Laugh Lines with Kim & Penn Holderness

• Living Parallel Lives with Dustin & Melissa Nickerson

  Sometimes the best therapy is laughing with people who truly get it. This week, we sit down with comedian Dustin Nickerson and his wife Melissa to compare notes on our parallel lives (and to remember to hit the record button this time... more on that in the show.) From forgetting luggage to forgetting pictures of kids, we swap stories about ADHD marriage dynamics, youth sports, and the emotional rollercoaster of sending your first kid to college. Plus, we play “Bring It Back or Pass” to debate the comeback potential of frosted tips, cassette tapes, and SkyMall catalogs.You can find out more about Dustin and Melissa by tuning into their hit podcast "Don’t Make Me Come Back There" and find dates for Dustin on tour.

• All You Can Be with ADHD (For Kids!)

  It’s here! We’re celebrating the release of our very first children’s book, All You Can Be with ADHD, with an episode families can enjoy together! When we set out to write All You Can Be with ADHD, our goal was simple: To help kids feel proud of how their brains work. We wanted them to see their energy, focus, imagination, and even their distractions as strengths — not shortcomings. Sure, ADHD can bring challenges but it’s got some pretty cool stuff too! In this episode, we read a few pages from the book and share some amazing messages from ADHD kids, like 10-year-old Gordon (who may be my most favorite Laugh Line caller yet). We also talk about how to handle hobbies that fizzle out, what it means to find your own motivation, and how every superpower needs a little practice. I even share my “Three Piece Nuggets” on what I hope every kid takes away from the book. (If you're a kid with ADHD, know that Kim and I are rooting for you, and we cannot wait to hear all the great things you accomplish!)So grab your kids and join us for a journey into the ADHD brain—full of creativity, curiosity, and possibilities!

• Parents Weekend & Getting Bursitis

  Have you ever been on a wellness journey and gotten BURSITIS?! In this week’s episode of Laugh Lines, we discuss how my need to be more active led to a very glamorous new diagnosis. (Yep, I’ve officially reached the age where I ice my hips during a podcast recording… and then find out I can get frostbite.)Penn and I recap our emotional rollercoaster of a Parents Weekend—seeing our daughter thriving at college, resisting the urge to cry in front of her, and maybe hosting a parents’ night that felt like a frat party. We also get into why kids are saying “six seven”, things women in perimenopause cannot remember, why toe spacers might actually improve your brain health, and my road to 50 update. (Please tell me pull-up tips!) We love to hear from you, leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at [email protected].

• Hamilton, Hearing Loss, & Sing-Alongs with Alex Lacamoire

  If Broadway had a heartbeat, Alex Lacamoire might be it. You probably know him as the Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning musical genius behind Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, In the Heights, and The Greatest Showman. This week, we are beyond grateful to welcome him to Laugh Lines!Penn and I are lucky enough to call Alex and his wife, Ileana, our friends. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of his journey—from a Miami kid with a hand-me-down piano to a Broadway legend. We talk about how he sees music in colors (yes, synesthesia is real!), why lifting others up matters just as much as creating unforgettable scores, and how he’s overcome incredible odds. Born with significant hearing loss, Alex has gone on to orchestrate and arrange some of the most iconic music of our generation.Oh—and did I mention we sing? A lot. From The Muppets to Broadway, Alex graciously humors us as everything turns into a sing-along (and even shares a keyboard with Penn). We adore Alex, and after listening, we think you will too. We love to hear from you, leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at [email protected].

• Motivating ADHD Kids & Your Questions with Dr. Emily King

  Parenting kids with ADHD can feel like walking a line between wanting to help and needing them to be independent. This week, we’re joined by our friend Dr. Emily King, a child psychologist who has spent over 20 years supporting families, schools, and kids with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and learning differences. Dr. Emily joins us to talk about how to support kids with ADHD and answer your questions.From teachers wondering how to support executive functioning in the classroom, to parents of teens who can ace calculus but can’t find their water bottle, Dr. Emily gives practical, compassionate advice that helps all of us breathe a little easier. She talks about why ADHD brains don’t always learn best in classrooms, how to balance correction with confidence-building, and the importance of finding your child’s joy—whether that’s on the soccer field, the stage, or in the pages of a favorite book.In true Laugh Lines form, there’s also plenty of laughter especially as Penn invents a new segment involving “nuggets.” If you’ve ever wondered how to motivate your ADHD kid without crushing their spirit—or if you’re just looking for reassurance that you’re not alone in this—this episode is for you.
