Celebrity stylist Karla Welch has dressed the world’s biggest stars including Tracee Ellis Ross, America Ferrera, Olivia Wilde, and Justin Bieber, but the greatest accomplishment of her life may just be her work to fight period poverty. Period poverty – defined as a lack of access to menstrual products or education – affects millions of people who menstruate every day. As the co-founder and CEO of The Period Company, Karla built a mission-driven business that makes affordable, long-lasting period underwear more accessible to everyone, both in the United States and globally. Karla sits down with us to spread the message and show how you can get involved. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the co-creator and star of “Broad City”, Ilana Glazer spent her twenties perfecting the relatable buddy comedy about trying to "make it" in New York. Ilana’s new movie “Babes” also draws from her own experience, this time of becoming a mom in her early thirties, to portray the messy, hilarious, and poignant reality of motherhood and how it can test even our most cherished lifelong friendships. She spoke with us about what pleasure looks like in her thirties, why she hates it when people call pregnancy “gross” and how she’s learned to manage her nerves.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After 13 years as one of the most respected and recognizable news anchors at CNN, Brooke Baldwin left the network at the height of her career – not because of the stress of covering the pandemic or the tumultuous Trump presidency, but because of the toxic work culture, bullying, and unequal treatment she experienced. Years later, Brooke calls that transformative time in her life and its aftermath her “unraveling," and she credits it with finally finding her own voice amidst the noise. She joins us to share how she garnered the strength to reinvent herself and what she’s up to now that she has entered her bad girl era. The list is long!
