This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

S4 E9 Ray Motsi - Fostering Nonviolence Across Zimbabwe’s Tribes 37:00

hace 28 weeks37:00

37:00

In today's conversation, I'm joined by Ray Motsi from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe has a complex history, marked by significant violence stemming from the colonial rule of the British Empire and the subsequent fight for independence in the 1960s through the 80s. This history has deeply influenced the culture, where violence often became the preferred means of resolving conflict. The 1980s saw the continuation of this violence, with the government using brutal methods to suppress opposition. Amidst this culture of violence, Ray co-founded Grace to Heal in 2003, with the mission of helping people process trauma and fostering peace, reconciliation, justice, and conflict transformation in Zimbabwe. I hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation with Ray as he shares his journey of standing alongside his people as a peacemaker.

S3 E10 Andrea Campanale - Coming Alongside Spiritual Seekers & Steampunks at Green Fairs 31:03

hace 2 years31:03

31:03

In today’s conversation Rob and Ken are joined by Andrea Campanale from Kingston upon Thames, in Southwest London, England. In 2005 a friend approached Andrea with an unexpected spiritual experience. Andrea found it difficult to find the words to help her friend, and connect the experience with her own faith. Becoming more aware of spiritual seekers in her community, Andrea began to attend her local green fair to come alongside spiritual seekers. From this experience, Andrea created Sacred Space Kingston which grew out of the realization that many people are seeking greater meaning to their lives but don't necessarily expect to find that in the church or through organized religion. Andrea and her friends have found the divine is best encountered through friendship in community, by appreciating the natural world and when they are able to express their uniqueness in creativity.

In today’s conversation, we reflect on how not everyone has had a positive experience with those who are seeking to do good such as faith based communities, the foster care system, the police and so on. What if every interaction you had with someone trying to do good was painful, what if every interaction you had with a person in the support system made you feel like a waste of time. We take the time to reflect on how we might respond to someone who has been traumatized by those who ended up doing more harm than good. Please be advised that part of our conversation might be triggering for those who have been affected by sexual abuse.If you have found today’s conversation helpful, please consider sharing, rating as well as subscribing to the podcast.
