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.
Episodes
Two NYC moms walk into a couch — one's leaving for Miami, the other's staying — and a third native New Yorker joins them to make it make sense.
This week Eva and Caroline are joined by Mallory Schultz — founder and creative director of luxury event studio House of Mal, former Condé Nast editor (Bon Appétit, Self, Martha Stewart's Everyday Food), and a fourth-generation New Yorker raising her own kids i...
Death, divorce and moving are the three most significant life changes a person can go through. We're not dead. We're not divorced. But one of us is moving to Miami — and apparently that qualifies.
This episode is about why moving is so much harder than it looks. Not the logistics. The psychology. When you move you have to address every single thing you've ever accumulated. Every dress, every dish, ever...
This week's guest is Melissa Gellman Weiss — Barry's CMO, founder of Re/Gen, and one of the most honest women we've had on the show.
And we mean honest.
Melissa grew up in New Jersey but went to private school in New York City — and still doesn't lead with the NJ part. Her husband took one look at her NYC friends and said he didn't want their kids growing up like that. So they moved to Larchmo...
Season 2 is here — and we have a big reveal that we are absolutely not telling you in the description because we have finally learned something about marketing.
What we will tell you: New York is giving Detroit energy, other cities are looking very sexy right now, and we just paid our taxes so emotions are running high.
This season we are smarter, funnier, and slightly more plugged in than before — which, to be fair, ...
We did it. Season 1 of our podcast is officially complete—and somehow, two self-proclaimed “techtards” made it to 55 episodes.
From recording our first episode with no audio to convincing ourselves we understand mics, lighting, editing, and social media…this has been chaos, growth, and a lot of laughs.
In this Season 1 finale, we’re reflecting on:
- The highs, the lows, and our favorite mean comments (honestly, some ...
Most women are burnt out trying to do it all—career, family, self—and somehow still feel like they’re failing at every turn. So we have to ask… is “having it all” actually real, or is it the biggest lie we’ve been sold?
In this episode of Mic’d and Medicated, we sit down (again) with Flavia Masson—screenwriter, artist, and a married woman who chose not to have children—to rip apart the pressure women face to be every...
Everyone has pet peeves… we just decided to say ours out loud (hopefully not so loud that we annoy you).
Some of these are minor. Some are completely unhinged. And some might actually be… neurological.
You might be dealing with misophonia—that very real phenomenon where certain sounds (gum smacking, soup slurping, aggressive keyboard typing on airplanes
) instantly trigger your nervous system.
But not all pet peev...
This week on Mic’d & Medicated, we sit down with Dr. Marnie Nussbaum, the Joan Rivers-meets-Elle Woods of dermatology.
From Botox and lip fillers to parenting chaos and midlife confidence, she spills the truth with humor, heart, and unfiltered advice. Get ready to laugh, learn, and finally embrace aging—and yourself—on your own terms.
Whether you’re curious about the science behind cosmetic procedures, juggling m...
What does it truly mean to build a family — and what happens when the path isn’t traditional?
In this episode of Mic’d & Medicated, clinical psychologist Dr. Laura Fechter who specializes in couples with infertility and exploring adoption joins us on the couch. We unpack the emotional complexities of family planning, infidelity, adoption, cultural identity, and the decision to have — or not have — children.
We e...
What does modern motherhood really look like — behind the curated Instagram squares and school pickup smiles?
This week on Mic’d and Medicated, we sit down with Lyss Stern, founder of DivaMoms, for an unfiltered conversation about parenting, ambition, mental health, and raising resilient kids in Manhattan.
We talk about:
• Why most moms secretly feel like they’re failing
• How vulnerability becomes your greatest s...
Are your hormones actually the problem?
In this episode of Mic’d and Medicated, we sit down with double board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Caroline Messer to break down what’s really going on with hormones, metabolism, weight, mood, and longevity.
We talk about:
• Hashimoto’s and why it often overlaps with celiac disease
• Lactose intolerance vs. dairy allergy
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — what’s saf...
Valentine’s Day: romantic, performative, overrated… or meaningful?
In this episode of the Mic’d and Medicated Podcast, we unpack the real meaning of Valentine’s Day — from its ancient Roman origins to the modern pressures of love, marriage, and social media.
Why do expectations feel higher the longer you’re in a relationship?
Why does gift-giving create so much pressure?
And has Valentine’s Day become more a...
In this episode, we sit down with Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Executive and candidate for Governor of New York, for a candid conversation about leadership in deeply polarized times—and what actually works in government.
Bruce shares his professional journey from the private sector to public service and explains why real-world work experience matters in political leadership. We talk about how Nassau County became a ...
In this episode of Mic’d & Medicated, Caroline and Eva sit down with psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman to talk about what’s really going on in our heads — and how to make it a little more enjoyable in there.
From self-talk and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to body neutrality, social pressure, and the mental gymnastics of modern life, Dr. Goldman breaks down the mind-body connection in a way that’s practical, r...
Resolutions feel like punishment. Manifesting feels like flirting with the universe.
In this episode of Mic’d & Medicated, Caroline and Eva get unexpectedly inspired by The Secret—the idea that your thoughts aren’t just thoughts, they’re magnets. After years of forcing goals, obsessing over outcomes, and turning self-improvement into a personality flaw, they unpack why resolutions seldom work and why manifesting ...
In this week’s episode, Caroline and Eva are joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman, reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and co-author of Own Your Fertility, for the conversation no one had with us early enough. The truth? Fertility doesn’t fall off a cliff — it slowly declines until one day it suddenly matters a lot.
They dig into egg freezing as empowerment versus false security, how (and when) to talk to ou...
Holiday cards, family trips, screen time, and the illusion of “getting away.” In this episode, Caroline and Eva unpack why traveling with kids is really just a high-cost relocation—with elevated expectations and cortisol levels. You’re basically paying more to be annoyed somewhere else.
Add in NYC’s relentless pressure to leave town during every school break (Africa? Australia? Casual.), the mysterious phenomenon of ...
College acceptance used to be simple: a letter in the mail and a proud—but private—celebration. Now? It’s a full-blown production. From merch-filled bed parties and Instagram “opening the email” videos to parents basking in congratulations like they’re the ones who aced the SATs, college admissions have officially entered the twilight zone.
Eva and Caroline unpack how the college process has become a multi-year pres...
What happens when life doesn’t follow the plan — and you decide not to force it?
Caroline and Eva sit down with Danielle Frank, who pivoted from international film publicist at Miramax, to wine & spirits executive, to author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting — a satirical storybook about raising good humans (who are not whiny!) while drinking good wine.
Danielle always imagined becoming a mother, but life does...
Eva and Caroline sit down with Flavia Masson—native New Yorker of Italian and French descent, comedian, fashion girl, and film writer—for a candid, hilarious, and unexpectedly profound conversation about humor.
Flavia opens up about always seeing herself reflected in TV and film characters—think Charlotte from Sex and the City meets Emily in Paris, with a dash of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. She has lived in Paris, wor...
