Listen "E.A. Hanks - Famous Father, Troubled Mother"
Episode Synopsis
                            In this raw and revealing episode of Reasonably Happy, author and screenwriter E.A. Hanks opens up about growing up as the daughter of Tom Hanks, surviving a chaotic childhood with an abusive, mentally ill mother, and forging her own path in Hollywood. From hidden trauma and therapy breakthroughs to the price of fame and writing a memoir about family, identity, and the open road, Hanks shares powerful stories behind her new book The Ten. She discusses how her father’s fame created emotional distance, the collapse of her mother’s mental health, and how writing became both her refuge and rebellion. If you're into celebrity legacies, healing childhood wounds, or the grind of making it as a writer in L.A., this episode hits every note.
