This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

I Met My Younger Self for Drinks on My Sobriety Journey - 40th Birthday Episode 13:10

6 days ago13:10

13:10

Writing can be a powerful tool for healing, and I want to invite you to try this exercise with me. Writing about your experiences can help you see the lessons in your past and guide you toward an alcohol-free life. I met my 19‑year‑old self for drinks today and remembered a time when overwhelming nausea, stress, and early motherhood pushed me toward a Sprite to ease the pain. That moment reminded me how our earliest struggles set the stage for the choices we make later, teaching the importance of self-care even in the darkest times. I encountered my 22‑year‑old self, who reached for a vodka cranberry to dull the heartbreak and chaos of raising a baby amid a difficult breakup. That memory made it clear that numbing the pain only deepens it, and true healing begins when we face our emotions head-on. At 30, I saw a version of me juggling entrepreneurial dreams and heavy responsibilities, clinging to the illusion of a drink in hand to hide my vulnerability. This meeting taught me that growth comes from accepting our fears and realizing that real self-acceptance blossoms when we let go of harmful crutches. Finally, meeting my 39‑year‑old self—who chose long runs, early coffee dates, and genuine connections over another round—reminded me that transformation is possible when we honor our true selves and choose clarity over the chaos of alcohol. I encourage you to try this writing exercise on your own. Reflect on your past, write down your memories, and discover the insights that can lead you to a more authentic, alcohol-free future.

8 Signs Your Drinking Isn’t “Normal” & How to Change Your Alcohol Habits 27:50

27 days ago27:50

27:50

Have you ever wondered if your drinking habits are actually normal? I’m breaking down the eight biggest signs that made me realize I wasn’t a “normal” drinker. We’re diving into both facts and feelings because sometimes we need science to slap us in the face and other times, we know in our gut. If you’ve ever found yourself mentally preparing for drinking events, obsessing over your calendar, or pushing drinks on your friends just so it feels normal, this episode is for you. Here’s what we’re covering: - The moment I realized I wasn’t a “normal” drinker - The guilt & shame cycle keeps us stuck - Why setting new health goals without changing your drinking never works - How alcohol tricks you into thinking you’re in control - The difference between social drinkers & alcoholics And let’s be real, if you’ve ever felt proud for “handling” your drinking one night only to spiral the next, that’s a major red flag. It’s not about if you drink; it’s about how much space alcohol takes up in your mind and life.

Finding Strength in AA & Beyond on Your Sobriety Journey with Ashley Pakulski 46:07

5 weeks ago46:07

46:07

I’m so excited to have a guest on today, my friend Ashley. She has an extraordinary sobriety story. I think it helps people to hear other people’s stories so they’re like, “Hey, I’m not crazy.” And then, sometimes, you can pick up different tools or different things that work for different people. I spend a lot of time answering TikTok questions, comments, and DMs, and everyone wants to know, “How’d you do this? How’d you do that? Did you do this? Did you do that?” So I can only speak from my own experience but I think it’s great to have a guest on because I haven’t had one for a while who can talk about their experience in sobriety. Ashley tried everything to stop drinking: counseling, medication, and even detox. But going into AA really changed everything for her. She loves that we all have unique experiences; what works for one person doesn’t work for another. She talks about how she picked up tools, listened to people in meetings, and focused on real healing. I’m a big fan of AA, but I know it can be hit or miss for some people. When you find the right group, though, it changes everything. You get support, real friends and a chance actually to work the steps. It’s a big deal for anyone who feels alone, confused, or afraid to reach out. It’s all about taking it one day at a time and realizing you can absolutely create a life free from alcohol. Enjoy!

The Let Them Theory for Sobriety and Emotional Peace 32:00

6 weeks ago32:00

32:00

Sobriety has taught me a lot, but one of the biggest lessons is learning to mind my own business. Recently, I dove into Mel Robbins’ new book and her “Let Them” theory, and it felt like it was written just for this stage of my journey. The idea is simple but so powerful: let people do what they’re going to do without trying to control or react to it. Then, Let Me. It’s been a total game changer for how I handle life, relationships, and even my emotions. So, how has “Let Them” helped me let go of other people’s issues and focus on my own growth? Sobriety has already made me more empathetic and less reactive, but this mindset takes it to the next level. Whether it’s navigating challenges with my family, parenting an adult child, or dealing with situations in business, this shift has created so much emotional peace. I’ve changed the way I react to everything. The “Let Them” also relates to our emotional well-being. Dr. Amy Johnson’s perspective on being curious about your emotions and giving yourself grace really hit home for me. Feeling your emotions, rather than reacting to them, has been a huge part of my sober journey. It’s about slowing down, honoring your truth, and knowing that even uncomfortable feelings are part of the human experience. If you’re on a sober journey or just looking for ways to create a calmer, more peaceful life, this episode is for you. I’d love to hear your thoughts and how the “Let Them Theory” is working in your life! Step into Your Sober Era! Are you ready to embrace a life of clarity and empowerment?

Resources That Helped (and Didn’t Help) My Sobriety and Self-Growth Journey 26:26

7 weeks ago26:26

26:26

I’m spilling the tea on the resources that have shaped my decade-long self-growth journey and sharing what has been worth spending time and money on and what hasn’t. I’ve tried so many things over the years, from big names like Gary V to working with health coaches, going to retreats, and experimenting with tools for personal growth. This journey of self-growth has helped shape my sobriety journey. Getting sober has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been life-changing in ways I never expected. You’ll hear about what worked for me, like learning TikTok, connecting with others online, and creating boundaries that protect my inner peace. I’m also talking about the things that didn’t resonate, from certain group coaching programs to events that just didn’t vibe with me. Trust me, I’m getting real and raw about what’s helped me grow so that you can feel less alone in your journey. I’d love to hear about your journey or ideas for more topics. Let’s connect, maybe even pitch yourself to be on the show if you have your own sober journey you would like to have a real raw conversation about. You don’t have to do this alone, and always remember how amazing you are at any point in your journey. Step into Your Sober Era! Are you ready to embrace a life of clarity and empowerment?

Sober Holiday Tips 19:02

10 weeks ago19:02

19:02

The holidays are a magical time, but they can also bring stress and pressure, especially when navigating alcohol-filled social events. Remember, staying sober during the holiday season is entirely your choice. No one can force you to drink, and if someone does, you have the right to decline or even skip the event altogether. You’re an adult, and your sobriety is important. Tips for Staying Sober this Holiday Season Reflect on Past Experiences : Whether it's an embarrassing memory or a painful hangover, use past experiences to remind yourself why you chose sobriety. Bring Your Own Drinks : Samantha advises bringing your own non-alcoholic beverages to social gatherings. "It's your own prerogative to have fun without the influence of alcohol," she says. Set Boundaries and Leave if Necessary : If a situation becomes uncomfortable or too tempting, it's okay to leave. "We're adults," she emphasizes. "You can make the decision not to attend or to leave early if it’s best for your sobriety." Surround Yourself with Support : Engage with other sober individuals, whether it's through AA meetings, social media communities, or sober podcasts. Samantha highlights the importance of finding a supportive community, noting that there are resources available everywhere—from TikTok to Audible books on sobriety.

Life, Adventures, & Entrepreneurial Experiments with My Dad, Wandering Spirit 1:06:35

12 weeks ago1:06:35

1:06:35

Let me tell you about my dad. He’s lived a life packed with wild adventures and some pretty amazing entrepreneurial experiments. He once turned a Hot Wheels hobby into a family trip to Hawaii. Early morning treasure hunts for rare collectible cars turned into eBay gold. Who knew toy cars could fund a family getaway? Our family adventures were just as memorable. Camping and hiking in Utah’s wilderness? Check. Navigating off-trail with early GPS? Yep. Surviving surprise rainstorms? Always. He was always ready for adventure, whether pitching a tent or cracking a joke about how wet we’d all get. Now, in retirement, he’s a park ranger; he spilled so many stories, from enforcing no-drone rules to a hilarious DUI arrest in the wild. Add packing trips through Nevada’s Ruby Mountains, and you’ve got a guy who’s always on the move. But it’s not all outdoor adventures. My dad’s dabbled in so many markets, from selling Spongebob jewelry charms (to me) to antique collectibles on eBay. He’s thinking about starting a YouTube channel and even volunteering at Hawaii’s Volcanoes National Park. We also talked about TikTok trends, social media income streams, and why having multiple revenue sources is a must. His curiosity and endless stories left me encouraged to keep experimenting and laughing. Stay tuned; my dad’s adventures aren’t over, and neither are the stories he has to tell!

Six months sober feels surreal. After over 20 years of heavy drinking, I’ve finally stepped off the rollercoaster. My reasons for quitting? Exhaustion : mentally, physically, and emotionally. Alcohol controlled everything from my relationships, my choices, my potential and how I showed up as a mom to my kids. I swore I would be different for my children. I wanted better for my kids, my marriage, and most importantly, for myself. Sobriety hasn’t been easy, but it’s given me clarity, freedom, and a chance to ask, What do I really want in life? It’s a journey of healing and rediscovery, one I never thought I’d take but couldn’t be more grateful for. Sobriety has changed everything. My relationships, my mindset, and even my face (no more chipmunk cheeks). Six months down. The rest of my life ahead. Let’s dive in. Step into Your Sober Era!

The Truth About Trauma and Your Addictions with Jennie Pool 1:14:01

13 weeks ago1:14:01

1:14:01

Trauma and addiction are deeply connected, and somatic therapy offers powerful tools for healing. We are talking to Jennie Pool, MS, LCMHC, BSP, LMT, who is the Clinical Director & Therapist at MEND Counseling Center. Using techniques like EMDR, brain spotting, and vibroacoustic sound therapy tap into the body’s natural ability to process and release stored trauma without re-traumatization. Regulating the nervous system is key. Without grounding and restoring balance, stress can lead to nervous system fatigue. Tools like sound waves and simple grounding techniques help create a sense of safety and calm, making healing more sustainable. Coping mechanisms come in two forms: adaptive and maladaptive. Running, for example, supports overall health, while habits like excessive drinking may feel like a relief but only create more harm. Choosing healthier ways to manage stress can transform emotional and physical well-being. Healing starts from the inside out, focusing first on the body’s sensations before diving into thoughts and emotions. This bottom-up approach allows for deeper, lasting recovery, giving the nervous system the space to reset and reclaim balance. Access to somatic healing shouldn’t feel out of reach. Free resources, like YouTube tutorials and mental health tips, make practices accessible, even for those who can’t afford therapy. The body holds incredible wisdom, and when we tune in, the path to recovery becomes clear. Healing is possible, and it starts with listening to what your body needs.

FREE *OUR THINKING with BAYTOP SCOTT 1:10:09

14 weeks ago1:10:09

I’m sitting down with Baytop Scott for a real and raw conversation about balancing masculine and feminine energies and how those imbalances show up in today’s world. We’re spilling the tea on everything from political divides to personal growth, keeping it honest about our own truths and roles in how we communicate with the world. We dive into our love for the country, passion for defending others’ rights, and the importance of self-care, family support, and navigating personal struggles like addiction. And of course the aliens that are here among us. Get ready, we’re hitting hot topics like radical politics, societal changes, and why empathy matters more than ever. But this isn’t your typical divided conversation. Instead, we share ways to improve your own life while respecting others, focusing on authenticity and staying true to yourself; even on social media. Plus, Baytop teases her next big project, The Real Cosmic Joke , the whole idea is to really bring curiosity and conversation to the light of the world right now. Because, honestly, life isn’t meant to be so serious. We hope to inspire you to reflect on your journey, connect with what truly matters, and improve communication skills (oh, and stay hydrated!). It’s time to have more two-sided conversations about the things that can truly change your life and the lives of those around you.
