Return of the Mack | Valerie Bertinelli | Mackenzie Phillips
She's back. In Part 2 of one of the most requested conversations in Getting Naked history, Valerie and Mackenzie Phillips pick up right where they left off — and go even deeper. They begin with listener voicemails, including questions about working together again and about Mackenzie's memoir High on Arrival — a book Mackenzie is clear about: it's not a book about incest. It's a memoir. A full life, on the page, with honesty and courage. From there, the conversation moves into some of the most raw and important territory the podcast has ever covered: the 90-day trauma program that changed Mackenzie's life, the letter she received at work years after the book came out that confirmed what she had always had a knowing about, and the EMDR therapy that finally helped both women begin to process what had happened to them. They talk about carrying someone else's shame, about forgiving a father on his deathbed not for him but for herself, and about what recovery actually means — for drugs, for trauma, for survival of any kind.They also talk about grief — the recent loss of Mackenzie's dearest friend Marissa, who died four weeks after being diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer. About discovering in your 60s that you're actually an introvert. About celibacy, boundaries, and the radical act of caring for yourself.And they end where all the best conversations end: with two women who have known each other for over 50 years, sitting across from each other for the first time, saying I love you and meaning every word.In the Full Reveal — exclusively for Valerie's Place members — they get into the naked truth about recovery: what it really takes, the many paths to the top of the mountain, and why, as Gabor Maté says, the question is never "why the drugs" but always "why the pain."📅 September 18th at 1pm ET — Live After-Show with Mackenzie Phillips.

One Pod at a Time | Valerie Bertinelli | Mackenzie Phillips | One Day at a Time
She's the most requested guest since day one — and she was absolutely worth the wait. Valerie sits down with her oldest friend, One Day at a Time co-star, and honorary sister Mackenzie Phillips for a conversation that spans five decades of shared history, Hollywood childhood, hard-won recovery, and the kind of friendship that picks back up exactly where it left off.They go all the way back to the beginning — a chance elevator meeting at CBS when they were both 15, the making of One Day at a Time under Norman Lear's wing, and what it was like to grow up in the spotlight before anyone had a word for it. They talk about the years they lost touch, the guilt Valerie has carried about not being there during Mackenzie's darkest period, and the phone calls Mackenzie made — "I just want you to know I have six months today" — that she didn't expect returned.In the Full Reveal — exclusively for Valerie's Place members — it's 1970s Hollywood, Rick Springfield, KC and the Sunshine Band, a club they definitely shouldn't have been in, and the story of how Mackenzie got Valerie out of there before things went too far. Plus: Valerie opens up about her quiet sobriety journey, a viewer asks the question everyone's thinking ("you two need to do another sitcom"), and Part 2 is coming — because there was simply too much left to say.

Finding Home in Yourself
Valerie sits down with author Najwa Zebian — a conversation she wasn't expecting to hit this deep, but honestly, could've gone three hours. They dig into people-pleasing, building a home inside yourself instead of in other people, and why healing means letting go of who you had to be to survive. Najwa opens up about growing up in Lebanon, moving to Canada alone at 16, and how teaching a classroom of young refugees years later became its own kind of healing. They also get into boundaries, being defined by your worst moment instead of your whole story, and Najwa's new book, The One Who Broke You Can't Heal You, out August 25th. Stick around for the full reveal, where Valerie gets real about a moment she's never quite let go of — one her son witnessed, and one Najwa gently pushes her to finally sit with.

Asked & Answered 3 | Valerie Bertinelli | Getting Naked: The Podcast
Just Val and your voicemails — and this one went some places she really wasn't expecting. It covered everything from what music she's listening to besides Mammoth (Taylor Swift, obviously), to how to handle toxic social media (the block button is a gift), to how to cope when old memories and trauma flashbacks hit out of nowhere. We talked jewelry, we talked walks, and we talked about why Valerie's Place exists in the first place. One of Val's favorite Asked & Answered episodes yet.
