Sacha Holder is a project manager, podcast host, and bariatric patient who’s not here to pretend it’s all perfect. With over a decade of professional experience and a whole lot of lived experience, she creates podcasts that tell the truth about what it means to live, heal, and grow — through chaos, and curveballs, while keeping it together (mostly).
She’s the voice behind Life in the Bari Lane, a bite-sized bariatric podcast for real people navigating post-op life, and The High-Functioning Disaster, a show about showing up even when everything feels like too much. Through humor, honesty, and zero judgment, Sacha builds community through conversation — because no one should have to figure it out alone.
Brandon Holder – Host, Storyteller, Survivor – is the heart and voice behind Ashes & Aftermath, a podcast dedicated to holding space for people who’ve walked through fire and lived to tell the tale. As a survivor of severe childhood trauma, Brandon brings a rare blend of vulnerability, depth, and steady presence to every episode — offering listeners not just stories, but solidarity.
His style is reflective, calm, and deeply human. With each conversation, Brandon creates space for trauma survivors and mental health professionals to speak truth, share healing, and remind us all that survival is strength.
As co-founder of Holder Haus Media, Brandon is equal parts podcast host, producer, and creative engine. Whether he’s behind the mic or holding it for someone else, Brandon’s mission is clear: create safe, authentic spaces for people to be fully seen.
