Daddy Tissues with Gina Sullivan
Gina Sullivan in profile, lip liner at her lips, under the Daddy Tissues title

When a woman who's had enough finally gets a microphone.

I'm Gina. 40, divorced, raising three kids, and done pretending I'm fine. Every Monday I get brutally honest, and brutally funny, about divorce, dating after divorce, daddy issues, gaslighting, co-parenting, and rebuilding a life that didn't go the way you planned. No filters. No shame. Just the truth that makes you say “oh my God, me too.”

No-Shower Happy Hour

I'm recording this at two o'clock in the afternoon and I have not showered. When I was 24 there was a magical place where you showed up like this on purpose.

    The Roots

    The show is called Daddy Tissues, so we might as well talk about the obvious: daddy issues. And mommy issues too, because everyone contributed.

    The Boiling Frog

    Let's Get High

    White Trash

    The Box

    I went down to the basement and dragged up a giant box with one word written on it in permanent marker: COURT. Some people have a cooler. I have litigation.

    Leftovers

    Before I open the box, you need to meet the girl who was living her life while it filled up. How I got out of my parents' house (there were scissors involved).

    I found an old camcorder in a box. There was my oldest, four years old, in his little blue robe. I forgot his voice. And I have a five-year-old downstairs right now.

    Permission Slip

    Somebody is saying something about you so wrong, so twisted, that your brain disconnects. And what do you do? You smile. Head tilt. Little nod. “Mm-hmm.”

From the show

“When one woman tells the truth, another woman gets free.”

About Gina

Not your therapy. Just the truth.

I'm a single mom in Philadelphia. I just got divorced, turned 40, I have three kids, a lifetime of trauma, and a microphone I barely know how to use. I am completely unqualified, and somehow I know I'm the most qualified person on earth to do this show.

This show is a safe place for women to vent, laugh, cry, admit the ugly, and feel less alone. It's for the women carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders while still trying to be hot, loved, desired, sane, rich, chosen, and most importantly, free.

No, you are not crazy. That was fucked up. Grab your coffee, your tequila, or your Ativan, and grab your daddy tissues.

The Swear Jar

Every “f**k” costs me a quarter.

This show is recorded on my bed, edited at my kitchen table, and paid for by me. If an episode ever made you feel less alone, bail me out. A dollar, five, ten, whatever you've got. It keeps the lights on in the studio.
