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.

(Singers Taking Action Reaching Souls). Her journey has taken her across the globe, captivating audiences with her extraordinary talents. Natalie’s passion for music was evident from a young age. Remarkably, she could sing before she could articulate coherent sentences. By the tender age of thirteen, she had already assumed the role of choral director and conductor, a role she initially embraced at her childhood church. Her professional journey commenced at age 17 when she graced the stage as a soloist at the iconic Carnegie Hall. It reached a pinnacle years later as she performed in the enchanting setting of the French Riviera for the late Prince Rainier of Monaco. As a singer and actress, Natalie has left an indelible mark in the world of entertainment. Her impressive credits include the role of the Gypsy Acid Queen in two international tours of “The Who’s Tommy” (Germany/Canada), Constance in David Merrick’s “Oh, Kay!,” Andrea Devereaux in “Once on This Island,” and the thought-provoking “A Brief History of White Music.” Her talents have also graced the silver screen, with notable appearances in feature films such as “Mississippi Masala” (opposite Oscar winner Denzel Washington) and “Amazing Grace & Chuck” (alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Gregory Peck). On the regional stage, Natalie’s versatility shines through. She has portrayed Mary Magdalene in “Jesus Christ Superstar,” Ronnette in “Little Shop of Horrors,” Annie in “Porgy & Bess,” and Mayme in “Intimate Apparel,” earning her a well-deserved Denver Post Ovation Award nomination for best supporting actress in a musical. Most recently, she enthralled audiences as Tryshia in “The Last Session” at Town Hall Arts Center and starred in the new musical “Trav’lin” alongside Broadway veteran Milton Craig Nealy at Arvada Center before the COVID pandemic. Natalie’s vocal prowess extends to prestigious orchestral performances, including appearances as the soprano soloist with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, where she delivered captivating renditions of Duke Ellington’s “Sacred Concert” and “Too Hot to Handel.” She has also graced the stages of the Florida Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, and Sinfonia Gulfcoast with her mesmerizing vocals. Her journey also led her to headline at the former Stardust Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in their original production, “Enter the Night,” and opened for the esteemed poet laureate, Dr. Maya Angelou. Natalie’s dynamic range and versatility were on full display as she embodied the role of Mother Wisdom in a new opera about the life of Mary Magdalene titled “Woman of Light,” earning her a second Denver Post Ovation Award nomination as best supporting actress in a musical.

Becky Robbins is native to Colorado where she lived until moving to California to honor both mountains and the ocean. The variety in her career choices have included medicine, the business of creation and development of personal growth and at this time, the business of creating art. Her life choices that have contributed to this endeavor owe to her love of Nature both above and below the sea, of worldwide indigenous cultures, science, music, theater and the exploration of the psychology and spirituality of humans and creatures. Her art became the focus of her life after leaving the personal development business and having a curiosity for all things that have profound depth and interconnectedness in tangible and ethereal ways. Minimal academic art education created the freedom for Becky to immerse in series of art vastly different and unique that have led her to this current expression which is her signature style, while every painting is its own individual world. Her art is informed by her love of adventure travel and back roads experiences chosen to illuminate the land, its creatures, the cultures and their self-expression in both lifestyle and the things they make. This depth of knowledge which is never complete nor permanent is what gives each painting its own voice and keeps Becky returning to the easel as a tool for her own awareness and expansion in her personal life and operating system in the world at large. Her work is experienced in the images portrayed, collaborated at times with other artists and photographers, and in the manner the viewer is taken on a personal journey of their own. Each oil painted piece is a half-year process itself and perceived through the lens of the artist and the world she inhabits. Her current projects include a show created for television called The Art of Art. It’s a cinematographic experience seeing individual creators in the process of their craft and it’s hosted by Becky. She interviews these masters and ties in those who use the creations. How does paint get in a tube? That question created the trip through the Old Holland Paint Company labs where pigments from the Masters were obtained and are still used to make some of the best oil paints in the world. That episode ends with a tour through the Restoration Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in NYC. A visual feast! Another episode stars saddle makers and the intricate process they use and includes the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and how a group is focused on creating indoor arenas for the children to be able to have refuge in the long South Dakota winters, reviving their heritage by learning to ride horses, participating in relay races between tribes and much more. Becky has had remarkable healing experiences after 2 total knee replacement surgeries by using lasers that are unique in the world, created by a unique doctor and is devoted to getting these out into the world to assist others with healing from surgeries, injuries, cognitive decline and more. It’s a passion for her to help others achieve the freedom she now has. Becky describes herself as an outdoor person when not in her studio, loves an active lifestyle of skiing, diving, hiking, and and more. An avid learner, she enjoys her guitar, djembe drums, research and discovery. She is an advocate of HeartMath and meditation, her spiritual evolution and care of this planet Earth. She is a devoted supporter of La Jolla Playhouse and Scripps Institute of Oceanography’s Birch Aquarium and a program Just Like My Child for Girl Power in Uganda and India. . She treasures her family and lives and works in Del Mar, California.…
