    Cousin Jeff

    Cousin Jeff

    Before there was Cousin Greg, there was Cousin Jeff. He's the oldest of our generation of Shakoor's and also the funniest. We do recommend having tissues nearby because you will be crying from laughing, but you may also shed a tear or two from hearing Cousin Jeff reflect on some of his best memories with Adam. This episode is a special one for us and we hope you all enjoy getting the know the legend that is Cousin Jeff.

    With each "first" milestone since Adam's passing, Holly and Jill are finding their own ways to get thru every major without having their brother physically around. Join Holly and Jill in this week's episode as they recount how they each celebrated Adam's 41st birthday last month and hear how they threw him an epic 40th birthday rager last year. Spoiler alert - even with moments of sadness, there were plenty of laughs, more shots of orange Jameson than ever necessary and even a celebrity cameo or two.

Medicine for the soul

Relatable, funny, beautiful. Holly and Jill have such a wonderful relationship that shines through the podcast. Can’t wait to hear more about their relationship with Adam, and many more stories about the Rain Forest Cafe.

This is just what I needed

I could listen to the Shakoor sisters all day. They are the perfect antidote to my day. What a fresh and inspiring new show. Cannot wait for the next epi. Run dont walk to Going Thru It

All the heart for this wonderful sister duo.

The insight and honesty that Holly and Jill share is so powerful. They are talking about things I have no knowledge about but I feel even more connected to them after this first episode. This is love.
