Brittany Ishibashi: Joy is her character (opens the original)
Read excerpt
EPISODE 108. Two years ago, Brittany Ishibashi sat in this chair and told me she was only taking jobs close to home, two or three days at most, because she couldn't picture being away from her kids. This week she's back, and she just spent a year in Austin playing Joy, wife to Woody Harrelson's character, in Apple TV's Brothers, opposite Matthew McConaughey and Holland Taylor. We get into what it actually took to say yes: loosening her grip on the house, letting her husband run things his way, b
Solo Pod: The white pages, parenting chatter in pop culture & dancing with Frodo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
EPISODE 107. It's a solo episode babyyyyy.

We get into her "Marked Safe" initiative (tracking which brands are quietly funding disinformation), growing up the tomboy eldest daughter of two lifelong activists, meeting her
Episode 104: Kelly Komisaruk: Swallowing Feelings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kelly is a feeding therapist and speech pathologist who spent years on a multidisciplinary feeding team at a hospital, working alongside occupational therapists, dieticians, and psychologists to treat kids with severe feeding aversions and ARFID. She was a selective eater herself growing up, something she hid from her own mother for over a decade before finally asking for help at 17. Today she runs a feeding therapy practice and offers courses for families trying to make sense of their kid's rel
