You may know Drake Bell from Drake & Josh and The Amanda Show, but over the years, his name has come to represent much more than a childhood TV show. In this conversation, Drake opens up about what he experienced behind the scenes, the lasting impact of the abuse he endured, and the complicated reality of living in the spotlight, especially when the public conversation turns toward you.

This episode isn’t simple. It’s not easy. And it’s okay to feel however you feel after listening. I’m grateful for Drake’s openness, and I believe it’s a very important story to tell.

If I have to ask “how’ve you been?” one more time — and actually listen to the answer—I really might just die. Ever since I dropped the last list, you haven’t stopped asking for another (bless your impatient hearts), so here it is: my latest (and possibly greatest?) Questions List, designed to hijack soul-draining small talk and send it deliciously sideways. This week, I field-tested them on my bedmate Olivia Sui, who somehow took them seriously… and for that, we adore her. You’ll steal them, deploy them mid-flight, mid-date, or mid-funeral — may they serve you well.

Today’s episode is a powerful and deeply personal one. I’m joined by Angel Carter Conrad — mother, mental health advocate, founder of The Kids Mental Health Foundation… and the twin sister of Aaron Carter, as well as Nick Carter’s sister.

Between 2012 and 2023, Angel experienced unimaginable loss — losing three siblings and her father to substance abuse and its ripple effects. But through that pain, she’s found a way forward — becoming a fierce voice for healing, awareness, and breaking generational cycles.

Her family’s story is told in The Carters: Hurts to Love You, where they open up publicly for the first time about the trauma they’ve endured and the work they’re doing to heal.
