This is the episode every mom—and anyone who loves a mom—needs to hear.

In this raw, honest, and hilarious episode, Mel sits down with her friend Jessie, who is weeks away from giving birth to her first child. What unfolds is the kind of real talk you rarely hear about motherhood.

Whether you're dreaming of becoming a parent, knee-deep in diapers, juggling teenage drama, or reflecting on your grown-up kids, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. It’s also a powerful reflection on your relationship with your own mom.

Mel—26 years into parenting—keeps it real with hard-earned wisdom, regrets, and the one piece of advice she wishes someone had told her sooner.

If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough, questioned every decision, or worried you're getting it all wrong... you're not alone. And you need to hear this.

This isn’t a sugar-coated take on parenting. It’s real, relatable, and filled with laugh-out-loud moments and deeply moving insights.

Whether you’re a new mom, a seasoned pro, or reflecting on your own childhood, this episode will make you feel seen, understood, and a whole lot better about the job you’re doing.

This is also one to share—with your mom, your sister, your daughter, your mother-in-law, your friends. Especially as Mother’s Day approaches, this episode is a gift.

Today’s episode could change (or save) your life. It’s a must-listen.

You’ll hear from the world’s leading longevity doctor about the simple, proven changes that will help you live longer, feel better, and prevent diseases like cancer, heart disease, and dementia.

Today, Mel sits down with one of the world’s most respected scientists, Dr. Eric Topol — a pioneering cardiologist, longevity researcher, and one of the top 10 most cited medical researchers alive today — to reveal the real, evidence-based approach to longevity.

This is the science and art of living better, longer.

Forget the trendy anti-aging supplements, infusions, and miracle cures: Dr. Topol is here to give you the truth on exactly what the science says about how to reverse the biological age of your organs, add up to a decade of healthy years to your life, and avoid the biggest killers we all fear.

You’ll learn:
-The #1 free intervention proven to slow aging
-The three everyday habits that are aging you faster (and how to fix them)
-How to exercise and eat for optimal health and longevity
-The truth about supplements, IV drips, and anti-aging clinics
-Why loneliness is as dangerous to your health as smoking
-How exercise can be more effective than antidepressants
-The breakthrough blood tests and tools that could predict — and prevent — diseases decades before they happen

This conversation is full of science and hope, because as Dr. Topol says: “It has never been a more exciting time in medicine.”

Whether you want to prevent disease, feel better, or just live a longer, healthier life, this episode will give you the real plan for how to do it.

If you love someone, send them this episode. It could save their life.

This episode is a must-listen if you or someone you love has ever struggled with weight.

Today, Mel sits down with world-renowned, triple board certified endocrinologist and obesity specialist, Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, to explain the medical truth behind your metabolism, weight loss, and the most talked-about medications on the planet: GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy. Today, she’s breaking down exactly how these medications work, who they’re for, and the critical mistakes people are making when using them without medical supervision.

If you're confused about these drugs, worried about the side effects, or curious if they could help you or someone you love—this episode will answer every question you've been too afraid to ask.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
-The 5 real causes of weight gain—and why only one is in your control
-Why obesity is not your fault (and how blaming yourself is holding you back)
-What GLP-1 medications like Ozempic actually do in your body
-The #1 risk no one is talking about when taking these drugs
-Why these medications can change your brain, your cravings, and your relationship with food
-How to avoid “Ozempic face,” hair loss, and muscle loss while on these drugs
-How to know if you’re a good candidate—and the red flags to watch out for

You’ll also hear Dr. Salas-Whalen’s personal story of using the medication herself after hitting perimenopause—and what she wants every woman to know about managing weight in midlife.

This episode is your science-backed, shame-free guide to understanding GLP-1s, your metabolism, and what real help looks like.

If you or someone you love is struggling with weight, send them this episode. It could change their life.
