Infinite Possibilities with Julie Paiva & Her Sister Lisa

You “kinda” don’t want to miss this week’s episode of Hey Sis, Eat This, as we welcome special guests Julie Paiva, a talented screenwriter known for Kinda Pregnant, now airing on Netflix, and her wonderful sister Lisa. Together, they share a heartfelt and humorous look at their unconventional childhood in Northern California, celebrating the life lessons and creativity imparted by their remarkable mother, Momma Bibi.

We rewind to the ‘80s, when Momma Bibi and Dad Michael divorced when the sisters were seven and ten. Bibi chose stability first when co-parenting, keeping her girls in their childhood home with their dad, while still fostering a close relationship with them through foodie filled adventures. Daddy Michael tackled single-parent mode with “French-Toast Thursdays,” microwave-cooking classes, and a very liberal kitchen-only cigarette policy that cured any teen smoking phase fast .

A Sufi seeker who swaps small talk for theories on the nature of time, Momma Bibi raised her daughters on spiritual “square dancing” and Cheez Whiz with jarred beef on annual camping trips. Her trademark Bibi-isms (“blow your nose, get a little glass of orange juice, take two sips then tell me what happened”) still echo whenever life gets wobbly .

Tune in to hear how Bibi instilled in her daughters the importance of love, peace, and connection, and how she encouraged them to embrace their individuality and celebrate their own unique paths.

Also, make sure to check out Julie’s hit movie, Kinda Pregnant, starring Amy Schumer, now playing on Netflix and her next venture, a children’s book series launching with The Lucky Penny, inspired by Momma Bibi’s DIY optimism.
