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.
