For Crying Out Loud

For Crying Out Loud

About

Lynette Carolla, and Stefanie Wilder-Taylor are two mothers of twins just trying not to eff it up. In this raucous hour of conversation they cover a range of topics from marriage, divorce and the space in between, to what they’re watching, where they’re going (Target) and how they manage to look so damn young. The format is informative, loose and most of all entertaining. If you’re looking for parenting advice you’ve come to the wrong place but when you hear their honest, unfiltered experiences you may come away knowing what NOT to do. Put them in your ears while you clean your floors or walk your dog and let them keep you company during what will surely become your favorite hours of the week. New shows come out Tuesdays and Fridays.

Introducing Drunkish: Rosebud Baker

Thought the FCOL crowd would like this one. In my conversation with Rosebud Baker, we trace a line from grief to grace: a political-family childhood near D.C., the loss of her little sister, finding alcohol, and then finding a room where people spoke her language. We talk about the slow work of sitting with feelings, Al-Anon, the beginnings of stand-up and writing, sobriety since 2006, pregnancy loss, IVF, becoming a mom, and the memoir she’s written along the way, . It’s a hopeful map for anyone who needs community, laughter, and permission to start again.

Drunk-ish: Anna David and the Wrong Promises

Thought FCOL people would appreciate this episode of Drunk-ish with new mom, Anna David.  We get into the infamous “Fix” headline fiasco, why community laughter can be medicine, and how she accidentally checked into the  Promises—think broken hoop, not Malibu tennis courts. Anna talks getting sober at 30, the power of 12-step, and how EMDR rewired her life. We also compare notes on early motherhood being… let’s say “not a spa day,” and celebrate her new gig co-hosting SOBER LIVING and running LEGACY LAUNCHPAD PUBLISHING.  If you like this pod please follow it on the Drunk-ish feed! And give it a review or rating! Follow Anna on everything @AnnaBDavid And find her website at AnnaDavid.com Watch the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@Drunk-ishPodcast
