Emily Martens is one half of the Mom's Spaghetti Podcast, and one whole groovy lady. She has shockingly red hair and the kind of fiery wit that keeps me on my toes. She lost 135 lbs after having gastric sleeve surgery, and opened up to me about what it feels like put a teensy weensy bit of that weight back on. We waxed philosophical about the world's best candy bar, the anxiety you feel when there isn't enough food at the party, and what it's like to be a divorced mother of two.
