About this listen

 From the attic of her sister’s house in Delaware, writer and emotional essayist "Sunshane" tells true stories that are sometimes funny, sometimes gutting, but always honest. This isn’t a podcast about how she turned her life around. It’s about how she’s still trying. Through a mix of humor, heartache, and the occasional inflatable doll, Shane peels back the layers of family, relationships, and what happens when the plan blows up but the cat still needs feeding. Season One: From the Attic with Love Each episode is a personal essay—short, sharp, and shamelessly human. Some will make you laugh. Some won’t. All of them will make you feel less alone in your own weird, beautiful mess. New episodes drop every other Monday. Come for the punchlines. Stay for the bruises.Copyright 2025 Shane Mott Social Sciences

    Easter brunch gone sideways, boardwalk fries, and a reunion years in the making. Turns out the plan is never the plan—it’s what happens on the way. And sometimes, the best surprise is realizing you don’t have to go anywhere. You’re already home.

    Abu Dhabi marble floors + Delaware attic stairs + Tampa toilet tissue + Hours of therapy = Proof that healing comes with humor.

    This is the ultimate bathroom saga with heart - because sometimes life hands you roses… and sometimes it hands you a toothpaste box when the roll runs out.

    This isn’t a full episode—it’s just a taste.

    A taste of laughter.

    A taste of chaos.

    A taste of cactus. 🌵

    Pull up a chair—you’ll laugh, you’ll sigh, you’ll maybe even snort.
