Mic'd and Medicated: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert
You have thought it. We said it. Out loud. On a microphone. For everyone.
Mic'd and Medicated is Caroline and Eva — two married moms in New York City who refuse to pretend everything is fine. Every week they sit on the couch and get into the conversations most women are having in their heads but nowhere else. Marriage. Motherhood. Ambition. Aging. Identity. Politics. Sex. Money. The things you think about at 2AM that you would never say at a dinner party.
They overshare on purpose. Because every time they say the thing nobody is supposed to say, someone writes in and says — I thought I was the only one. You are not the only one. That is the whole point.
Guests range from reproductive endocrinologists to celebrity jewelers to politicians to parenting experts who are also, like everyone else, completely figuring it out as they go.
Funny. Honest. Occasionally chaotic. Always real.
This is not a podcast for women who have it together. This is a podcast for women who are done pretending they do.
New episodes every Thursday. Unfiltered. Unafraid. Unexpert.

Confessions of Two Hoarders: Bags vs. Baggage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Caroline has three organizers going through boxes from her old apartment — her kids' first shoes, their hair, their artwork, her dead dog's ashes. Eva has a closet she and her husband couldn't open, a two-week Splenda sobriety streak, and a drawer of hotel shower caps she's never used. This week we accidentally diagnose ourselves on mic — turns out one of us is a "scarcity hoarder" and the other is a "sentimental hoarder," and neither is as unrelated to childhood as we'd like. Plus: the etymology of "cold turkey," a poop-on-a-stranger's-driveway story of the week, and why Eva's frontal lobe meme might end her marriage.
Word of the week: Entropy.
Book of the week: In Love by Amy Bloom.

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.
We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.
