In this episode of Alec Mapa: Hot Mess with Matthew Dempsey Psychotherapist, Alec and Matthew are thrilled to welcome the actor, singer, and writer of the bestselling memoir and one-woman show “Growing Up Fisher”, the multi-talented Joely Fisher. The three reveal the challenging experiences they had in their upbringings and how they are working to break the cycle in their lives as adults. Joely shares intimate details of what it was like being raised by Hollywood royalty and the addiction, chaos, and neglect that defined much of her childhood. Joely opens up about the death of her sister Carrie Fisher and how it impacted her then and now. Alec and Joely talk through their mutual experience of adopting a child of a different race and the steps they have taken to be the most attuned parents they can be. Throughout the episode, Alec, Matt, and Joely touch on being an emotional cripple, “blacktivities”, the power of the pussy, forgiveness, resilience, and the healing power of writing.
