  • does anyone actually regret having kids
    Oct 21 2026
    Do you regret having kids? Or do you regret not having them? Be real. I asked that on this episode and I genuinely want to know, because Manon Mathews and I don't totally agree.She thinks the regret of not having them lasts way longer than anyone who regrets having them. I told her about a whole account of parents anonymously admitting the opposite. By the end, we'd both moved a little.If you've ever been on the fence, then this one's for you.

  • My idea of hell...
    Oct 14 2026
    My cycle app says nine days until my period, and I woke up already in it. Sore, irritable, emotions turned all the way up, and parenting while PMS, which is honestly my idea of hell.So today I go through all four phases of the cycle and why they feel more intense now that I'm 40, what the research says about the best kind of parenting and where I actually land, and then I call my mom, because sometimes you just need your mommy. She's in the thick of it with my dad's physical therapy, which he has decided is karate.Come along. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Stephen doesn't fully recognize the person he was during his relapse. Honestly, neither do I.He's my ex-husband, and today he tells me what actually happened during the year I only saw from the outside -- the restraining order, an FBI investigation into threats we now know he never sent, and a trip to Moldova for a medically induced detox. A year sober later, he's back in our kids' lives, and back on my couch as a friend.Come sit with me. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

By the end she'd sworn she's never seeing a psychic again, and I gave her about a week.We also get into the dream crush she told her entire in-laws about at breakfast, the party I throw in the car on the way to school, why every massage should be 90 minutes, and why women seem to end relationships out of nowhere.Grab the beverage of your choice and come sit with me.

  • Pregnant at 14 turned law professor
    Sep 23 2026
    Has one person ever stood between you and the version of your life where you quit? Amie has one, and hers would not sign a piece of paper.She walked in to withdraw from college while her first marriage was falling apart. Her professor told her to come back tomorrow, and then handed it back unsigned, because she had talked it over with the other professors and they all thought that if they let her go she would not come back. Amie finished with a 4.0 while raising four kids. She teaches now, she runs a legal studies program, and in 2025 she won professor of the year.If somebody once refused to let you quit, then this one's for you. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Sep 16 2026
    Have you ever gotten hurt doing the most normal thing in the world and had almost no one believe you? Same.Former WWE Superstar Leah Van Dale spent years in the ring without a single major injury, and then went into labor with her first son and came out with nerve damage in her leg. We talk about that, plus the WWE title she won by cheating, meeting her husband while he was technically still married, and why she built an entire podcast around being a mom who refuses to stop being hot.If any of that sounds familiar, then this one's for you.

  • the hardest part of motherhood
    Sep 9 2026
    My son can't be left alone for ten seconds — I found that out again this morning when he hopped our front gate in his boxers and beat me to school on his own scooter.By the time I caught up he was mid-meltdown on campus, and I walked away scratched and bitten and trying not to spiral. I get into what actually helped — a book I'm currently obsessed with, the exact phrases I use to talk him down, and why I think last night's birthday-party sugar had a lot to do with it. Then we lighten it way up: my daughter's new favorite phrase, a week of creatine and some concerning bloat, and whether it's a bad idea to bring my ex-boyfriend to a wedding in Cabo.
