I hardly ever take the time to write a review, but this was such a great topic and so relevant for me right now. I have a daughter who is a senior in high school, and a son who is in eighth grade they’re both moving on to the next phase next year so it’s a big year for us. And I’ve often asked myself that question for all the things I think I might’ve missed the boat on when they were little, Can I change that now? Also, I absolutely love your podcast and all your reels on Instagram ( am I saying that right? :)) And I’m looking forward to Penn’s book on ADHD coming out! Thanks for all you do!

The Holderness family podcast is like listening to friends chat who are funny, inspiring, relatable, always entertaining and full of variety. Congrats on your award in “Other” category, it totally fits. All your interviews and topics are so varied and awesome. Kim you are fabulous. Penn you are talented. I know you don’t leave the house much, but I would love to run into in public, however I don’t get to Raleigh at all.

The best marriage therapy is laughing together at our human foibles. The Holderness’ show us how.

I have followed the Holderness Family for these past 10 years. They have been such a bright light in, sometimes, the not so bright world. I have been able to laugh, and cry(podcast), but mostly laugh with your family and appreciate how happy and real you are. Here is to 10 more years!

I listen on Apple Podcast and in order to have the podcast audio levels are seriously off. I order to hear you, I have the volume way up. Then the ads are blasting and so loud. I have noticed it the last month or so. Please correct. Love the podcast!

If you have adhd or add this is the best for you I have been. watching these people since I was seven

If you love weak gimmicks, cash grab trend riders, and cute burnouts.

Love you guys. Penn - not the greatest of all time. Just sayin’

I feel you on the slalom skiing, bruh. Thanks for doing what you do…it injects some happiness and lightness into my days- and nostalgia!

I love your conversations! You make me laugh and you inspire me. Your topics are relatable and your guests are informative. One of my favorite listens.

I’ve been a casual fan of Holderness Family parodies for awhile (will never forget the first one - about the craziness of May set to a Boy Band song - it spoke to my soul and had me laugh/crying). Heard about this podcast (mentioned on Cozy Conversations by The Sister Project) - the episode with Dr Hope - great parenting tips that have already made me think about things differently- thank you!! Excited to cherry pick from back episodes!

I'm at a different life stage then Kim and Penn Holderness but I love listening to their podcast each week. It's like spending time with your favorite family members, it's always entertaining and I've learned a lot as well.

I found y’all during Covid and just love listening to you both. Since you are curious about alcohol I wanted to write an excerpt from a book I am reading. This author has done her research. I have been sober for 33 years myself. The author is Holly Whitaker in “Quit like a Woman”. In chapter 2 she talks about ethanol which is in the alcohol we drink. It’s the same thing that we fill our cars with, it’s a flammable liquid used in antibacterials, an important industrial product. It’s largest use is engine oil, rocket fuel, deodorants, perfumes, antiseptics and her list goes on. Yet we shun gluten, processed foods, dairy, refined sugars, hydrogenated oils, we wear watches that count our steps, we run, and are hyper-vigilant in our exercise. THEN, at the end of the day we drink ROCKET FUEL! I think you both would enjoy the book. I am always enjoying what others say about alcohol even though I quit several years ago. We need to support each when everyone around us is drinking alcohol.

You guys are so real and open and caring, what a treat it always is to listen. I adore your relationship and your family closeness. Thank you for sharing so much of your lives! Yes, I listen to the end, every single episode!

I look forward to listening to your podcast every week. You are so relatable, real and kind. I enjoy both your serious episodes and your laid back chit chatting episodes.

Your interview with Ryan Busse was: Informative Heart wrenching Disturbing Thank you for saying every single thing I’ve been feeling! Thank you thank you! We have to do better. Gun violence against children is the definition of insanity. Keep speaking the truth. You are appreciated.

Enjoyed the show but I wanted to hear from the guest and the hosts would not stop talking. It was clear the hosts had not read the book the guest wrote. Hosts loved hearing themselves talk instead of the guest/expert.

2 things. 1. Please have Ann Marie on more often and 2. please go off on tangents more often. I could listen to you all for hours. You are all great!!!! I’m older than you both, but I would like to grow up like you both when I get older.

I hear you say “but what about my rights to feel safe dropping my kids off at school?” Let’s take this further! I’m “afraid” to leave my house to even go in my yard…. Why? Because my neighbors use all those poisonous laundry products and other chemically fragranced products that pollute MY air in MY yard! I can’t even open my windows because their use of Tide and Gain and Downey and axe and Fabuloso. Food I buy in the grocery store REEKS of laundry and cleaning product smell! Then there’s the people who pollute MY air with their fire pits!! THAT’s MY concern! My ar15 have never hurt anyone! It goes to the range for competitions and comes home to the safe. And I also agree with those that say: then go after the car manufacturers when someone kills others with a vehicle! There was a horrible accident on the 10 on Mother’s Day where multiple children were killed! Where are the calls to ban cars!?

I love your podcast! Just wondering, do you really talk that fast or do you speed up the recording?! 😉

I think somewhere in the Constitution, in the 2nd Amendment, it says: Congress SHALL MAKE NO LAW…(and later on it says)…the Right of the People to keep and bear arms, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Thank you for your honesty and transparency with your anxiety and ADHD. I can relate to much of your discussions and marvel at what y’all are able to accomplish.

As a former teacher and current teacher educator, thank you for contacting your reps when there is a school shooting. If you look up “A Devastated Teacher’s Plea for Gun Control” on the magazine EdWeek, you can read my reflections on being a teacher and now mom. I’m also now a student at Michigan State, which of course experienced its own shooting in the spring. It’s trauma we’re putting our children through every day. Thank you for your work.

As someone with ADHD and anxiety, listening to Kim and Penn talk is like hearing to both sides of my brain trying to logic through a problem. 😂 On a serious note, as a relatively-newlywed, I learn so much about healthy communication from you guys and I’m incredibly grateful. Somehow you manage to discuss tough topics without being depressing, which I so appreciate. Love you guys!

I find every episode interesting and helpful. They are so articulate about the issues and emotions involved in marriage and family life. It really helps me to clarify my own feelings. Thank you for your take on everything!

Kim and Penn thank you so much for creating this podcast, my entire family love your videos and I love listening to the podcast thanks to you guys whenever my brother doesn’t put on a coat our dad sings “This is not a coat you’re misinformed” it’s so funny Ty :)

You know how Kim and Penn say it’s the best part of their week? This podcast is the best part of MY week! I learn SO much from listening.

I stumbled on the podcast recently (last few months), and really love it. I see my relationship with my husband in their ADHD/anxiety pairing and have found their discussions helpful in thinking about how I engage with my own partner. I also really enjoyed the episode on peri/menopause, as no one else seems to want to talk about it (doctors give the brush off). Finally, inspired by one of your episodes, I completed my own mishuggena? muskeegee? in January! Thanks for the inspiration!

Kim, I have been married 26 years. My husband is not a sharer like Penn. we used to fight about it early in our marriage. I wanted him to change but what I learned is he isn’t going to change. But he does try, let Penn said he is going to do. Just don’t be disappointed if he doesn’t do it. Sandy

Love the podcast and the Family Face-Off game!

Kim… Penn. I love your pod so much. This one really really resonated with me. I love how you both articulate complex relationship feelings and “stuff” so precisely. And you guys show us how to make a hard thing a little better with action. Hope your holidays are bright and wonderful. Love you guys.

Y’all are one of my favorite couples. Incredibly respectful of each other. I listen to episodes even if the title doesn’t interest me the most because I always end up learning something and I always laugh a few times.

I loved your podcast. Thank you for sharing. You guys are awesome together. I listened to the end by the way. Say hi to Sam.

Just listened to this podcast. Kim & Penn, I cried along with you. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability. I’m sure that wasn’t easy. I can relate to so many things in your marriage. Hearing it makes me feel “normal” in my marriage. I love the idea of the holiday marriage contract. I’m going to propose it to my husband. Can I have the PDF?? 🤣 Thanks for making me laugh, cry and everything in between. Happy Holidays! Melissa

You guys have a natural charm about you. My favorite episodes are when you are talking about your kids Lola and PC, the holidays, or your day-to-day life experiences. When you did the podcast about Penn’s dad passing, I felt honored to be a part of that raw vulnerability and heartfelt conversation and celebration of life. I also loved all your amazing race podcasts. Praying for you and hope you have a meaningful Christmas!

I’ve watched them on The Amazing Race and love how Penn and Kim balance each other out. I love how vulnerable Kim makes herself on the show being transparent about her anxiety. I love to hear how Penn supports her. I struggle with anxiety as well and would love to find a partner who can be as supportive. I honestly have not listened to very many episodes, however, from the ones I have listened to, I know that they can talk about serious topics while also keeping the conversation light and humorous. They are real people and very relatable.

Hi Kim and Penn! I love all of your entertainment platforms! I loved you guys before the pandemic, but your song parodies truly got me through the first few months of that craziness. This podcast is so fun to listen to. I love your banter and conversations about real topics on your mind. You have opened my eyes to different view points and I look forward to listening every week!

I look forward to new episodes of this podcast every week. I am in the thick of little kid life and all that comes with it but my oldest is creeping into the big kid years. Sometimes the thought of what is next can make me uneasy. This podcast gives me reassurance that the next phase is going to be just as great (maybe better?!) than having babies and toddlers. I love hearing about all the things their family is able to do together and I especially appreciate the honesty about what marriage can be like when you’re raising kids. The way that they respect and honor each other, make time for their relationship outside of being Mom and Dad, the way they cheer each other on in their respective interests/hobbies and just their overall love for each other makes this one of my favorite things to listen to each week. Thank you Kim and Penn!

Just wanted to thank you guys on multiple counts… My family and I started watching your funny videos during the pandemic and they helped us laugh during a very uncertain time. We now follow your latest videos because they are so fun and spot on for so many topics. My husband and I read your book and loved it then I stumbled upon your podcast and it is my very favorite. I have learned and laughed and cried with you guys. Thank you for all that you do! Keep up the fantastic creativity and content!

I feel like Kim & Penn are me and my husband’s kindred spirits. I absolutely love how funny, loving, and vulnerable they are. They are truly honest and helpful. I am able to laugh, love, learn, and cry, and it’s truly my favorite podcast

The podcast is awesome! No matter the subject, it never fails to make me laugh. Thank you ❤️

I've been listening to the Holderness Family Podcast for 2 years now, and it is my favorite of all the podcasts I listen to. I find Kim and Penn's humor really entertaining and their honest life stories very relatable. They find excellent guests that always teach me something. I tune in to be entertained and leave having become a better, smarter person. What more could you want out of a podcast? Thank you, Kim and Penn! I am a better spouse, parent, and self because of your podcast.

I love the YouTube channel

Hi Kim and Penn Finally I’m not driving or listening to your podcast AND I’ve remembered to leave you a review! My wife has ADHD and we’ve decided I have “acquired” ADHD. Even though we have no children (but nieces and nephews) and may be a tich older (+10-15 years), we can always relate to your topics! Just like you find the time recording your episodes is a cherished time you share together weekly, we find the same for us as we listen to it together weekly! Thanks for introducing us to the Amazing Race! It took the two of you participating for us to finally watch and we love it and will keep watching. Can’t wait for your new game to be available! We’ll be first in line for ourselves and for our siblings. Thanks to you both for making each other better and helping us to make each of us better! Nancy & Flo

I have so enjoyed getting to know Penn and Kim through funny Facebook videos during the pandemic. The podcast has opened up a whole new side and i love and appreciate the honesty and openness you bring to it. My husband and I have read your book together and it changed our marriage truly for the better. We learned so much about open, honest, and constructive communication. Thank you Kim and Penn for being such an inspiration!!

Omg. I love you both, your videos, and this podcast. My husband has adhd and I have anxiety, so I really relate. As for your most recent episode… My kids are legal adults now and I wish I had heard of the parenting coach idea about 10 years ago. Such wise info! Why is it not in every parent handbook from kindergarten to graduating high school?!? As I’m listening, there are so many things that I will still be using as I talk with my now grown kids. THANK YOU!

I first became familiar with Kim and Penn through their hilarious videos and recently learned they have a podcast! I was so excited to listen and learn about their real lives. Even though I don’t have children, and this podcast is categorized as “parenting”, I still find Kim and Penn completely relatable and enjoy hearing their take on the wide-ranging topics they discuss. They are real, down to earth, funny and big-hearted in every episode.

I love Kim and Penn’s podcast. Every week is something different and entertaining to listen to, and they are so honest about their celebrations and challenges. I look forward to the podcast every week!

I discovered Kim and penn through the amazing race and soon after, this podcast. If it’s nearing the end of the week and I haven’t listened yet, I feel myself get a little cranky because something is missing! Lovvve their fresh takes and hornet conversation mixed with lighthearted laughs. Keep doing your thannnng guys!

I don’t mean to sound creepy. But you and Pen enter my dreams as if we are already friends. We fell in love with your sense of humor with your prep for meals video during Covid. After that it was your book and getting to learn about it each of you. I feel like I can better understand our 10 year old son who has ADHD and can’t hear us while is engaged in latest fascination. Our house is so insane papers, toys and his thoughts are everywhere. I wonder if this is a junior Penn. The icing of love fell for you when my husband and I learned of Penn’s love for tennis. We could so relate when you wrote in the book about going out for tennis and arriving home late. We were elated to learn about your announcement of being on the amazing Race. We watched every episode with so much hopes that you would go far. And yes you did go far!!!! We feel so connected with you even though we never have met. Maybe someday we will but for now you both are in my dreams.
