About this episode

I feel so lucky because in the first season of my podcast, my guests have been incredibly vulnerable and we’ve covered a lot of ground in terms of our lives and careers. But I want to dig a little bit into a theme that’s come up with quite a few guests and that’s close to my heart – parenting. I became a parent for the first time in 2020 and it’s all still very new to me. Having these conversations on the show with parents and soon-to-be parents has been really special for me. In this episode, you’ll hear some of my favorite moments talking about parenthood with “Orange is The New Black” star Uzo Aduba, Busy Philipps of “Girls5Eva” and “Taste the Nation’s” Padma Lakshmi.


A Sony Music Entertainment & A Kid Named Beckett production.
