   It’s About Time — Mark Connor on Poetry, Family, and Fighting for Connection

   In this episode, writer and boxer Mark Connor joins me to talk about his debut memoir and poetry collection, It’s About Time (Millions of Copies Sold for Dad) — a heartfelt work inspired by powerful life experiences and the impact of his father's death. We explore the threads of family, heritage, Catholic faith, love, and the raw humanity that runs through his verse. Mark opens up about his journey from the boxing ring to the written page and back, the urgency to share his work before it was too late, and why human connection will always be worth fighting for. Check out It's About Time (Millions of Copies Sold for Dad) on Amazon (https://a.co/d/4CpRDSK).

   Mourning Someone I Don’t Miss

   Grief isn’t always about tears — sometimes it’s about relief, confusion, or the awkward silence that follows when no one wants to say, “She wasn’t a good person.” In this candid episode, Travis and Katherine talk about the death of Kat's mother — a woman whose legacy includes abuse, manipulation, and emotional wreckage. Together, they unpack what it means to mourn someone you don’t miss, how to navigate complicated grief, and why “family” isn’t always sacred. It’s a raw conversation — at times heavy, at times darkly funny — about survival, healing, and saying goodbye without pretending it was all okay.
