Amy and Margaret are both comedians and moms of three — but that’s where the similarities end. In What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood they combine their twenty-year friendship, their comic sensibilities, their usually completely-opposite approaches to parenting, plus research and interviews with the experts. They laugh about their lives as moms, call out each other’s nonsense, and

then come up with concrete solutions. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll come away feeling that maybe your slightly haphazard parenting isn't so bad after all.

We all know someone who causes chaos—both lawful and otherwise—wherever they go. Those people are sometimes called "crazymakers," a term first coined by Julia Cameron and which perfectly describes the unwelcome disruption they bring to our own peace of mind. Here's how to spot the crazymakers in your life, and how to avoid getting caught up in their mischief.

Margaret and Amy discuss:
The true definition of a crazymaker and the three top types
Why crazymakers use low-power strategies of dominance
How maintaining your own self worth helps deter crazymakers

Staying home with your kids is real work — and it has huge value. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be protected, too.

Corinne Low, Phd, author of the new book HAVING IT ALL, says: Think of your career or degree as a money machine in the closet — you may not use it now, but you want it there if life changes. Divorce, death, illness… or even just wanting to reenter the workforce one day.

You can be an amazing mom and keep your future options open. Invest in your kids — yes. But make sure you invest in your own human capital, too.

Your value doesn’t disappear because you paused your career — and your safety and security shouldn’t, either. 💛

Ever lived with a kid who knows every shark species or collects every soy sauce packet? 😄Those intense interests aren’t just adorable — they’re developmentally typical and often a sign of curiosity, skill-building, and growing individuality.

Most kids expand their interests by middle school… and some don’t — and BOTH are totally okay. 💛Lean into the joy. Cheer on the passion. This is how they learn to love learning.

Amy and Margaret talk with Dr. Corinne Low, Wharton economist and author of Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women’s Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours. Corinne shares her data-driven insights on why working mothers feel overextended, how “having it all” became an impossible equation, and how redefining success through your own “utility function” can help you build a more sustainable, meaningful life.

The conversation dives into household labor, gender roles, and the systemic forces that make modern motherhood so demanding—along with practical strategies to reclaim time, happiness, and balance.

Amy and Margaret sit down with journalist and author Irin Carmon to discuss her new book, UNBEARABLE: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America. Through research and deep reporting, Carmon exposes the complicated reality of being pregnant in today's America. Whether a pregnancy is wanted or unwanted, Carmon reveals how bias, systemic failures, secrecy and shame, and our changing policies have had profound effects on that experience and on maternal health.

They discuss:

The historical roots of reproductive medicine

Why women across every belief system are affected by criminalization, neglect, and medical bias

The myth of the “perfect pregnancy” and how silence around childbirth harms all mothers

The complicated consequences of abortion bans and restrictions on reproductive health care

Why maternal care should center respect of women’s autonomy, dignity, and humanity

Carmon offers not just critique, but hope, showing how individual courage and systemic change can coexist.
