Description

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.

Lana Saffrin Betesh, a former lawyer, Jewish community leader and documentary producer, joins Eva virtually from London. ...
Send us Fan Mail Eva wore sneakers to an Oscar de la Renta charity luncheon, and Caroline has thoughts. We get into the social BS that happens in real life, not just online: charity galas, retail philanthropy math, the gala flex, why teens have it harder with Snap Maps, Will Storr's The Status Game, joining boards to get into private school, and whether motive matters if the money is real. Plus JOMO, Tom Wolfe's "Radical Chic," and a Meme of the Week we made with Claude. Video chapters 0:00 ...
Send us Fan Mail Caroline dresses like a prisoner because, as her grandfather used to say, after 50 years of marriage, "murderers get out earlier." Eva brings John Gottman's The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, and we get into the Love Lab, the 5-to-1 rule, the Four Horsemen, the Roach Motel, the mental load, and "just bring socks," why the marriage has to come before the kids, and what happened when we asked Claude for marriage advice. Plus Book, Meme, and Word of the W...
Send us Fan Mail Eva and Caroline go all in on American politics this week — a full hour tracing how the Democratic and Republican parties got to where they are today, from the Clinton and Reagan eras through to now. They get personal about their own political journeys, including a confession about a 2016 vote that wasn't exactly popular among friends at the time, and what actually changed after October 7th. The conversation moves through antisemitism and why it's a warning sign worth everyon...
Send us Fan Mail Organizational psychologist Alison Fragale (author of Likable Badass) explains why hiring help is essential for your sanity, not a luxury.

In this episode: Why you should always go first in a negotiation (the $300 couch)Why going "in the red" on childcare can be an investmentThe market re...
