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.
Mic'd and Medicated: Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert
The Fertility Conversation We Should’ve Had at 22
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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 our daughters before panic sets in, and why men need to be part of this conversation too. From ambition and delayed adulthood to single-mom-by-choice culture, this episode goes where most polite conversations never do.
Along the way, Dr. Knopman shares real stories from the front lines of fertility medicine — including how frozen eggs can turn into a baby years later in ways that feel miraculous. They also get honest about the things no one taught us: how to make a bed, boil an egg, or plan for our biological future.
Unfiltered, hilarious, and unexpectedly emotional, this is the fertility conversation you wish you’d had ten years ago.

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.
