Lipstick on the Rim

Hormones, vitamins, prenatals, perimenopause packs — women’s health can feel like a full-time job. This week, Molly and Emese sit down with Victoria Gioia, co-founder and CEO of Perelel, the first OB-GYN-founded women’s vitamin brand, to cut through the noise and break down what actually works (and what’s just hype).

From prenatal vitamins and postpartum recovery to perimenopause, brain fog, and daily energy, Victoria shares the real science behind women’s supplements, how to avoid ingredient overload, and the surprising nutrients most women are missing. They talk protein, ashwagandha, creatine, fiber, calcium, and the myths TikTok keeps getting wrong.

Whether you’re trying to get pregnant, managing perimenopause, or just trying to feel like yourself again, this episode is your masterclass in women’s health, hormones, and smarter supplementation.

From $20 cleansers to the biggest names in fashion, this week’s episode proves you don’t need to spend a fortune to look (and feel) your best. Molly and Emese sit down with Leah Wyar, President of Beauty, Style, and Entertainment at InStyle, Byrdie, and Entertainment Weekly, to talk all things high-low glam — the drugstore beauty finds that actually work, the skincare trends to trust (and skip), and the timeless fashion pieces every woman should invest in.

They dive into everything from skin barrier repair, lymphatic drainage, and under-eye filler regrets to the ‘90s revival, statement tailoring, and the rise of AI in beauty. Think of it as your ultimate guide to what’s next — in beauty, fashion, and how to stay ahead of the curve without breaking the bank.

What if finding “the one” doesn’t happen on the timeline you expected? From dating in your 20s to finally meeting your person in your 30s, 40s, or even 50s, this week Molly and Emese are talking love, timing, and why it’s never too late.

Molly and Emese get personal, sharing their own love stories — the heartbreaks, the false starts, the funny (and sometimes painful) lessons — and how they ultimately met their husbands later in life. They dive into what it’s really like to date when you feel “behind,” why timing matters more than age, and how to know when someone is truly right for you.

We’re covering everything from red flags and green flags to money values, emotional readiness, the “right person, wrong time” myth, and what it actually means to treat dating like a job. Whether you’re single, dating, divorced, or just discouraged, this one’s for you. Because love doesn’t run on a schedule — and sometimes, being “late” means you get exactly who (and what) you were meant for.

Why can’t women sleep? From tossing and turning through the night, to the 3AM wake-up call that feels impossible to recover from, insomnia is one of the most common issues women face — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Molly and Emese sit down with leading sleep expert Dr. Shelby Harris to unpack the science of women’s sleep and the real fixes that actually work. We cover everything from why hormones, stress, and parenting fatigue wreak havoc on REM cycles to evidence-based strategies like CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia), sleep hygiene hacks, and supplement myths. Dr. Harris also sets the record straight on the biggest viral myths  — does age really mean you need less sleep? Does “before midnight” sleep count more? How much do women actually need? — and shares what every woman in her 30s, 40s, and 50s should know about protecting sleep for better brain health, mood, and longevity. Because better sleep isn’t just rest — it’s your key to sharper thinking, steadier mood, and better aging

She’s the woman behind your dream wardrobe (and those viral office mirror selfies). Olympia Gayot, Creative Director and EVP of Women’s & Children’s Design at J.Crew, joins Molly and Emese for a conversation on how she made J.Crew cool again—and why personal style doesn’t have to feel intimidating. We dive into her journey from studying painting to leading one of America’s most iconic brands, how motherhood unlocked a new layer of creativity, and the styling tricks she swears by (including her half-tuck and sleeve roll). Olympia shares the wardrobe staples every woman should own, how to curate a “uniform” that feels like you, and why the right belt or shoe can change everything. Plus, we get her forecast on fall’s biggest trends—from suiting and cashmere to skirts, stripes, and barn jackets—and the high/low philosophy that keeps her looks effortless and accessible. Effortless, intentional, and candid, this episode is part style masterclass, part behind-the-scenes peek into the J.Crew renaissance.

Martha. Freaking. Stewart. The icon, the legend, and in her words, the “OG trad wife” joins Molly and Emese for an unfiltered masterclass in work ethic, evolution, and how she is rewriting the rules for aging. What makes this conversation truly special is how it reveals Martha as a paradox: the homemaker and the mogul, the apron at the table and first self-made female billionaire. At once admired and criticized, mythologized and misunderstood, Martha continues to evolve.

We get her 4:00 a.m. morning routine, exact green-juice formula, smart use of injectables, and why nature is her #1 beauty tonic. She shares the mottos that have guided her, a wild Anthony Hopkins story, and her new skincare line, Elm Biosciences.Powerful, candid, and at times surprisingly vulnerable, this episode peels back the layers to uncover the Martha behind the myth—reminding us why she’s not just an icon, but an anomaly.
