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, along with Producer Caelan Biehn, a father of two young girls, 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.

    This episode is right up our FCOL listeners' alley. I love this episode because Danielle Mercier is basically a walking cautionary tale and a motivational poster at the same time. We get into her early “party girl” years, her brief era of thinking Las Vegas was a wholesome alternative to LA (amazing logic), and the moment her drinking finally caught up with her in the most dramatic way possible. From there, Danielle talks about getting sober, finding her people in 12-Step, and building a life so full she actually likes herself now—which is kind of the whole point, right? Also: cocaine on a soap opera set. You're welcome.

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, Fully Baked. It's a hopeful map for anyone who needs community, laughter, and permission to start again.
