HollyWould

Jasmine Lobe and I hadn’t seen each other in a while and figured that since we both write about our personal lives, we may as well catch up live, for your viewing pleasure. We spilled on how writing so intimately affects us and those around us, in our… well… personal lives. I may have also told the tale of when I sold pictures of my stockinged feet.

In case you missed our live, Liz and I discussed the underwear that Skims just released and what they might mean for the evolution of beauty standards. We also talked to Quasim about making protests fun! Which they should be, because everything in life should be fun. Speaking of, how was your No Kings Day? What were your favorite signs? Thank you Patricia Lafond Valade , Education is a lamp , Maso...

This week pulled every rug out from under me, tore the roof off my ceiling, flipped me upside down, spanked me in a non sexual way and then spanked me again in a sexual way. Not literally. It wasn’t that fun, and it didn’t even take me out for dinner. But my head is spinning from distractions and everything I wrote about it left me feeling insincere and insecure. This though… this is sincere, as g...

Last Friday Jerry and I chatted about the serendipity of both having columns at Playgirl magazine, cringe vs. squirm, manifestation and so much more. We’ll be doing this regularly, so stay tuned!

Many of you have read my viral Huffington Post personal essay , but there is a bigger, more nuanced story behind the story. In this episode, I dig into the finer details of the twisty, serendipitous situation - revealing yet untold bombshell admissions. I intended on discussing the controversy around the weirdly polarizing piece but then we had some unexpected shit go down in the studio where we r...

Spiritual awakening or psychosis? I’ve definitely asked myself this question at points in my life. According to Adela, intuition and an ability to communicate with other realms is simply a science we don’t yet understand. Adela’s gifts are strong and she’s spent over twenty-two years honing them through tests, confirmations and otherworldly guidance. Her readings are surprisingly grounded - connec...

This is a first. Both doing a solo episode, AND telling this particular story. I’ve dropped bits, scenes, moments, and alluded to, but never in my life, in any place public or private have I sat down and simply laid it all out - I was a teenage runaway. I was kidnapped at twenty. I escaped, moved to LA and rode the tidal wave of Hollywood’s music and entertainment-biz, while sinking into the drugs...

Justin Warfield hates talking about Hollywood and himself. Yet, against all odds we managed to have an incredibly satisfying conversation about growing up here in LA, dads in the music industry, his path to becoming the front man of She Wants Revenge, and what fame and success can look and feel like if you have a good head on your shoulders. Find out where Justin’s head is these days, and what we...

Samuel Larsen is a musician, singer-songwriter, actor, and model, best known for his work on Glee. Recently, on social media, he’s been sharing openly about his sobriety journey, which spawned an idea in my mind to get him on here to talk about it. Samuel and I discuss fame - having it, losing it, and getting smack-down humbled, as well as drinking problems, love and sex addiction, dating, and a w...

Cristiana Ladki-Williams is the producer of our show as well as a mega-boss-babe-producer in the world at large. She is also one of my best friends, and the stories of her wild child days (some of which I was present for) never cease to blow my mind. As usual, there are rockstars galore in our lively discussion, as well as some life lessons - delivered with lots of laughs from a woman who knows. T...

Watch it with your eyeballs here: Anne Thornton is a chef, writer, performer, entrepreneur, and an overall superstar. On this episode Holly and Anne discuss the woo-woo, sobriety, “California Sober”, and getting cancelled! Anne Goes deep, gets vulnerable, and drops some hard earned wisdom. Cristiana and I were inspired by Anne and her integrity and I bet you will be too! (For those listening on au...

Produced by Cristiana Ladki Williams, and filmed right here in HollyWould, California. This is our first ever HollyWould podcast episode, and I want to thank Cristiana for being my friend and producer, and Tim for being my friend and our first guest. We’ll be back with another episode in October. And in the meantime, I post a wild and salacious, totally true, personal essay every Saturday, so don’...
