This week, Eve Rodsky - author of domestic partnership bible, Fair Play - joins Catt in her bedroom for a pre-quarantine deep dive into sharing the workload at home.
Before getting into the details of her game-changing book, Eve opens up about her early life -- from being raised by a single mom in the Lower East Side of New York, to graduating from Harvard with a law degree and moving on to build an incredibly successful legal career.

But even with all these wins in her professional life, Eve's home dynamic was flailing. She realized there needed to be a dramatic change if her marriage was going to survive. So, after a life-changing "blueberry moment" (don't worry, she explains), she crowd-sourced hundreds of men and women about their division of labor and went to work building a roadmap for revival.

Also in this episode, Catt shares some insight on her Vanity Fair essay about related issues (if you haven't read it yet, go check it out)! https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/04/catt-sadler-mom-tax-equal-pay

We are back in Catt's bedroom this week, and this time, she's joined by Lauren Paul and Molly Thompson - founders of the nonprofit Kind Campaign that aims to end girl-on-girl bullying in our schools.

The two real-life best friends share a behind-the-scenes look at how they bonded over being bullied as young girls and why they decided to channel that pain into something productive. After meeting in college, Lauren and Molly joined forces and decided to travel the country to make a documentary on the "mean girl" phenomenon, and what we can do to foster forces of kindness instead.

The film grew into an international movement, and the women now work with schools across the globe through in-person assemblies (when those were allowed) and educational curriculum, to help promote inclusivity, love and acceptance among girls and teens.

Lauren also shares a peek at what it's like to be married to actor Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, BoJack Horseman) and how his support has made it possible for Kind Campaign to climb to new heights. And in this episode, Catt shares a story about experiencing harassment by fellow females during her freshman year of high school - and who stepped in to stand up for her. 

*A note, this was taped months before the Coronavirus hit, so the interview was done in-person in Catt's home

This week Ada Calhoun joins Catt in her virtual bedroom to discuss her book "Why We Can't Sleep: Women's New Midlife Crisis," and share insight into the many struggles Gen X women (and, frankly, all women) face today.

Ada opens up about her personal struggles that inspired the book, from financial issues to career roadblocks, and why it's so crucial to destigmatize the changes women go through in middle age. She shares stories from real people she interviewed for her book, talks about the importance of lowering our expectations - especially in the time of Coronavirus -- and explains why we need to stop comparing ourselves to others.

Also in this episode, Catt continues to share details of her own journey with perimenopause, and why taking a social media hiatus was exactly the medicine she needed at this time.

On this week's episode, Catt welcomes former Secret Service agent, reality TV host, and author, Evy Poumpouras, to her virtual bedroom.

Evy has been a badass since a young age. Growing up New York Tough, she ended up joining the NYPD, serving as a first responder on the frontlines of 9/11, and eventually becoming a Secret Service agent and a special polygrapher.   

From working for former president Barack Obama, to continuing to serve her community by delivering coffee and donuts to police during this Coronavirus pandemic, Evy teaches us that our most powerful weapon is our voice. She also recently wrote a book, "Becoming Bulletproof: Life Lessons from a Secret Service Agent," and is a judge on the Bravo reality TV series, "Spy Games."

Also in this podcast, Catt opens up about being an optimist, learning to embrace the unknown, and why Evy has inspired her to start doing pull-ups.

This week's episode is a bit of a departure from our standard interview. In this episode - recorded remotely - therapist Sheva Rajaee joins Catt in her virtual bedroom to have an honest, constructive conversation about mental health.

Focusing on the overwhelming conditions of this COVID-19 lockdown, Sheva shares helpful insight on working through anxiety, how to better cope with increased stress, and why we all need to be just a little bit more forgiving of ourselves. 

We also learn how Sheva's own OCD diagnosis led her to start the Center for OCD and Anxiety, why she made a dramatic career shift from marketing and advertising, to psychotherapy, and what healing powers lie within our pets.

Sheva also answers some listener questions like, "How do I help my spouse to understand what it is like to have anxiety?" and "What can families with younger children do to cope during this time?".

Also in this episode, Catt shares why creating a schedule -- and sticking to it -- has helped manage her stress and anxiety during these trying times. And, she opens up about her hopes for change following the pandemic.

Make a bowl of popcorn and get a glass of wine for this one, because teen dream Jennifer Love Hewitt is in Catt's bedroom this week (recorded pre-pandemic, of course).

In part one of her two-part conversation with JLH, Catt starts at the beginning -- with Jennifer's early forays into entertainment, from singing in Texas bars as a school kid, to landing her first Hollywood job.

With a career that spans three decades and includes landing a record deal in Japan, we find out all sorts of quirky secrets about Jennifer. Like why once-upon-a-time she signed autographs as Alyssa Milano, why her friends call her the "Forrest Gump of pop culture," and the real reasons she uses Instagram filters (hint: the reason we all do! because they're fun!)

And, in this episode, Catt shares how her first dream career was to be an actress. Also, what she does to block out social media trolls and stop comparing herself to others.
