Belle Burden on Bad Prenups, Betrayal & Finding Yourself on the Other Side Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

Molly and Emese sit down with Belle Burden, author of Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage, whose story—a sudden betrayal, COVID lockdown, and a marriage that ended overnight — became one of the most talked-about pieces in The New York Times Modern Love column.

Belle gets candid about the prenup clause that came back to haunt her, why so many women unknowingly hand over their financial power in a marriage, and why she refused to pretend any of it was "amicable." And she shares the slow, unglamorous process of coming back to herself—and what she'd tell every woman to do differently.

This isn't a bitter divorce story. It's a story about self-trust, financial awareness, and the surprising gifts that can emerge from a life coming undone.

Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage is out now.

Stay Snatched: The Toolkit That Actually Works Mar 10, 2026

Show notes

We’re always trying something — new supplements, beauty hacks, sleep routines, shapewear — but today we’re going deeper. Because getting “snatched” isn’t just about how you look. It’s about feeling strong, energized, confident, and comfortable in your own skin in whatever season you’re in.

The truth is, what worked in your 20s doesn’t always work now. Hormones shift. Skin changes. Sleep changes. Muscle changes. Confidence evolves. So instead of fighting it, we’ve built a toolkit that evolves with us.

In this episode, we’re sharing what’s actually stuck — from creatine, magnesium, colostrum, and GLP-1 transparency to bone broth, muscle-building, sleep fixes, and collagen support. We get into red carpet prep, undergarments that truly smooth and support, eye-brightening tricks, red light therapy, and the beauty tools that are actually worth it.

Including one of our current favorites: ThirdLove. Known for their personalized fit (including half cup sizes from AA–H) and seriously comfortable designs, ThirdLove pieces are the kind of basics that quietly make your day better - no adjusting straps, no digging bands, just great fit and quality that actually delivers. If you want to try them for yourself, head to thirdlove.com and use code LIPSTICK15 for $15 off your first purchase.

This isn’t about extremes or 14-step routines. It’s smarter, not harder. Consistency over trends. Longevity over quick fixes.

Build your toolkit. Stay strong. Stay glowing. Stay snatched — inside and out.

Fertility Myths vs Facts: Egg Freezing, IVF, & What Every Woman Should Know Mar 03, 2026

Show notes

Fertility is one of those topics that’s either avoided entirely—or turned into a fear-fueled spiral online. So we’re cutting through the noise. Molly and Emese sit down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon (reproductive endocrinologist and author of The Lucky Egg) for a clear, science-backed conversation about what every woman deserves to understand: how fertility actually works, what’s myth vs. fact, and what to do if you’re feeling overwhelmed, behind, or panicked by the “biological clock” narrative.

We get into the truths behind AMH and ovarian reserve, egg quality vs. egg quantity, and the real-world decision making around egg freezing—including the best age window, what the process really feels like, and why it’s not a guarantee, but can be a powerful option.

Dr. Lucky also breaks down how far IVF has come—why success rates have improved, how genetic testing can lower miscarriage risk, and we debunk the biggest fears we keep hearing.

If you’re in your 20s thinking ahead, in your 30s asking “what now?”, or in your 40s trying to stay hopeful, this episode is your no-shame, no-gatekeeping fertility roadmap—built on facts, compassion, and the truth that you’re not a statistic.

DWTS Peta Murgatroyd’s Beauty + Wellness Routine: Dry Skin Staples, Serums, & Red Light Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

Molly and Emese sit down with ballroom icon, entrepreneur, and mom of three Peta Murgatroyd for a real, behind-the-scenes look at life on and off Dancing With the Stars.

Peta opens up about the intense physical demands of touring and competing — from nonstop rehearsals and injuries to the discipline it takes to perform at the highest level week after week. She shares how dance shaped her resilience from a young age and what contestants are never prepared for when they step onto the DWTS stage.

The conversation also dives deep into Peta’s beauty and wellness routine — including her go-to hydrating skincare products, K-beauty favorites, red light therapy, peptides, supplements, and the energy hacks that helped her survive grueling tour schedules.

Plus, Peta breaks down her foolproof self-tan prep tips, how to avoid streaks, fix mistakes, and make your glow last — and the story behind launching Peta Jane Beauty to solve the biggest tanning mistakes women make.

Buy, Save, Splurge, or Skip: Winter Style Hot Takes Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

We’re diving headfirst into our fashion hot takes! We get into what’s actually worth splurging on and where saving makes sense, from coats, bags, denim, and shoes to the everyday pieces you reach for over and over again. There’s plenty of talk about designer outlet wins, high–low dressing, airport outfits, Sambas, barrel jeans, athleisure fatigue, and the trends we’re loving and the ones we’re ready to move on from.

We also dive into how to get dressed when winter feels endless and your closet suddenly feels uninspiring. From layering and texture to scarves, winter whites, and the idea of dopamine dressing, we break down what actually helps you feel more put-together without chasing every trend or buying an entirely new wardrobe.

Along the way, we answer your questions on everything from skinny jeans and white shoes to whether athleisure belongs outside the gym and which bags feel timeless versus overplayed. It’s candid, opinionated, and exactly the kind of fashion conversation we’d be having if you were sitting with us.

Kim Kardashian’s Trainer On Protein, Lifting & The “No Excuses” Routine Feb 10, 2026

Show notes

If your January motivation is already gone (same), this episode is your reset — without the guilt spiral.

We’re joined by Senada Greca — strength coach, founder of WeRise, and yes, Kim Kardashian’s personal trainer — to break down what actually works when it comes to fitness, consistency, and building a body you feel strong in (not punished by). Because by February, most people aren’t “lazy” — they’re just burned out from setting unrealistic goals and trying to do too much too fast.

We talk about why so many women fall off their routines, how to build discipline when you don’t feel motivated, and the simple strategy shift that changes everything: start smaller than you think, stay consistent, and let it build. Senada shares her method for sustainable strength training (even if you only have 30 minutes), what to prioritize in a week, and why lifting weights won’t make you bulky — it will make you healthier, stronger, and more confident.

If you’ve been feeling like you can’t stay consistent, you don’t know where to start, or you’re tired of starting over — this episode will make you feel capable again.

Burned Out, Distracted, and Exhausted? You’re Not Broken Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

Today’s episode is one every woman needs right now — because if you’re feeling distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, or like your brain has 47 tabs open at all times… you’re not alone.

We’re joined by psychologist, behavioral scientist, and author Dr. Zelana Montminy, whose work focuses on resilience, focus, and what it actually takes to feel grounded in a world that constantly pulls at our attention. And no — this isn’t about productivity hacks or doing more. It’s about coming back to yourself.

We talk about why so many women are living in low-grade burnout without realizing it, how multitasking and being “always available” is quietly frying our nervous systems, and why distraction isn’t just a kids’ problem — it’s an adult epidemic.

Dr. Zelana breaks down how focus isn’t about grinding or optimizing — it’s about presence and intention. We get into simple, realistic shifts that actually help: micro moments of calm, rethinking your relationship with your phone, why silence matters more than you think, and how modeling regulation (not perfection) changes everything — especially for our kids.

If you’ve ever thought, Why can’t I focus anymore? Why am I so tired? Why does everything feel urgent? — this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and a little more grounded by the time it ends.

How To Navigate Friendships As You Get Older: FOMO, Jealousy, And Changing Standards Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

Today’s episode is a little different. Because lately we’ve been feeling it: the shift into your 40s and 50s is real. Friendships change. Your body changes. Your kids grow up overnight. And somehow you’re expected to keep up with all of it while also looking cute, staying calm, and being everyone’s emotional support system.

So we’re zooming out and having the unfiltered conversation about what it actually feels like to grow up in this stage of life — from navigating adult friendships (and learning how to set boundaries without guilt), to dealing with jealousy, comparison, and social media dynamics that no one talks about… but everyone feels.

We get into how to maintain close friendships when everyone is busy with work and kids, why your standards shift as you get older, and the “hard truth” that not everyone is meant to come with you into every season.

And because it wouldn’t be Lipstick on the Rim without some beauty + body talk, we’re also sharing what’s helped us feel more confident as we age.

Turkey Neck, Dry Skin, Random Acne: Hormones Might Be Running the Show Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

At some point, almost every woman has the same moment: you look in the mirror and think, wait… what just happened? Your jawline looks different, your skin feels thinner or drier, your neck isn’t snapping back the way it used to — and suddenly your skincare routine isn’t working the way it always has.

We're breaking down how hormones actually show up in your skin and hair, why so many changes seem to happen “overnight,” and what’s really going on beneath the surface. From collagen loss and barrier damage to dryness, sensitivity, acne, thinning hair, and those random chin hairs no one warned us about — this is the conversation every woman wishes she had sooner.

We also cover what actually helps (and what’s mostly hype): skincare basics that still matter, in-office treatments worth considering, at-home devices, supplements, and how to think about hormone therapy without fear or overwhelm.

If you’re feeling confused, targeted by a million products, or wondering where to even start — this episode is your clear, calm guide to understanding hormone-related skin changes and making smarter, more informed choices.

How Celebrity Makeup Artist Pati Dubroff Creates Red Carpet Looks Jan 13, 2026

Show notes

If you’ve ever saved a photo of Margot Robbie or Sofia Richie as “makeup inspo," this is the episode. Celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff sits down with us to break down what’s actually in her makeup bag, the exact products she uses on Hollywood’s biggest faces, and—most importantly—how to recreate the look yourself.

From the red carpet to press tours to Sofia Richie’s viral wedding glam, Pati shares how she creates skin that looks like skin—never heavy, never overdone. We get into her non-negotiable skin-prep routine (microcurrent, facial massage, cold tools), why powder is the enemy as skin changes, and the cream products she swears by for glow that actually lasts.

Pati reveals her holy-grail foundations, her favorite blushes, balmy highlighters, lip liners, mascaras, and the under-$30 essentials she never travels without. She also weighs in on beauty trends worth keeping versus what to toss immediately.

Beyond makeup, we talk energy, wellness, and what it really means to feel beautiful. Consider this your go-to guide for modern glam, aging beautifully, and enhancing what you already have.
