Description
Welcome to Mic’d and Medicated.
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.

Send us Fan Mail 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 everything to everyone. Because no matter what you choose, it som...
Send us Fan Mail 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 peeves are about sound. Some are about something deeper—like ...
Send us Fan Mail 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 motherhood and self-care, or just need a hilarious guid...
Send us Fan Mail 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 explore: • The psychological weight behind f...
Send us Fan Mail 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 superpower • The pressure of raising kids in NYC &nb...
Send us Fan Mail 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 safe and what’s outdated fear • GLP-1 medications and...
Send us Fan Mail 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 about being seen in love than actually feeling connected? ...
Send us Fan Mail 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 model for lowering taxes while improving public safety and j...
Send us Fan Mail 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, relatable, and refreshingly non-judgmental. She also shares i...
Send us Fan Mail 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 starts in your head. They break down the law of attraction i...
Send us Fan Mail 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 par...
Send us Fan Mail 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 dads suddenly having “work calls” on Christmas Day (what exa...
Send us Fan Mail 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 pressure cooker—not just for kids, but for parents chasing ...
Send us Fan Mail 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 doesn’t always go according to plan. Rather than becoming ...
Send us Fan Mail 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, worked at Chanel, converted to Judaism, and spent time chasing ...
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we take a brutally honest look at how parents have gone from letting their kids fend for themselves to literally being drones, on top of their kids' every move. From Life 360 to Apple Tags, and even following our kids to College, we need to stop over-monitoring and start teaching our kids the skills to make their own decisions and the values to know right from wrong. And not just droning, we are snow plowing, aka plowing the road ahead for our kids so they do...
Send us Fan Mail Lucie Fink on Building a Media Empire and a Family Caroline and Eva sit down with Lucie Fink — powerhouse content creator, host, and storyteller to talk about what it takes to build a media brand while the internet is basically exploding in real time. They dive into everything from navigating career pivots during the rise of social media… to raising kids in social media. They also delve deeply into the mother–daughter dynamic and how it shifts, softens, and illuminates once y...
Send us Fan Mail This week, Caroline and Eva try to practice gratitude… and break down how appreciating everyday moments can actually improve your mental and physical health, strengthen your relationships, and even make the chaos of life feel a little lighter. Despite all those benefits, they admit that being grateful in marriage and parenting can sometimes feel so damn hard. Maybe the trick is lowering the bar—finding joy in the tiny wins, the almost-wins, and the “well, at least no one cri...
Send us Fan Mail Caroline and Eva discuss their growing frustration with today’s parenting expectations — from over-scheduling kids to using “gentle” language instead of real discipline. They miss the days when kids were allowed to be bored, independent, and a little feral … rather than constantly programmed. Maybe benign neglect wasn’t the worst strategy, and telling your kid to shut the f**k up once in a while won't cause any permanent damage. Don’t worry, Eva and Caroline would never yell...
