Miss Happy Mess

Miss Happy Mess is a talk show for women who are wondering what the f*#k is going on in the world. Host writer and actor Kimberly-Rose Wolter was born and raised in Hawaiʻi and now lives in Los Angeles. She has questions about reinvention, self-identity, parenting, and the practical shit in life no one taught her. She talks with friends, family, and people wiser than her on topics ranging from "Do I need a partner to be happy?" to "Whatʻs an estate lawyer and do I need one?" No question is off limits. No conversation is too big or too small. This isnʻt a podcast meant to fix, itʻs a place to build community and support, Hawaiian Style!
