Laugh Lines with Kim & Penn Holderness

Well, I did something I never thought I'd do... I invited my ACTUAL therapist onto our podcast. (And yes, it almost turned into marriage counseling.) This week, we're joined by the wonderful Dr. Amelia Kelley, the woman who helped me figure out I had ADHD. Despite literally co-writing a book about ADHD with Penn, I somehow missed all the signs. (And yes, there were signs.)We talk with Dr. Kelley about why ADHD can look so different in women, how hormones can make symptoms worse, and all the things I've spent my life thinking were just weird little personality quirks. Like why I can handle a full-blown crisis but I can't make a dentist appointment. We also get into friendship guilt, doom piles, and the exhaustion of pretending to have it all together. Plus, Penn gets a crash course in the female hormonal cycle and starts considering whether he should track mine. What could possibly go wrong?If you are a woman with ADHD, I hope this conversation makes you feel seen. Getting diagnosed with ADHD in midlife wasn't something I immediately celebrated, but understanding myself better has changed my life. (And Dr. Kelley, if you're reading this, please don't let this episode make you so popular that I can't get an appointment anymore.) We love to hear from you!

Have you ever looked back at a parenting moment and thought, "I could have handled that better..." (Raises both hands.) Well friends, I have good news. It's never too late to make things right with our kids. Even when they're teenagers. Even when they don't want our advice. And even when the hardest thing we can do as parents is just... shut up. This week, we're joined by one of our favorite parenting experts, Dr. Becky Kennedy, who is a TED speaker and #1 New York Times bestselling author, to talk about the parenting mistakes we can still fix and why connection matters more than getting everything right. We dive into raising kids with ADHD, understanding deeply feeling kids, and what to do when your child says they're stupid or worthless. And while these conversations are important (and sometimes emotional) Dr. Becky has a way of making us laugh through all of it while giving such good, practical advice. We also have plenty of ridiculousness this week, including Penn's adventures getting my anxiety blanket through TSA, a very spirited debate with Sam and Ann Marie about whether we should compete on Dancing with the Stars, and some big personal news! I'm officially writing a new book about being a woman with ADHD. Should we bring you along for the ride? We love to hear from you!

How long can leftovers sit in the fridge before they become a health hazard? Are decorative pillows a waste of money? And is my husband trying to steal my Christmas joy? These are the hard-hitting issues that Penn and I have been arguing about for YEARS. And today, we're finally putting them up for debate. With election season in full swing and debates happening everywhere, we decided it was time to settle some of our own household disagreements. So this week we brought in our very brave producer, Sam, to moderate in true debate form. These are VERY important issues where neither of us is willing to budge. Like how long leftovers can stay in the fridge before they become a science experiment. Or whether cabinet doors are actually necessary. (Yes, Penn has thoughts on this.)We also take a trip down memory lane to revisit the wildly inappropriate club bangers we used to dance to without a second thought. Plus, we talk about finding common ground with people who see the world differently and why a little healthy disagreement might actually be good for all of us. Now we need YOU to help us decide who won the debate. Let us know! We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at [email protected].

Remember when we got terrible perms, passed notes in class, and had to survive our awkward teenage years without beauty filters? (I swear kids these days don't have awkward phases and it shows.) This week on the podcast, Penn and I talk about why our kids are craving our culture and we kick off a series we are calling "Gen X Check In" with someone who defined our childhoods. Our first guest? Danica McKellar! Yes, Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years joins us this week to talk about how she went from America's sweetheart to an actual mathematician. (Meanwhile, I was crying over 7th grade math.) She also opens up about her childhood crush, what it's really like filming Christmas movies in 100-degree heat, and a fun story from working with Dolly Parton.Penn also celebrates his 52nd birthday with some very age-appropriate rocket ship balloons, we share photographic evidence of how awkward we once were, and we compare notes on what our second careers would be. (I am still amazed that Danica has two very successful and very different careers!) Who should we check in with next? Tell us! We love to hear from you!

After 11 days across the country powered by gummy bears, Penn and I are back from our "Get It Done & Have Fun" book tour. (Don't worry Nashville, we will see you soon!) We had every intention of recording a normal podcast, but after so many days on the road we thought we'd take to the bed and bring you along for the shenanigans.We have so many stories to share, including Penn's unfortunate underwear situation, how I turn into a powered-down robot, and how we may be more co-dependent than we realized after failing our airport divorce. We're also sharing some really special moments from visiting schools, teaching kids about ADHD, and meeting so many of you along the way.We also learn how many "years old" we are in a Seventeen magazine style quiz along with Sam and Ann Marie (apparently saying "these used to be farms and fields" is a sign of aging) and we take some of your calls from the Laugh Line. We hope you enjoy this episode of pillow talk. Should we do it again? We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at [email protected].
