Ask Jillian

Hi, it’s Jillian Barberie and this is my podcast Ask Jillian. You might know me from Good Day LA or FOX NFL on Sunday, but I’m pretty sure it was Sharknado 4 where I was eaten alive! For years I was the one asking the questions on TV shows, radio interviews and Red Carpets but I’ve realized at this point in my life I’m the one that needs a lot of questions answered. I mean these last few years have been a doozy, at times I haven’t had a clue which way to go except simply forward. So I want to start on a journey with all of you. This is about having open and deep discussions with old friends and new ones about their lives, getting or even giving advice and having some laughs together. There will be celebs, experts in various fields and other very interesting characters from my life, we’re going to cover it all! I’ve never been known for playing it safe and I’m not starting now, no subject is off limits! Career. Marriage. Divorce.
Single Mom. Kids. Boyfriends (yeah I’ve got stories of some famous men). Adoption. Molestation. Finding my birth family. Makeup. Fashion. Design. Sex. Friendships. Cancer. My Truth! So let’s get started. Ask Jillian!

Ep. 13 Let's talk about depression Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of Ask Jillian, Liz and I talk about depression and anxiety, how it has affected our lives in different ways. I have felt hard hit by it these last few years due to divorce, grief and cancer. But being a single parent, I so often have to put on a brave face, get up and keep going. Since my cancer diagnosis, in moments of loneliness and despair, it has been my online social media family that has lifted me up sharing your amazing stories and inspired me to have hope that it will get better. I know I am not alone, depression and anxiety affects millions of us. It is often not diagnosed, misdiagnosed or there is a shame associated with it that keeps someone from seeking help. Dealing with mental health should be considered brave. It takes incredible strength to admit you need help. I am not afraid or ashamed to talk about my depression anymore and ask for help. It's my only way out, to talk about it and take it head (that’s a pun) on!

Ep. 7 Debra Tate is a Warrior Woman! Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

Debra Tate is a Victims’ Advocate, Humanitarian, Author, Sister, Mother, Cancer Survivor, Friend and an all-round BADASS!
We met over 20yrs ago when I reached out to Debra about getting Sharon Tate, her older sister, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sharon still doesn’t have a Star and that is wrong!
I have always admired Debra’s tireless conviction for justice, her whole life has been dedicated to protecting Sharon’s legacy. We have become dear friends and I have supported Debra in any way I can since the day we met. I have gone to parole hearings with her and helped with the ongoing petitions to keep the Manson Family members from receiving parole.
In this episode we discuss the day Sharon was murdered and how Debra at 16 years old was told, the Manson Family, Once Upon Time in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino, and both of our journeys with breast cancer.
I am honored to call Debra Tate my friend, she is a true Warrior Woman who I would go into battle with any day!

Ep. 6 Michael McDonald is scary … talented! Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

Michael McDonald is an actor, director, writer, producer, stand-up comic and he’s hilarious! He was one of the stars of the comedy show MADtv. Who could forget the genius of Stuart Larkin and so many other classic characters he created? MADtv is where we met when I was in a sketch called Prehistoric Glamazon Huntress: A.D., I think it was typecasting but I nailed it anyway! We discuss his start in Hollywood at The Groundlings, being Melissa McCarthy’s teacher, his roots in horror films with Roger Corman and scene-stealing abilities in Spy and Ghostbusters. Michael was the perfect guest with stories about Kathy Griffin, comedy and crime. He even surprises me with a Mary Kay Letourneau connection.
