What happens when the life you imagined becomes a life you never saw coming? Actress Rebecca Gayheart-Dane joins Laura and Kristina for a deeply personal conversation about love, loss, and learning to live with the things you simply cannot control. Rebecca opens up about navigating her husband Eric Dane's devastating ALS diagnosis, his death, and the profound impact on their family. From the dizzying heights of Hollywood to the unimaginable challenges of illness, caregiving, and grief, she reflects on what it means to keep showing up for the people you love while finding a way forward yourself. With candor, humor, and hard-won wisdom, Rebecca shares what life has taught her about resilience and discovering strength you never knew you had.
How do you keep your cool when disagreeing with people is practically your job? This week, Laura and Kristina sit down with political strategist, Fox News star, podcaster, and author Jessica Tarlov, whose new book, I Disagree, couldn't be more timely. Jessica gets candid about navigating the noise, standing her ground, and the Roger Federer quote that helps keep it all in perspective. But beyond the political sparring and television lights, there's the daily juggling act of career, motherhood, family, and finding a minute for yourself. Turns out, even the coolest girls can't do it all. And you know what? That's fine.
Who says you have to wait for someone to give you a seat at the table? Monica Padman certainly didn't. As co-creator and co-host of the wildly successful Armchair Expert, she's helped build a podcast empire by trusting her instincts, embracing the unexpected, and rewriting the rules of what a career can look like. This week, Monica joins Laura and Kristina to talk about finding her voice and betting on herself. From career pivots to building something entirely your own, this is a conversation about ambition and reimagining in an ever-changing Hollywood landscape.
Getting fired is a blow to the ego. But getting canned with no savings? That's the real nightmare. This week, New York Times money columnist Ron Lieber joins Laura and Kristina to talk about what to do when the paychecks stop. Ron argues that the best time to prepare for getting fired is when you still have a job—and gives us an invaluable roadmap to build the ultimate career safety net.
What if rage isn’t something to suppress—but something to use? Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill sit down with Tarana Burke, legendary activist and founder of the ‘me too.’ movement, for a conversation about grace, getting fired, and the cathartic power of rage. Tarana talks about losing her job (which, fatefully, super-charged the ‘me too.’ movement), the financial anxiety that followed, and the sisterhood that helped pull her through. She argues that hope is a strategy, shame is self-sabotage, and shares where, after a decade, her revolutionary movement is heading.
How do you learn to trust your instincts - and keep trusting them once everyone else starts paying attention? Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill sit down with designer and entrepreneur Gabriela Hearst for a candid conversation about intuition, ambition, success, setbacks, and staying grounded through all of it. From following her instincts when the path ahead wasn’t obvious to knowing when to tune out the noise, she opens up about ambition, setbacks, and how to ignore the bullshit.
CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward has built an extraordinary career reporting from some of the most dangerous places in the world. She knows fear intimately — and believes that learning to listen to it, rather than run from it, can save your life. But this conversation isn’t just about war zones. Clarissa joins Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill to talk about the fears we all face: failure, shame, uncertainty, other people’s opinions, and the scary business of trusting yourself when you don’t know what comes next.
What’s the difference between 15 seconds of viral fame and an audience that actually sticks around? This week, Laura and Kristina sit down with Kevin Allocca—author of Videocracy and Global Director of Culture & Trends at YouTube—to talk about the real math behind modern internet attention. Before he was tracking global trends at YouTube, Kevin faced his own career derailment: getting let go from The Huffington Post. He shares what that setback taught him, how he pivoted into tech, and why getting fired might just be the best prerequisite for finding your true lane. Plus, Kevin breaks down the vital distinction between chasing viral hits and building a loyal, long-term audience, sharing what creators and brand-builders get wrong about online longevity.
