February 21, 2023 You Are A Person That Deserves Clean Dishes
We’re back with another Terrible Reading Club episode! Think of it as our book club for truly terrible times. Haven’t read the book we’re discussing? Good news: In this reading club, that’s not a requirement.
Today, we’re chatting with KC Davis, author of “How to Keep House While Drowning.” KC Davis used to feel terrible about the way her home looked all the time. But does having a clean space have to be a moral issue?

In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!
-
Identity theft is something many of us are familiar with, but we have a specific image of what this looks like – our data being stolen online, or someone getting a hold of our social security number. But almost a third of identity theft crimes are committed by a family member. This episode tells the story of two people who experienced financial abuse at the hands of their parents.

January 27, 2023 The Gal Pals — TTFA Premium
Here’s a sneak peek of what you get when you join us on TTFA Premium. For $7.99 a month, you can support our show and get ad-free episodes and bonus content like this. Sign up today at TTFA.org/Premium.
Team Terrible (minus Marcel, whose wife was about to give birth, which apparently took priority) recently took a trip down to Arizona to visit Nora, get some work done IRL, and soak up some vitamin D. And since the TTFA gal pals hadn’t all been in the same room together for two years, we decided to lock ourselves into an Airbnb closet and record a bonus episode just for our Premium listeners.

January 24, 2023 How To Lose Your Name
In case you didn't know, we're still making episodes that are available exclusively on Nora's Substack!
-
Cheval spent her entire life trying to be a wedding dress designer (she started sewing at 7 years old and studied fashion design in college). In her mid 20’s, she got her big break when a large fashion house hired her to design a wedding dress collection named after herself. But that dream only lasted eight years. She found herself in the middle of a legal battle that would take away her collection, her job as a designer, and eventually her name.
