You already know when an episode starts with “what had happened was…” it’s about to get real. In this week’s episode of Hold Up, Let Me Call My Sis, we’re catching up, unpacking some serious global déjà vu, and dragging beauty standards and summer nostalgia all in one sitting.

Catch-Up:
LaMia shares her joy about having her son back home after a summer with his dad—he’s her best buddy, and the house just feels right again.
Meanwhile, T recounts the travel horror story that was her catfish hotel situation in Thessaloniki, Greece. Spoiler: travel clubs and nonrefundable bookings don’t always mix. Lesson learned.

Watcher & Dancer:
We dive deep into the uncomfortable truth that history is repeating itself. T reflects on a powerful conversation she had with a German woman while traveling, comparing today’s America to Germany pre-WWII.
We talk through the overt and insidious signs of rising fascism and the role narcissism plays in shaping dominant culture. This leads us to unpack the ongoing communication breakdown between neurotypicals (often ego-driven, subtext-heavy) and AuDHD folks like us, who are more direct, purpose-driven, and just want everyone to say what they mean.

Hating & Loving:
LaMia gets fired up about the body hair double standard - why are women expected to be hairless, while men can roam free? And who even decided this was the “norm”?
T rants about how nostalgia lied to her—she thought summer was her favorite season, but let’s be honest: autumn has been clearing the table with cozy vibes, perfect layering weather, and mulled wine supremacy.

It’s vulnerable, funny, and a little spicy—just how we like it.

Tune in, call your sis, and let us know: What had happened in your world this week?
