Description

Welcome to The P-I-G, a podcast where we explore life, love, loss, and legacy through real conversations and meaningful stories—with Purpose, Intention, and Gratitude.

Hosted by sisters, Kellie Straub and Erin Thomas, The P-I-G was born from the bond they shared with their late mother, Marsha—a woman whose life and love continue to inspire every story told. What began as a deeply personal project has since evolved into a growing legacy movement, including The Boxes, a developing film and television series inspired by the physical gifts their mother left behind—each one unwrapped at a defining life moment after her passing.


At its heart, The P-I-G is about what matters most: connection. It’s a warm, welcoming space for open and honest conversations about the things we all carry—and the stories that shape who we are.


While “loss” is often defined by death, our episodes explore a much broader truth: We grieve relationships, mobility, identity, careers, finances, health, pets, confidence, memory, belongings, faith—even entire versions of ourselves.


Through personal reflections, powerful guest interviews, and expert insights, each episode invites you to consider what it means to live fully, love deeply, grieve honestly, and leave a legacy that matters.


Whether you’re navigating a loss, rediscovering your voice, or simply craving deeper connection—you belong here.


💬 Favorite topics include:

  • Grief and healing (in all its forms)
  • Sibling stories and family dynamics
  • Love, marriage, caregiving, and motherhood
  • Spirituality, resilience, and personal growth
  • Legacy storytelling and honoring those we’ve lost


🎧 New episodes post every other week. Follow and share to help us spread the message that hearing the stories of others helps us create a more meaningful connection to our own and legacy isn’t just what we leave behind—it’s how we live right now.


Hogs & Kisses, everyone. 💗🐷💗

What if you could live an entire life without realizing you'd somehow lost touch with yourself? For Jenny Cohen, that realization didn't come all at once. It came after decades of adapting, achieving, caregiving, surviving, and becoming whoever life seemed to require her to be. Jenny's story begins in Taiwan and winds through immigration to the United States, childhood experiences that taught her to adapt quickly, a lifelong relationship with dance and performance, marriage and motherhood, ca...
At some point in parenting, the job changes. The children we've spent years raising begin building lives of their own. They need us differently. The relationship shifts. And somewhere between pride, worry, freedom, grief, joy, and the occasional urge to step in and fix everything, we're left with a question we may not have expected: What happens to us when they begin to fly? Hanna Bankier, founder of BirdyLauncher, believes it's time to rethink the way we talk about this transition. Rat...
Eight weeks ago, we stepped away from the microphones with an invitation: go live a little more. Make room for wonder. Rest. Friendship. Courage. Adventure. Legacy. Now we're back—and maybe not quite the same. In this candid conversation between sisters, we look back at what P-I-G Summer Camp taught us, beginning with the childhood summer camp experience that helped shape who we became. From years spent at Camp Alleghany to two very different summers as adults, we explore why stepping away do...
One act of belief changed Angel Mollel's life. In Part Two of this extraordinary conversation, we discover what happened next—and how that same belief continues to ripple across families, villages, and generations. After arriving in the United States as a fifth-grade student from a small Maasai village in Northern Tanzania, Angel could have focused solely on building her own future. Instead, she chose something bigger. Together with her adopted father, Tony Matteroli, she founded 1 Love, a no...
What happens when one person chooses to believe in someone they've only just met? Sometimes... everything changes.
