (seriously!), and why collaboration is the best way to achieve your dreams. We also hear from an awesome 13-year-old listener who might just bring back a forgotten podcast segment. So buckle up Laugh Lines listeners, this one's a real journey.

This week on Laugh Lines, we let a very special guest take the mic. Our 15-year-old son, PC Holderness! (And y'all… he did not disappoint.) PC came ready to host games and answer questions from parents on the Laugh Line, all with his signature optimism and cowboy hat… obviously. From prank calls and dial-up internet to egg babies and snap streaks, we put our generations head-to-head to find out who had it harder, “Gen X or Gen Z?” We also take your hilarious voicemails and ask PC what Gen Z considers cringe: Is dancing with your hands in the air too much? What exactly does a 'pick me' mean? And is singing "Living On A Prayer" before the intro is over a crime? Big thanks to PC for joining us. He's kind, thoughtful, and somehow manages to hype up Gen X moms while still defending his own generation's challenges (hey, he knows who listens to these shows!) You do not want to miss this one—it's proof that parenting a teenager can be fun, educational, and humbling all at the same time.

I love aging and also… I get botox. I love my laugh lines (obviously, we named our podcast after them) but I also want to age gracefully. I want to feel like the best version of myself as I get older and sometimes… that means I get a little help from someone with a laser and a medical degree. In this episode of Laugh Lines, we're pulling back the curtain on cosmetic procedures with my very own dermatologist (and not a paid spokesperson!), the amazing Dr. Sue Ellen Cox. Too many people whisper about this stuff when it should be okay to talk about it!In the show, we discuss botox, lasers, fillers, necks, jowls, and even something called “pre-juvenation.” Dr. Cox is a legend in the field—like "clinical trials for the FDA" kind of legend. This episode is for anyone who's botox-curious, laser-curious, or simply wondering what all this stuff actually does. No gatekeeping here—we're being honest about what we've tried and what questions to ask. Be sure to stay tuned for the Oxford comma justice and Gen Z slang confusion this week. Apparently “he cooked” doesn't mean he made dinner, according to our son. (PC even makes an appearance at the end of the show!)

Need a good laugh? We got you. This week, we're talking about the delightfully weird and wonderful things that are making us laugh right now—including squirrels, fart walks, and not caring anymore. (Shout out to Melanie Sanders, the internet legend behind the We Do Not Care Club.) We chat with the hilarious Marilyn Smith, who's gone viral for pioneering the “fart walk” - a post-dinner stroll that's good for your gut, your marriage, and yes, your feminism. We also bring on bird expert Dr. Lauryn Benedict to talk about leveling up our birder game, and if spicy birdseed causes squirrel indigestion. (Penn has concerns.)Plus, Penn shares what's been cracking him up lately—from Japanese game shows to rants from our daughter about the NBA playoff format. (And yes, his love for Tom Cruise running is still going strong.) So if you're craving a good laugh, a little midlife validation, or just need permission to stop caring about visible panty lines (or farting) this one's for you.

We got an email recently looking for advice on how to navigate being married to someone with ADHD when you're experiencing perimenopause. (It was actually hilariously titled “Perimenopause and ADHD Walk Into A Bar…” so stay tuned for a future video on that.) This week on Laugh Lines, we're diving into the chaotic Venn diagram that is living with ADHD and perimenopause — including a full game show with our producer, Sam Allen. Spoiler alert: it's full of brain fog, misplaced purses, hormone-fueled rage, and why I once forgot the word “pothole.” (Not as bad as Penn saying “fish horse” though.)Penn and I also share what it was like being guests on an Oprah, random advice from our listeners, a look into my dating past, and we debate whether the 4pm dance club should be our next business venture.

If your kid is about to launch into the real world and you are holding it together with to-do lists and spreadsheets, this episode is for you. This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I are joined by the always brilliant, always soothing, New York Times Bestselling author, Dr. Lisa Damour. She breaks down what it means to be ready to leave the nest, including must-have life skills, how parents can shift from a do-er to cheer-er (that's a word, right?) and how to have hard talks about sex and drug use. Dr. Lisa also reminds me that it's okay to cry when the to-do list is done. (Cue the tears.) We're also reading some amazing real-world advice from YOU — our hilarious, heartfelt, incredibly wise listeners. You showed up big time in our inbox with tips like having a fracket, observing the syllabus, and “don't be polite to men who creep you out.” (Penn turned that one into a jingle. You're welcome.) We end the episode with discussing questionable first cars, Harry Buffalo, and my new favorite find for college move-in day! What advice did we miss?

You know those random, slightly unhinged opinions you have that make zero sense to other people, but you will defend them no matter what? This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I planting our flags on the silliest and most passionately defended opinions — also known as “the hill you'll die on.” Mine? People who back into parking spaces in busy lots are selfish. (Yes, I said what I said.) We also hit the Laugh Line to hear all your hot takes — from the Oxford comma to pineapple on pizza to why pickles need to calm down.So whether your hill is about cereal being soup, walking protocol on sidewalks, or your refusal to accept the one-space-after-a-period rule (let my spaces live!), you are welcome here. Come for the unhinged opinions, stay for the community of people who forget they're not doing voice-to-text when leaving a voicemail. And stay tuned to the end of the show when Penn reveals his Top 5 hills to determine which he's most passionate about (and provides us a full-blown TED Talk on Top Gun in the process.)

There's this phrase Penn and I say a lot when we're overwhelmed making goofy internet videos—“It's okay, we're not saving lives.” But this week, we talk to a man who actually is saving lives and he needs us to help spread the word. Dr. David Fajgenbaum is the founder of Every Cure, a nonprofit that's on a mission to do something that sounds impossible—use already-approved drugs to treat diseases they weren't originally made for. Diagnosed with Castleman disease, Dr. David refused to accept that there was no cure. So, he saved his own life by repurposing existing medication and now he's on a mission to do the same for others.Using AI to search 75 million possible drug-disease combinations, they're finding things to help with cancer and autism. They are all in clinical trials, but the results are promising. Because the medications are generic, there's no big pharma marketing machine behind them. So they need our help to spread the word. Listen to the show where we hear more about Dr. David's story, his work, as well as, if we are done with movie theaters, college photos, and advice we would give our 40 year old selves.You can learn more about Every Cure here: https://everycure.org/More on the autism clinical trial: https://everycure.org/asd/Want to leave us a message?

Penn and I have a daughter who is graduating high school and going to college in the fall. And I am doing totally fine, except the… chest pains… eye twitches… hair loss… (this is totally normal, right?) I process my emotions through preparation. I plot everything on the calendar and make all the Google Docs. Penn needs to process his emotions through, well… actually feeling them. He knows there's a shift in our family dynamic coming and it's making him sentimental. In this episode of Laugh Lines, we talk about the emotional rollercoaster of parenting a graduating high school senior and some fun distractions that are keeping us laughing. We discuss the chaos of senior sleepovers, why I want to give squirrels hemorrhoids, and we hear from fellow parents navigating this bittersweet season. Whether you're a fellow Gen X parent or just listening to hear how I almost got impaled by a gnome, this episode may make you laugh, cry, or develop an eye twitch too.

This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I take a trip down memory lane with the most unhinged things Gen X did in the 90s. (Seriously… how are we even alive?) If you've ever gotten a late fee at Blockbuster or ridden in the back of a pickup truck without a seatbelt, this episode is for you. Welcome home. We heard from so many listeners who shared amazing stories: homecoming games with a live tiger from the zoo, going on cross-state road trips as teenagers, and even piling 20 college kids into the back of a U-Haul with a keg. (We survived but wow, we did some dumb stuff.)Despite the chaos, there's so much we loved about growing up Gen X. Penn and I discuss our own unhinged memories, take your stories from the laugh line, and even talk about the stuff we should bring back. (Are we not letting kids be as independent now?) Also stay tuned for our special Gen Z 90s translations at the end! Have a story for us? Leave us a voicemail at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.

If you've been here a while, you know your friend Kim walks with anxiety on a daily basis. I often have thought “if I could sleep through the night, eat enough protein, and manage my anxiety and emotions, I'd be unstoppable.” And that's because anxiety has often stopped me — from resting, from focusing, from showing up the way I want to. My brand of anxiety can be debilitating at times. So how can you begin to manage anxiety and emotions?This week we invited our new friend Ethan Kross on the podcast to help give us tips on just that. Ethan is a psychologist, neuroscientist, and director of the Emotion and Self-Control Lab at the University of Michigan. He's also the author of Chatter and Shift, all about taking control of your emotions and the voice in your head. We discuss how distance your self-talk, mentally “time travel” and ways Penn deals with emotional flooding due to ADHD.Stick around until the end when we take a call from the Laugh Line on all-inclusive resorts, talk about borgs, and Penn's favorite new show, Game Changer with Sam Reich.

I have always endorsed my experience with pelvic floor therapy after having kids. It was life-changing, and insurance covered it. (Score.) But what if I told you that pelvic floor therapy wasn't just for women who have had babies? What if I told you pelvic floor therapy could be for men too?This week on the podcast, we talked to Dr. Danielle Owens, a physical therapist and CAPP-Pelvic certified specialist. While pelvic health is typically associated with women, Dr. Owens stresses that men also face pelvic floor dysfunctions and can benefit greatly from therapy. We discuss why pelvic floor therapy is important, and we both work our pelvic floor muscles live on-air. Also, listen if you want to never look at blueberry the same again. (Although very helpful!)We end the show discussing if we are too old for day trips, what a ‘darty' is, and we take more of your calls on the laugh line.

This week, Kim and I have a vulnerable discussion about my risk of Alzheimer's Disease. Three of my four grandparents, my late father, and my mother have all struggled with Alzheimer's and dementia. As I have grown older, the fear of developing it has always been in the back of my mind. But I have something all of my family didn't - new information on how to TRY to prevent it.We are honored to have Dr. Richard Isaacson join us and share his research as one of the leading voices in Alzheimer's disease prevention. Dr. Richard Isaacson is Director of Research at The Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND) and Director of the Precision Prevention Program at Atria Health and Research Institute. His research explores how lifestyle interventions can help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. We discuss everything from how Ozempic may help to what supplements not to take. I also try to keep things light with the "Top 5 Funniest Things About Alzheimer's" at the end of the show (and Kim gives a #NotSponsored endorsement and update on her Road To 50!)

As we age, items have shifted during flight. We're gaining weight in weird places, and Penn is convinced he has bread back. (More on that in the podcast.) But what if everything you thought you knew about metabolism was actually wrong? We sat down with Dr. Herman Pontzer, Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology and Global Health at Duke University, to ask the age-old question: Can you actually boost your metabolism?

Welcome to Laugh Lines! We are so excited to launch this new chapter of our podcast and have you along for the ride. This week, Penn and I break down our best advice for staying married for 20 years (we're too young to be celebrating such a milestone, right?) We also take our first calls from the Laugh Line to hear your input, including some very interesting advice from Kim's Mom. To end the show, we discuss if we are too old for theme parks and what the Gen Z phrase “throwing” means… bonus points if you use it in the sentence with your teen this week.

A year ago, our friend Charlie Berens asked Penn if he would open for him on his national stand-up tour. It was for a show in Durham, and Penn couldn't at the time. (I could tell he was almost relieved!) But when Charlie came back to NC this year and asked again, Penn said yes. To be clear, Penn has never tried stand-up comedy. And to my surprise, he was very nervous! This week we go along on Penn's journey into trying stand-up comedy, including how his performance went. We also bring on our friend and incredible speaker, Page Fehling, for some presentation tips that anyone can use. (You can find out more about Page here.) How did Penn do?

I am so glad we're getting to a place where we don't need to whisper the word "menopause" anymore. As you know, Penn and I have talked openly about my perimenopause journey. This week we have journalist and author (and our friend) Tamsen Fadal on the podcast to talk about her instant New York Times Bestselling book, How To Menopause. Tamsen talks about her story as well as advice from experts on how to reclaim your life during the menopausal years. Menopause is not the end. It's the beginning of something else.

I'm at the point in my life when there is probably more behind me than in front of me. While my default setting seems to put me in a place of depression or anxiety - I'm bizarrely excited about whatever life I have ahead of me. So on this last year before I stand on the doorstep of my 50th birthday - I have a plan. I want to show up to 50 stronger, kinder, and with more joy.

I've always been fascinated by how birth order shapes family dynamics, especially as we navigate this season of parenting. Penn and I are very aware that we don't have many more years “on the record” with our kids. Have we done enough to help them become their best selves? This week, we're chatting with Susan Dominus, an award-winning writer for The New York Times and a journalism professor at Yale. Her new book, The Family Dynamic, is all about what makes exceptional families tick—and since she couldn't find a book that explored this, she spent years writing it herself! It's available for pre-order now and comes out May 6th. We dig into what sets thriving families apart, what we can learn from them, and how to help our own kids succeed. Plus, we wrap up with another hilarious Top 5 list from Penn.

For some, getting older can be hard, but we believe it needs a rebrand. We're not anti-aging... we're pro-aging! This week, our producer Ann Marie Taepke joins the podcast to lead us in a March Madness-style bracket to determine the best thing about getting older. We start with a sweet 16 and whittle it down to one champion with lots of laughs along the way.

Colon cancer runs in my family. Between that and having ulcerative colitis (that is now in remission) I get a colonoscopy every couple years. By 2030, colon cancer is predicted to be the top cancer death for people younger than 50. That's why it's important to get your cancer screenings when they are recommended. And this year, it is Penn's turn to get his check-up. (That's right, we're talking all about butt stuff.) We take you along for the prep, process, and results, as well as chat with Stage III colon cancer survivor and entrepreneur, Brooks Bell. Brooks is on a mission to raise awareness for colon cancer, normalize colonoscopies, and make colon cancer screenings more accessible through her clothing company, Worldclass. While we always try to take a light-hearted approach to everything we do, cancer is serious. Learn more about cancer prevention and how you can help.

When we wrote our book, ADHD Is Awesome, we got to meet a lot of you on tour. Many of you felt seen for the first time and many of you had no idea you had ADHD until you read it and got diagnosed. The majority of you were women. If we had one regret in writing our book, it was that we did not include more about how different ADHD presents in girls and women. But a big reason for that, is that it doesn't exist. There is very little research on how differently ADHD presents in girls and women. So we invited Dr. Jennifer Gierisch and Dr. Julia Schechter from the Duke Center for Girls & Women with ADHD to help us understand why that is and what is being done about it. This week's episode is longer than usual, but so important.

This week, we peek behind the curtain about some new starts and life updates... we talk about changes to our podcast (please weigh in about the name!) as well as speaking engagements, streaming shows, and writing a children's book. It was super special to reflect on our favorite children's books in our Top 5 this week as well as Lola's. Knowing that she is going off to college later this year has made us both very emotional.

Our podcast is a place to laugh, but it's also a safe space to get curious and learn. The rollback of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) initiatives have been a hot button issue in our nation. We wanted to dive into understanding DEI and the issues surrounding it, so we invited award-winning entrepreneur and inclusion expert, Donald Thompson, on today's show. Donald is a friend of ours with an extraordinary career creating and leading companies spanning many industries. What we love about Donald is that his focus is always on better business outcomes. He shares his thoughts and examples of how changes in approach can improve the bottom line.

We love to hear from our listeners, so this week we decided to try something new... we give very unqualified advice to all your questions! We give advice about college, making friends, negative comments, and a very controversial question from "Scooter." (Are you team frontsies or backsies?)

When we wrote our book Everybody Fights, So Why Not Get Better At It we talked about magic words in a relationship. There are phrases you can say during discussions or arguments that help bring down the temperature or help each other open up - so couldn't there be the same for our kids? This week, we bring back one of our all-time favorite guests, Dr. Hope Seidel and get her advice about better communication. But we quickly learn (as we always do) that we need to reframe our thinking when it comes to our kids. Is wanting them to open up something that will help them, or are we making it about us? You can learn more about Dr. Hope Seidel and her parent coaching practice here: https://parentwithhope.com/. Stick around for the end as PC joins us for the Top 5 this week!

We're back! During the first weeks of a new year, Kim historically freaks out and copes by setting goals. As for me (Penn) I am not a goal setter. This week, Ann Marie helps us go back in time to last year's New Year Resolutions to see what stuck and what didn't. I also give my Top 5 things I am looking forward to. Thanks for being back with us after two weeks off! PS.

Welcome to Part 2 of Behind The Music with Our Team! (If you haven't heard Part 1, you can tune in here.)Every year on the podcast we do a round-up of our favorite moments, but this year we decided to do something a little different. This week we kick off a two-part series "behind the music" with Ann Marie Taepke and Sam Allen, our two of our integral team members. We had so much fun in this podcast, it had to be two parts. In Part Two, we continue with our reflections on 2024 including Ann Marie's voice notes, Sam on the side of the road, Penn giving more flowers, and Kim in her main character era. We wish you a happy & healthy holiday season, thanks for listening and being here with us! PS. We are taking 2 weeks off for the holidays. Our next episode will drop January 14, 2025. See you then!

Sometimes I can feel like I can conquer the world, and sometimes I don't want to get out of bed. 93% of time management and productivity books are written by men. (By the way, I love men but women are built different!) There are so many more nuances to women who are looking for help prioritizing and planning. So this week, we have a ladies-only episode where I interview Kendra Adachi, also know as "the Lazy Genius." Kendra is a 3-time New York Times bestselling author, nationally ranked podcaster, wife, and mom. Her latest book is called The Plan: Manage Your Time like a Lazy Genius. Listen to her give us advice on how to get stuff done that matters without turning into a tired robot.

Last month on the podcast, we played a bunch of Hallmark movie games in our Christmas Will Fix It episode. Penn and I had so much fun that we asked ourselves... should we talk to an actual Hallmark movie writer? Enter Julie Sherman Wolfe! Julie is an award-winning writer and producer who has written 26 MOVIES for Hallmark, including her most recent Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. We had the best time talking to her about her background, the Hallmark movie making process, and (gasp) the fact she also has ADHD! Hear us play another Hallmark movie game with Julie as well as pitch who we would play if she wrote us into her next flick. You can follow Julie on Instagram at @julie_sherman_wolfe.

Everyone is about to have Thanksgiving with friends and family, some who may have very different political views than they do. It used to be that you could find something to agree on with those of another political party. Data shows that the political polarization in our country is worst now than ever. How did we get here? How do we fix it? This week we invited data scientist, research consultant, and keynote speaker, Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D. on the show to discuss (she's a stand-up comedian and circus performer too - fun fact!)We talk about the role the media plays in our division, why disagreement is good for solutions, and we circle back often to the water damage issue currently happening at our house.

We experienced our first "last" recently with having a senior in high school. That coupled with some stressful weeks had me living by airport rules. What are airport rules? I am so glad you asked. This week on the podcast, we give life updates and discuss airport rules (and why they should be temporary - like being in an airport.) Penn also shares his top 5 best and worst things at an airport... and it gets personal.

Throughout my life (especially during COVID) I have learned that when life gets heavy, my defense mechanism is Christmas. Something about burying yourself in holiday cheer makes everything better. It has taken a long time for Penn to understand and embrace my need for Christmas. As soon as Halloween ends, Christmas begins.This week we invite our producer Ann Marie Taepke onto the show for some laughs. We play some games around Hallmark movies, decide what the best Thanksgiving side is, and Penn tells us his Top 5 underrated Christmas songs.

We are releasing this podcast on Election Day 2024, because we need some political therapy today. Over the past couple presidential elections, the stakes are feeling higher and higher. I personally don't believe our bodies were made to handle all the constant information and stress in American politics. (Don't you remember when politics used to be boring?) This week we invited back Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers from the top-rated podcast, Pantsuit Politics, to discuss the state of our nation and how we move forward.

This week is a very special episode to celebrate the fact that... PENN IS 50! Cue Sally O'Malley! (Those of you who are old enough get the reference.) To commemorate the occasion, Penn shares a bunch of lists with me: Things that mean a lot more at 50, thing that mean a lot less at 50, things he is cranky about at 50, and goals for the next 50! (Yay, goals... my favorite!) We also end the episode with some roasts from Taylor Calmus of Dude Dad, Myles Montplaisir of You Betcha, comedian Charlie Berens, and members of our team: Ann Marie, Sam, and Desmond. You make 50 look good, Penn! Here's to the next half century!

The last two weeks have been a lot in the Holderness house. First, Hurricane Helene has devastated the western part of North Carolina, where some of Penn's family still lives. So many people lost their lives and whole towns were wiped out. Before we could even wrap our minds around it, Hurricane Milton was barreling towards my hometown in Florida. Enter an ill-timed panic attack. This week we talk about how to have grace for someone living with anxiety, what professions we would have been if we followed our elementary school passions, and most importantly, we talk to Ethan Clark. Ethan Clark is a 21-year old college student and founder of North Carolina's Weather Authority. He gained national attention for sharing real-time weather information during Hurricane Helene. Ethan has been running the NC Weather Authority since the 7th grade. He has over 600,000 followers and he has not missed a day of posting since 2016. He is an inspiration to Penn and I - we were so happy to have him on the show. You can learn more about Ethan here: https://www.ncwxauthority.com/.

Earlier this year, we were invited to join Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden on their podcast “Really, No Really” to promote our new book, ADHD Is Awesome. It was an amazing experience, and the whole time I was in awe of their friendship. Jason and Peter have been best friends for decades, and it's apparent that they admire and care about each other deeply. So we invited them on the show to talk about the secret to building strong male friendships. Penn and I fall into gender stereotypes when it comes to friendships. I go deep quick with fewer friends, and Penn has more surface-level friendships with a lot of people. We talk to Jason and Peter about how they met, Seinfeld stories, and advice anyone can use to build deeper connection. We also have a special mailbag from Charlie Berens, Myles Montplaisir, and Taylor Calmus… The Husbands of Target! Penn asked each of them what the secret to male friendship was during a recent visit.
