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.

Like the show? Have a burning question? Send a text? “The solopreneur journey really is a mirror that reflects your deepest beliefs, fears, doubts, and limitations. It's a process of growth that forces you to confront not only the external and practical challenges but also the internal ones—those that affect how you see yourself, the world around you, and how you make decisions.” — Roberto Brito, from his Substack Burning Thoughts post ‘ Building a Business, Re-Building Yourself, I really enjoyed this conversation with Ricardo. It was late on a Friday, and I kind of wanted to just go home, but as with every interview - I ended up energized and excited after we talked. How Ricardo ended up in Germany Ricardo ended up in Berlin around 2010/2011 during the economic crisis in Portugal. He had a good job in his field, but realized that there wasn't a promising future for him there, so he decided to quit design a better life for himself. He had a contact in Berlin who offered him a place to stay for a month. He’d previously done an Erasmus program in Hanover, and was somewhat familiar with German culture. With a thousand bucks saved and no job or house, he moved to Germany. Now Ricardo helps senior tech and creative professionals navigate their next career move, pivot into new roles, or launch their solopreneur ventures. After 15 years in Design, Product and Innovation a burnout made him rethink about where his life was heading, and decided to face his worst fear: having his own business. Listen in to get Ricardo's insights, perspectives and unique take on making a career shift, solopreneurship, content creation and building a personal brand.

Like the show? Have a burning question? Send a text? Navigating German bureaucracy can be quite challenging, especially when you don’t speak German, are new to the processes and don’t know what support is available to you. If you’re a new parent in Germany, you’ve probably heard of Elternzeit, Elterngeld and Kindergeld and are totally overwhelmed by everything you need to take care of for your baby. And after Elternzeit, many mothers want to change jobs due to a shift in priorities or the need for more flexibility at work. Gitanjali More understands all of these challenges because she faced them too and wanted to make sure her research also benefited other parents in a similar situation. With The Confused Mother, she supports international families to successfully apply for these and other benefits available to them here in Germany. She also offers mothers two job coaching programs when they want to make a shift in their career after their Elternzeit. She is from India and has been living in Germany for 10 years, speaks fluent German, English, Hindi and Marathi and helps people new to Germany in all of these languages. In this conversation we covered: How she a long-standing family connection to Germany prompted her to learn German and eventually get a degree in International Politics at the University of Göttingen, How and why she got the idea for The Confused Mother How reach outs and direct emails to her existing network as well as strategic partners helped build her client base. Her business model of coaching, consulting and tutorials The difference in her marketing approach to indviduals vs. organizations What percentage of her business is focused on becoming a mom in Germany vs. rebooting a career after having a child. The biggest challenges she sees expat/immigrant women facing when becoming a parent and restarting their careers afterwards in Germany.
