A companion podcast to This Is Actually Happening (TIAH) in which two lifelong friends (and superfans) dissect each episode with empathy and levity – finding humanity between the layers of trauma, healing and darkness.

It’s the podcast behind the podcast where we analyze the episode, the story, audience reactions and relate it to our own lives. We are Trauma/Bonded, To the story, To the storyteller, To the listeners, To each other.

It’s a yes from me dawg

Mademoiselles, it has been nothing less than a delight to listen to your show and observe how you have grown as podcasters as well as the development in how you have come to the conversation and how the quality of conversation has developed. It’s so nice listening to individuals that challenge perception and express vulnerability in thought process/opinions. That’s the beauty of this all, right? Genuine conversation between people. Communication is truly nothing without comprehension and every episode you two come prepared to listen and learn from each other as well as the individual sharing their store versus just listening to respond. It’s a beautiful thing. Keep up the good work 🥰

Love having Ellen and T in my ear!!

Great discussions that bring laughter, joy, introspection and deep emotion. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to revisit episodes, learn more, think more and to see a bit behind the TIAH curtain. More, please!

Offensively bad

This podcast is actually offensive. The hosts are so sheltered and uneducated it’s actually stressful to listen to.
