I sat down with This Is Us star Chrissy Metz and Nashville songwriter Bradley Collins to talk about their new children’s book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings. We talked about the power of faith, the importance of self-love, and why helping kids express their emotions early on matters so much. Chrissy and Bradley shared how they had to learn to express themselves as adults because they weren’t taught how as kids—and how that inspired this book. Chrissy also reflected on her time on This Is Us and how being part of such an emotional, beloved show shaped her perspective on empathy, healing, and using your voice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Families Overcoming Trauma – This Is Us NBC's This Is Us has resonated deeply with audiences, largely because of its heartfelt portrayal of family, trauma, and healing. The show masterfully illustrates how each family member carries their own pain while remaining connected through love, resilience, and acceptance. It reminds us that healing isn't about erasing the past—it's about learning to live with it, together. In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Laura DeKraker Lang-Ree, whose journey is a testament to this very idea. When her daughter, Cecilia, was diagnosed with childhood leukemia at just three years old, Laura searched for guidance—a book, an expert, a roadmap. When she realized that no such book existed, she wrote it herself: The Cancer Parent's Handbook: What Your Oncologist Doesn't Have Time to Tell You. Through her experience, she uncovered the tools and insights necessary not just to survive, but to thrive during an overwhelming and terrifying time. As Laura and I reflected on This Is Us, we found so many parallels between the Pearson family's story and her own. The show depicts the way trauma weaves itself into the fabric of a family, shaping identities and relationships in unexpected ways. It also highlights the power of connection—how, even through grief, loss, and struggle, love can be an anchor. Trauma and the Nonlinear Journey of Healing One of the most powerful elements of This Is Us is its nonlinear storytelling. Much like real-life healing, the past continuously intrudes on the present. The audience is transported through different points in time, seeing how early wounds manifest in adult struggles. We watch as Kevin searches for love and self-worth, Randall seeks meaning in his biological roots, and Kate finds healing through music and motherhood. Their journeys are messy, imperfect, and deeply human. At the heart of the series is a pivotal moment—the loss of Jack Pearson, the beloved yet flawed father figure. The show builds up to this revelation, allowing us to witness how his absence shapes each family member in distinct yet connected ways. In a similar way, families facing trauma must navigate their own nonlinear paths, piecing together meaning and strength as they go. Holding Space for Pain and Hope EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that has three prongs of healing-- the past, the present, and the future. This Is Us reflects this process beautifully, showing how the past and present exist simultaneously, influencing each other in ways we don't always recognize-- impacting the future as well. Laura's story is a profound example of how trauma and hope can coexist. While no parent would ever choose the experience of childhood cancer, Laura chose how her family's story would be written. She didn't deny the pain, but she also didn't let it define their lives. Instead, she created moments of normalcy, love, and connection amid the fear. Defining Our Narrative The final season of This Is Us centers around the decline of Rebecca's health, bringing the family together once more in the face of loss. Yet, rather than being consumed by grief, they embrace their love for one another. It is in these moments—where vulnerability is met with compassion—that true healing and connection happens. This is the lesson Laura embodies: even in heartbreak, loss, and tragedy, life doesn't have to be only about pain. Life can be about something so much more. We can hold space for both sorrow and joy. We can choose to show up, to embrace imperfection, and to construct the narrative that we want to-- one that is rooted in love and family connection. Trauma can break us, or it can unite us. The powerful and aligned message of both Laura's journey and This Is Us is this: we can walk through whatever life brings us with magnanimity, with courage, and with hope. And at some point, I promise, our heartfelt laughs will be there as well! For more information on Laura, visit lauradekrakerlangreebook.com or follow her on Instagram at @laura_dekraker_langree.

Zwischen 26. Januar und 4. März 2025 veröffentlichten Hulu und Disney+ die neue Thriller-Serie «Paradise», die vom früheren «This Is Us»-Erfinder Dan Fogelman stammt. Dieser gehört auch zu den Produzenten der Hulu-Serie «Only Murders in the Building», in dem ebenfalls Mordfälle gelöst werden. Das steht auch bei dem neuen Format an, schließlich wird der Präsident Cal Bradford tot aufgefunden. 20th Television, eine Disney-Tochter, hat das neue Projekt von Dan Fogelmann produziert. Wie in «This Is Us» springt das Format in zahlreichen Zeitebenen herum. Ebenso nahm Fogelman den Schauspieler Sterling K. Brown mit, der bereits in über 100 Episoden der Familienserie zu sehen war. Fabian Riedner bedauert im Podcast, dass Disney nicht die frühere Synchron-Stimme einkaufte. Zusammen mit Christian Lukas diskutiert Riedner die zahlreichen verschiedenen Aspekte der Serie. So wird der Spoiler zum Ende der ersten Episode besprochen, genauso wie die Auflösung des Mordfalls. Auch die musikalische Untermalung der Serie spielt eine Rolle, weil der Soundtrack mit Liedern wie „Paradise“ das Thema aufgreift.
