  • Welcome to the Holderness Family Podcast! On Facebook and YouTube we are known as The Holderness Family.

You're not alone. We are all a hot mess... a HolderMess. The HolderMess: the Holderness Family PodcastThank you for subscribing and listening!Hosted by Kim & Penn HoldernessProduced by Max Trujillo

  • Penn Gets A Colonoscopy (with Special Guest Brooks Bell)

    Penn Gets A Colonoscopy (with Special Guest Brooks Bell)
    Mar 11 2025

    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.

  • ADHD In Women & Girls with Dr. Jennifer Gierisch & Dr. Julia Schechter

    ADHD In Women & Girls with Dr. Jennifer Gierisch & Dr. Julia Schechter
    Mar 4 2025

    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. Learn more about their work here: https://adhdgirlsandwomen.org/

    New Starts & Picture Books
    Feb 25 2025

    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. If you have any thoughts on our new projects, drop us a line at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com or leave us a voicemail at 323-364-3929. We'd love to hear from you!

I love listening to this podcast. So relatable!

This podcast is so relatable and fun to listen to. There are moments of hilarity but there are also moments of deep emotion. Thought-provoking and fun, great for listening on my walks, while I'm cooking, in the car, and even with my kids (sometimes). Family and relationship thoughts, experiences, and advice.

Pausing work to listen to y'all

I'm not one of those people who can do my work AND listen to a podcast at the same time, which is a real shame because I really enjoy podcasts ... so ever since I started listening to your podcast, my work has begun to suffer. That should be a star or two off but my boss isn't the one writing this review, so ..........

In the latest episode (re: hobbies), I have to say that you are the only other person I have heard who discusses a strong dislike for the word "should". I went through a phase (may still be going through it) where I would respond to all shoulds with an accusation toward the speaker of being a "should-pusher". It doesn't endear me to people, but just know that I get it and I'm glad that you spoke about it because now I don't feel so weird. Right?

So, yea, keep getting in between me and my work - I enjoy it, even if my boss may not.

I just love this family!

It's been a rough year, but I gotta say, stumbling upon the Holderness Family has been one of my favorite parts. I first saw their hilarious song parodies on Facebook a couple of months ago. I was very excited to see they were writing a book, which is how I found out about the podcast! I laugh, and sometimes cry, but I always learn a little something, and get to see things from a new angle. As a newlywed, I strive to have a relationship like Kim and Penn have as the years go by. I love that they share the tools that help them have such an incredible understanding of each other! Thank you so much for being you, and sharing so much of yourselves!

Loving the positivity and wellness

I really enjoyed your videos and now your podcast. We have learned so much about the experience of living with ADHD from Penn. My son is ADHD and has been able to relate to Penn. Having a family of ADHD (myself, son, and husband) we feel for Kim because it's hard sometimes, but she has such a great approach to understanding it.

Awesome

First off let me say I love you guys. Second I can not belive I am the first review on here. That can only be because everyone else has already started listening to you on other platforms, because you guys are great I actually started watching dude dad and came across The target husband's video and I discovered your family's videos and I was hooked from there. I have watched all your videos, "read" your book. Wich I am great full for the extra commentary on the audiobook and now for the past couple of days I have been listening to your podcast im up to the end of 2018. I listen to you ten hours a day while I'm at work. My wife and I both have a mixture of both your personalities and you have helped me understand not only my wife but myself. With your inspiration I have started down my own self help and personal growth journey. Keep it up and I can not wait to catch up on your podcast Thank you for everything you guys do. YOUR AMAZING

By far, the best episode!

Okay, I love Penn & Kim, but this speaker was just next level with the knowledge. I think the only thing I didn't like about it is that he stole the show, but I will definitely be listening to this one multiple times. Great job! So glad I could find him through you! :)
