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.

Do you ever feel like you're your own worst enemy? In this week’s episode, we look at all the different ways in which we ‘self-sabotage’. Having had some unexpected challenges ourselves in the recording of this episode, we dig deep into our vulnerabilities and the unexpected opportunities for growth they've revealed.
We explore how self-sabotage has become so normalized within our day to day lives that it's often hard to recognize. We share our own experiences with navigating the tricky waters of self-awareness, questioning our actions, and distinguishing between self-destruction and life's inevitable roadblocks.
We ultimately focus on how self-sabotage can also be a spiritual guide. How these self-defeating patterns can actually lead us to a deeper understanding of our experiences and ourselves.
Join us as we delve into these challenges, and emerge resilient, offering insights on how to better understand, and build healthier relationships with, our self-sabotaging behaviours.
