Behind the Boxes: In the "Hot Seat" with Chris Howard
Manage episode 502782414 series 3648910
One year into The Boxes project, something unexpected happened: the story about preserving their mother’s legacy became the very thing that healed Kellie and Erin’s own relationship.
In this episode, the sisters reunite with film and television producer Chris Howard—this time in the hot seat—as he turns the questions back on them. Together they unpack:
- The seven-year age gap that shaped their bond as sisters.
- How business ventures and unspoken expectations became battlegrounds.
- The promise Kellie made to their dying mother—and the weight it carried for decades.
- Why healing in real time makes this project so raw, authentic, and powerful.
- The truth that their mother’s greatest gift wasn’t in the boxes she left behind… it was in giving them each other.
Through vulnerability, laughter, and a few tears, this conversation reveals the deeper heart of The Boxes story—and why legacy isn’t just what we leave, but how we live.
Hearing the stories of others helps us create a more meaningful connection to our own—because legacy isn’t just what we leave behind, it’s how we live right now.
