This is a show about stories for storytellers and story lovers, hosted by sisters Kristen and Maddie, lifelong readers and recent booktokers with a 100k+ following.
We're here for unfiltered, unhinged conversations with fellow content creators and storytellers, and we will feature the occasional rant or rave about the stories that are ripping our hearts out and putting them back together again, or maybe making us pee our pants, so long as they are telling us the truth about what it is to be human.
Welcome to the Sisterhood!
