Welcome to The P-I-G, a podcast where we explore life, love, loss, and legacy through real conversations and meaningful stories—with Purpose, Intention, and Gratitude.
Hosted by sisters, Kellie Straub and Erin Thomas, The P-I-G was born from the bond they shared with their late mother, Marsha—a woman whose life and love continue to inspire every story told. What began as a deeply personal project has since evolved into a growing legacy movement, including The Boxes, a developing film and television series inspired by the physical gifts their mother left behind—each one unwrapped at a defining life moment after her passing.
At its heart, The P-I-G is about what matters most: connection. It’s a warm, welcoming space for open and honest conversations about the things we all carry—and the stories that shape who we are.
While “loss” is often defined by death, our episodes explore a much broader truth: We grieve relationships, mobility, identity, careers, finances, health, pets, confidence, memory, belongings, faith—even entire versions of ourselves.
Through personal reflections, powerful guest interviews, and expert insights, each episode invites you to consider what it means to live fully, love deeply, grieve honestly, and leave a legacy that matters.
Whether you’re navigating a loss, rediscovering your voice, or simply craving deeper connection—you belong here.

Hogs & Kisses, everyone. 💗🐷💗
Some relationships don’t break because of big events—they fracture quietly through years of misunderstanding, assumptions, and unspoken emotion.
In this two-part series, we invited Marcus Straub—coach, mentor, brother-in-law to Erin and husband to Kellie and—to guide us through a live, unscripted deep-dive into our own relationship as sisters.
In Part One, we explored self-awareness through our DISC assessments: how we’re wired to behave, communicate, and respond under pressure.
In Part Two, we take it a step further—uncovering the Driving Forces that shape our motivations, influence our responses & reactions, and define how we show up for the people we love. Understanding the WHY behind our HOW.
We laugh, reflect, and lean into the sometimes uncomfortable truths about family, communication, and the courage it takes to listen without judgment or assumption. What began as a coaching session became a powerful reminder that healing relationships isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about rediscovering what’s possible.
In this episode, we:
- Explore the 12 Driving Forces and how they influence relationships
- Discover why curiosity and courage are more powerful than control
- Learn to listen without defensiveness and speak without blame
- Discuss the power of empathy, healthy boundaries, and compassion
- Show how behavioral tools can bring connection back to families
… and so much more!
Every conversation we have reminds us that self-awareness is the foundation for all kinds of love—between siblings, partners, friends, families, and even within ourselves.
