Ep. 106: Danielle Fishel & Emily O‘Brien

This Family Tree Podcast

Shane and Alex chat about missing out on Thanksgiving, therapy, ways to make life more enjoyable, Lucy's mood chart, and things they're thankful for.

Danielle Fishel, known fondly for her role as Topanga on Boy Meets World, discusses the birth of her new son, the experience of being pregnant in a pandemic, hot takes on postpartum etiquette, the benefits of therapy, her iconic acting career, and the joys of her new work as an entrepreneur (Be Free) and director.

Emily O'Brien tells her riveting story of redemption, as she transformed from the girl-next-door, to an international drug mule, to a convict, and now to a business owner. She discusses the ease into which women enter and stay within toxic relationships, the importance of self-advocacy, and her work with others who are also looking to create better lives for themselves.

Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like the purpose of therapy, top Halloween TV shows and films, the Instagram outage, monthly budgets, and homework.
