How's New York? New York City is beautiful. It's beautiful here. It's beautiful. It's a spring day. There's no snow. Everyone's still talking about the snow, but the snow was gone. I did a lot of press yesterday.

We're talking about my dating app. That's not a dating app. It's just on my Instagram, but people are calling it a dating app. Was your social team prepared to? for this? No, they're never prepared for anything I do. I wasn't even prepared for it. I didn't realize how many DMs were going to come through. And, you know, that's just me never thinking things through. But I really do want to let my people know, the people who are listening to this podcast. I am, I really do want to help people meet each other. And I do want to find, like, cool men for women to hook up with because I do believe they're out there.

And many of them are getting divorced or have gotten divorced. So there are good men out there. And some of them, you know, but like we have to weed through all of this. So I'll be getting updates. And I'll be giving updates. I'm not, we're doing it. It's on. So, like, it's happening. I just need a bigger team of people and more of a bandwidth. But I have hooked up, like, two gay guys. I've hooked up two separate gay guys and a straight couple have gone on a date. I mean, you're a regular grinder over here. So this is happening. It's working. It's just, we haven't figured out with the next, you know, formal iteration of my dating service is going to be. And I don't even want to call it a dating service because I can't commit to doing this, but I am going to try and help.

Anyway, that's what's happening in New York. I'm leaving tomorrow. I have new shows that I'm doing. I've just announced a whole new batch of shows for the second leg of my high and mighty tour, and I've added second shows, and I am coming to all the cities that I haven't been to yet that you haven't seen.

So come and see me and go to chelseahandler.com for your tickets for the high and mighty tour. And then our guest this week is very exciting who, you know what? She was real fucking funny. And I didn't know she was going to be funny. So funny. I was really not expecting that.

Me neither. So you guys are in for a real treat. She's an actress that you know from Daisy Jones and the Six and the night manager. You can find her in Netflix's. Something very bad is going to happen. And the age of innocence. Please welcome Camilla Marone. Okay, great, let's go. I see that you wear shoes on your couch. I don't give a shit what you put on my sofa. I walked in your house and I was like, should I take my shoes off? I'm such a New Yorker.

I'm like, do I take my shoes off? What do I do? Is that a New York? Well, New York is, yeah, that's disgusting. Because you can bring like a dead body on the bottom of your feet. I honestly don't like when I think about moving New York, which at some point I will do because I have to live in New York at some point. You still haven't done it.

No, and I'm from New Jersey. Well, now it's my favorite pastime is like converting people. I've like made it actually. I'm like at like nine. Like my number's crazy. I'm like really good at getting people to move to New York. Really? And I find it like a weird test. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it is a good thing to be good at.

I'm like, you want to live here. What, what, how long have you lived in New York now? I lived in New York for three years, but I act as if I, like, built the city with my bare hands. I'm like the Brooklyn Bridge. I did it. I did that. Okay, so what prompted you to move to New York? Because you're from L.A., you grew up here. I'm born and raised in L.A., I went to school in Santa Monica. I went to school in the valley. I went to school all over. I went to Beverly Hills. So I had divorced parents that were fighting about, you know, where to live. So I've lived everywhere.

But then I just felt like post-pandemic, I thought it, you know, things changed, obviously in LA. And I just thought I wanted to do something that I just wanted to like wake up and go to the theater if I wanted to, which I don't ever do. But I could do it in theory. Yeah. They're not usually playing in the morning. Well, New York is crazy.

You don't know New York. I'm sure there is some fucking theater. I got a little bit, you know, bored of L.A. And I didn't want to be in the car for so long. And I just was like, I want to maybe go for a walk if I want to go for. I haven't, I didn't recreationally walk in L.A. in 25 years. I don't think I ever went for like a walk. Do you walk?

No, no, I don't walk here. I don't. I don't do anything here because I feel, I'm with you on the L.A. thing. Like, I was going to move to New York and then I, this house kind of took longer than I anticipated. And so I kind of put a pin in it. But I'm with you about L.A. is a little, it's a little boring. Like, everything closes at like 9 p.m., like, what if you want to go to Korea town at 1130? Like, I don't do any of it, but I know that it's there.

So, like, I have the option. Yeah. I actually find myself being more fun in New York. I'll go to the comedy seller on a random Tuesday night when I can get in and all that. That's like fun for me. Are you a subway person? Yeah, I take the train everywhere. I mean, I don't think you, I mean, I get really sick in the back of like Uber's and I hate being schlepped

and I hate small talk. I hate, I hate underground transportation. I'm like the person that all the Uber jars are like, I'm like, how are you? And they're like, well, actually, my wife left me. She's been sleeping with my best friend for 35 years. And I found out yesterday and I'm in the back like being shoved around Manhattan, like, about to throw up in the back of a car. So the train, yeah, great.

I don't like underground transportation. There's something about that smell that I can't get past. I'm very sensitive to smells. Some of the trains are very clean. Okay, well, I believe you, but I probably won't find out about it. I don't think you need to. You can sell this house and never take a train again. Or take trains for the rest of my life, depending on how that goes.

Wait, first of all, I can't stop looking at your eyebrows because they are so perfectly quaffed, if you will. And do you use anything for your eyebrows? Because my makeup artist did it to me yesterday, and I had an eyebrow. It was great yesterday. Like I had another half before. They were sticking up kind of like yours and combed and I loved it. I've actually never, the one thing that I listened to my mother, two things, she was like,

don't ever get a tattoo because she's had to get all her is removed, her tram stamp removed. And then she was like, don't ever touch your eyebrows. And when I was a teenager, you know, like it was like cool to do the 90s brow. And it's the only thing that I actually listened to her that now I'm like kind of grateful that I didn't do. But I've never touched them. I've never waxed or done anything. So what do you do? Should you brush them like that?

Well, I just, yeah, I brush them like that. They look good. They look really good. You know, I have to embrace it. Well, you're Argentine, right? Yes, yeah. And is that the proper way to say Argentinian or Argentine? I actually don't know Argentine or Argentine.

I was told it was Argentine, but I would, I mean, you should find out. I'm Argentinian, I'll ask. Okay, yeah, yeah, please, because I'd like to say it correctly. Well, especially if you're not from there, I want to pay with like the right amount of respect to people. Argentine or Argentine or Argentine has to be politically correct. You speak Spanish. Yes.

Yeah, okay. And both of your parents are Argentine or Argentine or Argentex. I don't know what is. My mom and dad are, it's actually a funny story. They're both from Buenos Aires in Argentina, and they met at a club called tequila that is still a club. And my mom was 19, and her family were like all lawyers and politicians and worked for the president. My dad was a 27-year-old male supermodel. And she was like, I'm going to move to Paris with Maximo, and we're going to make love and have babies.

And then, like, very shortly after, they very much did make love and have a baby. And I'm that baby. And you're that baby. That's the only baby they ever had. And then what happens? Yeah. I mean, what do you think happens? And then I met at the club called tequila

And there was a divorce about seven years after Because of tequila Which is why I was too much tequila Well, who knows what was a part of that divorce So you bounced around a lot Between your mom and your dad in Los Angeles And how was that? I mean, I hated it

Like I had to pack a little doggy bag every week And like bring all my schoolwork And all my, you know, like my makeup that my mom let me use My dad wouldn't let me. I mean just like typical child of divorce parent stuff But I got to live all over L.A. I mean, they were like, my dad was like, I want to surf in Santa Monica. My mom's like, I live in the valley.

So like the only person that gets like fucked in that is me. I was sick of sitting in the car. Yeah, I was like, I never want to sit on a freeway ever again. But this freeway that we actually just passed coming here. That was my freeway. I know that freeway very well. Were you triggered? Yeah.

I called my therapist immediately. But aren't there some advantages to having divorced parents? Like, can't you play them off of each other and kind of use that to your advantage in some regard? Not in the slightest because they talk about everything. That's the worst part about having parents who like, along after their divorce or like sometimes got along because my mom would like fact check and like is it true that she said that you can do this and like at your house and whatnot so no no no there was no advantage there was no advantage maybe like crying easier in a movie set when I like have to

think about my trauma but that's pretty much it and what about growing up in los angeles what did how did that inform your life and I mean you got you dropped out of school high school at 15 right I mean I went to independent studies I got my GED and I studied at like independent studies which was basically my way out of being like, I'm a working actor. I was not a working actor yet, but I was modeling then. And I got to do like home study where you like bring your work to school. You kind of Google the answers and then you like send it back. And I still got to graduate in my class and like throw my cap and gown and all that.

But I mean, growing up in L.A., I mean, I guess you don't realize, like last night I was driving through Beverly Hills and I was showing someone. I was like, oh my God, that was like my Rite Aid and that was my Mulberry's pizza and that was my Chipotle. He's like, that's insane. that Beverly Hills was like your Chipotle and your pizza shop, like that's not normal. Your local lives.

Yeah, like that's insane. Even when I call Verizon and I'm like giving them my zip code, they're like 902.00, like the show. I'm like, it doesn't feel like that when you're from here, but like I guess it really was that to the rest of the world. I always find that my girlfriends that grew up in L.A. have like their frame of reference

and their reality is so far afield from what's happening in the rest of the world. Exactly my point. Especially when you grew up in a 90210. Eric code and you don't leave. It's so nice to hear that you left because you have to have a sense of what's happening in the world.

But that's not here. That's like even getting on the subway in New York, the train. I think it's like you see like the chic woman who's from the Abarisei and she's got her fur coat on and then you see somebody else who's like an artist from Brooklyn. You can tell them they're like making music on the train. I think just like people actually need to pay their rent in New York in a very serious way because New York is so expensive.

And I think that you just like have real humans. I would say the best thing about New York is it's less Hollywood concentrated. That's right. Like you don't run into an actor or screenwriter or producer, even though there's nothing wrong with those people because I am one of them. There's something wrong with all of those people. You be polite and I will go on the record. Shakespeare for Johnny's.

Yeah, you can translate the words. Yes, yes, yes. But I think that it's just a little bit of a breather. Not everybody's doing something in the industry all the time. Yeah, and that is refreshing because you meet different. types of people and you're like, oh, that's interesting. And it kind of piques your interest to get, like, to get involved in other things that normally, you know, you might not be. I think the thing in LA is everyone kind of sticks to their home base a lot. Yeah. Just to stay in your neighborhood.

And you don't go out of your comfort zone. Like, I just went to this thing last night. It's like, I know all the people that were there. I'm like, there wasn't a new person. You know what I mean? I'm like, I never meet anyone new here. I heard this thing once that L.A. is a city that happens behind closed doors. And I feel like that's so true. Like, it's a party or it's out of a restaurant or it's it's all inside somewhere. But don't you even go to the same like five restaurants? Right. I do feel like living in New York, you like push yourself to to be a little bit more exploratory and go out and try any things. I also think like for someone my age, it's important to move to New York because as you get older, like you want to be vibrant and like, you know,

like otherwise I'll just take a Xanax at 7 o'clock and go to bed. And by the way, you can come down to sleep. I do. I do that in New York. You can also do. People are like, when you go to New York, you have to be nuts up. I'm like, I take a Xanax at 8.30, three nights a week. And I love Xanax. I love I love it. I'm on it right now. No. 10 a.m. guys, I wouldn't never.

Okay, let's talk about your projects because there are a lot of them. We have to discuss. First of all, you're in the Night Manager too, which is out. Everyone can watch that. Nightman, it took enough fucking time for them

to come out with the sequel. I was like a toddler when the first one came out. But the first one was incredibly, and the second one is really, really awesome too. So it's great.

Because sometimes the second seasons of series do not stack up. And this one absolutely. does. And that's where I first noticed your eyebrows, to be honest with you. I don't want to focus so much. Like, Browgate. Do I have, like, oh, my brows doing really good things? They're gorgeous. Well, I do use it like Anastasia brow gel. Okay. I mean, I use that too. That's what you used on me yesterday. I mean, I didn't use it today, obviously, because I don't know what I'm doing like my mom was like, I went through her face where I was like over slicking them. She's like

it kind of looks like you've been on like a moped and just like took your head out. Or it looks like there's like there's actual gel in them. I don't like that. When I do it and sometimes the gel comes out. And And then that looks like somebody, you know, you know what that looks like. I'm a virgin actually, don't. Talk to me about the filming. Where did you get to go on location for a night manager too? So we started in London and then we went to Colombia. We did five different cities in Colombia.

And then we finish in Spain in the Canary Islands. Oh. Oh, that's sexy. Yeah. And you just got back from Sevilla last night, you said? I got back from Seville. I don't know. That's another one.

Sevisia. Seville. Sevilla. Sevisha. Sevisha. Poreloche. And they gave you in Spain. That's my opinion.

Nellopee Cruz. They're gonna execute me when I went in Spain next time. They're gonna be like, she's... How dare you? Yeah. Yeah, we were in Seville finishing the Age of Innocence yesterday. Okay, so that's another movie. That's another one. It's a TV show, yeah. And then you have something very bad is going to happen. Yes, which is this week. Which is this week, which is from the guys who did stranger things. Yeah, Duffer Brothers. Okay, this is the first thing that they've done out of Stranger Things. Executive Produce. Okay, okay. The first thing that they've executive produced from Stranger Things. So let's focus on one project and talk about that first. Which one you like to start with? My eyebrows. Let's go back, brother.

No. Okay, what do you want? What do you want to know? I mean, as a horror fan, I love something very bad. But I also love that you got to work with a woman showrunner, right? Greater showrunner. Which is now, it's so funny because people bring this up in interviews, but I feel like I got into the industry at probably a turning point because I've like almost exclusively worked with female directors. So cool. Which is crazy because I guess I say it to people and they're like, oh my God, that's so rare because, of course, it's not where the industry was 10 years ago. That is so nice to hear. I, the last, I mean, the last five things I've done, I've all been, even on TV shows, like Age of Innocence, three female directors, something very bad, three different female directors. I worked with Patricia Arquette on Gonzo Girl.

Oh, God. Tell us about Patricia Arquette. Oh, God. She's the fucking... Well, for she's the fucking... You should have one here. I will. I'm totally going to reach out to her.

We need to reach out to Patricia Arquette. She's a hoot. She's awesome. Yeah. She's also, like, very, like, kooky, hippie. Like, I won't talk to Patricia for six months. Then she'll send me, like, all these endometriosis, like, herbal mess. medicines that she found on an Instagram account.

I'm like, how did you even find this part of the web? Like, what are you on? Every time I come across a weird Instagram account, Patricia Arquette has liked it. But like, how to make your house feel weird? And it's like, hearted by Patricia. And then also my favorite part about Patricia, she's the best. She'll comment on people who are like, you feel bad about your life? My husband did this to me after 30 years.

And she's like, you should have left that man 30 years ago. And she'll comment publicly on her account. And then she gets in conversation with people on Instagram comments. I know. I love it. I love that behavior. I like odd behavior. I'm like, do I tell her that like everything's public on Instagram or just let her keep going?

I don't think she gives a shit. You know what I mean? I think when you get to a certain age, I'm there. You do not care. You're just out there doing your thing and you're like, listen, I've already got my shit together. Like, you're not, someone like her who is like so solid. Like what's somebody going to do to her? No, she's getting involved.

She's getting involved. I'm like, I don't want to say anything about anyone or anything or heard anything. And then she's just like, what do you want to know? Let's do it. So how was she as a director? Oh my God. Patricia's, she's hilarious. She's very, like, she's very kind of energetic and I would say emotional. And I think having been an actor, she really doesn't hover. And so she really kind of lets you find it. And I'd even go up to her after takes and be such like an anxious people pleaser. And I was like, what did you think? Did you like it? She's like, honey, everything you do is good. Like, everything is interesting. And just try something else. If you don't feel it, like, let's try something else then. And I was like, okay. I'm like calling my therapist. I'm like, being validated, feel. so good. I didn't know this. And, well, like, okay, so that's one female director.

On the night manager, you did, did you have female directors? Okay. Georgie. And then you got to speak Spanish and English on that. And have you done that before? No, I haven't. And I also did Colombian, which is super different. Okay. Argentinian.

Yes. Because I took my first Spanish last, my first Spanish maestro was from Columbia. And she was like, that is the Spanish. Like, the Spanish that you need to learn is Colombian. And I'm like, neutral? that just not feel neutral at all. But there's no neutral Spanish. It doesn't feel like there's a neutralist there.

Supposedly, Spain, Spanish is like the Spanish. But I was like, there's way more people who live in South America who speak a different kind of Spanish. But I can be in Spain and like not understand a lot of words. They're like, vamos to coger. I'm like, coer. They start. With a different word.

With the list, I can't. I don't understand. Right. Yeah. They use the word coger a lot, which means to fuck. Yeah. And they use it for everything. I'm Iris Palmer and my new podcast is called Against All Od.

and that's exactly what the show is about doing whatever it takes to be thoughts. Get ready to hear from some of your favorite entrepreneurs and entertainers as they share stories about defying expectations, overcoming barriers, and breaking generational patterns. I'm talking to people like award-winning actress, producer, and director, Eva Longoria. I think I had like $200 in my savings account and my mom goes, what are you going to do? And I was like, I'll figure it out. We got a one-bedroom apartment for like $400 a month and we all could not afford. Like, I was like, how am I going to make $100 a month?

I'm opening up like I've never before. For those of you who think you know me from what you've seen on social media, get ready to see a whole new side of me. Listen to Against All Odds with Iris Palmer as part of the MyCultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? In 1998, my life was forever changed when I took on the role. of Charlotte York on a new show

called Sex and the City. Now I get to sit down with some of my favorite people and relive all of the incredible moments this show brought us on and off the screen. Like when Sarah Jessica Parker shared that she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. You forgot about it? I completely forgot about it.

And when the show was picked up, I panicked. And Cynthia Nixon reveals if she's a Miranda. We both feel confident about our brains. But that's kind of where it ends. Plus, sex in the city super fan Megan V. Stelion doesn't hold back on her opinions of the show. Carrie will literally go sit New York on fire and then come back and type about it at the end of the day.

Like half of it wasn't her fault. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, And the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre,

as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food.

They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Amy Roboc alongside T.J. Holmes from the Amy and T. And there is so. So much news, information, commentary coming at you all day and from all over the place. What's fact?

What's fake? And sometimes what the F. So let's cut the crap, okay? Follow the Amy and T.J. podcast, a one-stop news and pop culture shop to get you caught up and on with your day. And listen to Amy and T.J. on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Okay, so that was night manager. You got to go to all these fun places.

Yes. And that was not why. you were in Sevia, though. No, that was age of innocence. Age of innocence was why you're in Sevia. Yeah. That's not out yet. That is not out because I wrapped it yesterday.

So, okay, this is four. So now we're trying to have four projects. We're on three. Okay, so we're all over the shop here. But so it doesn't matter. So it doesn't matter. I just want to keep track of the fact that you have four different projects going. Okay.

So people who watching this know which one we're fucking talking about. Okay. We shot Gonzo Girl with Patricia Arquette, the story about Hunter S. Thompson. We love that. That was a film. And then we did Night Manager in all those amazing countries. And then something very bad, which is coming out this week. How do you feel about horror films in general?

Oh yeah, yeah, okay, so this is what we're talking about. I actually wasn't a horror fan growing up. Like, I saw the trailer or a poster for Chuckie, and I didn't sleep for 15 years. Like, I created the story of what Chuckie does. I didn't even need to know the plot line. I was like, it's a little red-headed doll that's like under the bed and stuff, and I know he's out to get me. And then I saw when a stranger calls, which destroyed me. Still to this day, if I see unknown number on my phone, I'm certain if someone, the call is coming from inside the house.

And I was totally traumatized. my whole childhood and I would like make my dad check the bed and all the things and then when I got a little older and actually for this project I started watching like a wider range of horror films that like weren't meant to like traumatize you for life and and I like I fell in love with horror yeah I really love it now I feel like horror is better to watch for me personally because I have like a jumping instinct yeah I'm a jump is a on a plane when I'm surrounded by people yeah daylight only I never watch something at night right and during the day but I can be on a plane at night as long as the windows are open.

Then I'm okay. And if I'm on this, and if I'm on the window. I do daytime always. And I will probably most of the time cover one of my like sensors. Like if it's something scary, I'll probably cover my ears so I don't get both. I can't like watch something scary and hear something scary.

I have to pick. What about violence? I don't like love blood and guts and horror. Like I don't love that. And that's what I love about the show is that it's not like organ spilling out and like toenails being ripped off. It's like just a creepy ambience. And what I liked about it too is,

they'll set something up and you're like okay you know this girl is like going into these scenarios and it's very creepy and like why doesn't she and then they solve it and then there's like a new scenario so it's like it's not just like a one and done like there's a real layered story there and sometimes that's creepier than the actual but i really don't like violence like when i see men hitting men or women violence against women i cannot watch it all but i just can't even watch it i end up closing my eyes half the movie so if it's too violent it's like a waste it's wasted on me Yeah, I, I, I, I, this show is cool because it's more of a psychological thriller, I think, than like, and I think maybe perhaps I don't like the traditional horror in the sense of like blood and guts and violence. I like more of the slow burn psychological torture. You know who else is Argentinian or Argentine, Anya, Anya Taylor Joy?

Yeah. Do you know her? Oh, she was just in Prague when I was filming and we didn't get to meet up, but she was filming something. But we know each other just casually from like award shows and stuff. Oh, that's so much. Since I go to so many awards shows. It's probably one that I've ever said. It's so funny because I was at Glastonbury this year. I met her at Glastonbury and she was in the crew that I was hanging out with. And I had no idea she was Argentinian or Argentine. We're going to get to the bottom of this.

Or someone will for us. Right, exactly. The internet. Don't worry. They'll get to us before we can even get to it. But we had this beautiful conversation which I've been kind of taking on the road with me and taking ownership of because it was about ascension, like about how women are never like cooked. We're constantly growing and constantly learning.

because we were talking about our age differences, and I was experiencing, like, a really fun career moment at that time. And I was like, she's like, that's so awesome. And I was like, yeah, I'm 50 years old. Like, how, can you believe, like, that's like a peak that I never thought I would peak or have a moment like that. Because you're told that you're basically going to die after 35. Yeah, you're told after 40 that you're, like, useless.

Yeah. And I'm like, some of my best career moments have happened between 40 and 50. And now that I'm 51, I just turned 51. I'm like, I'm more excited now than ever because I look at everything as an ascension. Like now I'm like as long as women are here, especially for women, as long as we're here, we're in ascension. When we die, then it's over. Like the idea that you can't do something, like, I learned how to be a kick-ass skier when I was like 43, 44 years old. People usually are like, I didn't learn how to ski well.

Well, I was resentful to my parents because I'm not like those skiers on the slopes that has like the little hit movements. And they've all been in class since they were two. And I was like, you and I never made me stick to any sports. And now I'm not good at anything. I'm like, I hate you guys. But they were like, you can go out there and try. So it's good to know that I can become a great skier. And now I can ski, I'll ski most people that I even meet.

You know, people that live in Whistler, Canada. When I go there, like, people that live there, I ski better than they do. My mom got dropped to you on heli skiing yesterday in Switzerland, called me from the bottom, hysterically crying. She was like, powder is so hard. Nobody told me there was no way down. Oh, that's so funny. My mom, like, slowed down the entire crew that she was with.

She'd never heli skied. She was with these, like, really good skiers, and they dropped her off, and she was falling the entire time. She's like, I was buried under the powder. was awful. It's hard. Powder skiing's hard if you've never powder skied. Yeah.

I had that problem. Yeah, because it's deep. And it's like everything you learn about skiing, it's kind of the opposite technique for powder. You don't do much. You just kind of hop and bounce around. But it's really scary going heli skiing already. And then if you don't know how to ski power a lot.

I don't want to ski on the top of the mountain and powder. And you don't want to jump out of a helicopter. Yeah. So I don't think the combination is meant for me. But I am down. I am adventurous. I would do it. So back to ascension.

Back to Female Ascension and Women, and women ascension. How old are you right now? 28. Oh, oh my God, you're a baby. No, but it doesn't feel like that. I feel all the things that you're saying. It's actually really real. It's so weird. And it's like almost, it's like almost 30. And it sounds like, you know, 30 is such a baby. But it's like my friends are actually starting to like get engaged and get married. And most of my friends have babies already. At 28. 30. I'm like, why? Why do they have babies already? I don't know.

I thought that was out of style in your class. No, they're like having babies. But they're kind of like, You know, even my dad was like, you know, you have to, you know, if you're going to date somebody now, it's kind of got to be your person because you're like almost 30. And I'm like, I'm almost 30. Like, what does that mean? No. I think, but it's so, but it's, you have so much to look forward to. Yeah. Like, I wish when we were our age, actually, this is the moment because I'm so much older than you. And I can tell you, you have so much to look forward to. Like, you're 28. You already have a huge career. You already have a full life. You're already living in New York. Like, your life is just going to get better and better. and better the more experiences you have and like the older you get and I'm here to testify to that.

Thank you for saying that but like it really is kind of traumatic and even in the Oscars, I remember like when Michelle Yow won everyone was like, oh my God, you can win an Oscar at that age. And it's like, what are we talking about? But it really is, I think specifically in the industry, like the leading lady is meant to like die out at, you know, 36 or 38 years old. You know, it's like then you move into the mother role. You're no longer like the love interest. And I just, I find that really confusing and.

scary and it just feels like there's this like finite time limit on it's just not true look at Nicole Kidman you know what I mean look at Francis McDormann look at all those types of women that are just like constantly picking projects that they want to do look at Patricia Arquette you know like they're all perfect examples of the fact that you are people are still working at that age and that we've been fed this idea and this bullshit and it's kind of like counter to everything that's going on politically like not even though Hollywood still has a long way to go with sexism and racism we are it is counter to what is happening in the world totally So, like, that's just not true.

People are working in their 50s and 60s, like never before. Look at Merrill Streep. Look at, you know. But I find myself, like, unlearning this, like, pretense that I feel that I have. Maybe I've, you know, self-implied this kind of stress and pressure and all that. But it does feel real in some capacity. But then, of course, you see the people, and even, like, what Reese has done with Hello Sunshine and creating her own opportunities. And I just, I actually think we're in a really interesting moment where actresses, you know, Margot Robbie and all the women who have production companies and they're going out there and finding their own IP and doing what she did with Barbie.

and, you know, and Mothering Heights. Yeah, and all of it. And I just think it's really exciting that now we can, like, go and kind of create our own producerial role. In the movie, something very bad is going to happen. It's all about you, like, playing on your paranoia and, and, like, superstitious and,

or superstitions. Is that, can you relate to any of that in your real life? Are you paranoid? Yeah, in the bathroom, you didn't have anywhere to put my purse, so I, like, held onto it while I peeed just now. I have a huge tote back because my mom was, like, in Argentina, if you put your purse on the floor, you instantly lose money. Oh, that's what ever.

Everyone says to me, by the way, that's not true. I put my purse on the ground all the time. And look where we are. I mean, look at this house. Maybe it happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's where we're in the money pit. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Maybe that's, like, put it on the table. I was in your powder room, like, holding onto the wall with my tone. I was like, I can't lose money. Oh, my God. Why don't you put it on the sink? Because it's a very tiny slot. Oh, okay, yeah.

We got to find, up on the table in there. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we don't want to talk to the contractor anymore. We're not told. It's over. relationships are the most volatile relationships of all time. Do you know anyone who has a successful relationship with a contractor?

No, no, no. I've had more contractor breakups and friend breakups and relationship breakups. I know. It's unbelievable. I don't know. It's almost like if you become a contractor or something else didn't work out. Like, because I don't know why they are so crooked and why they are so careless. I had a good experience with my last contractor, but the first one's a nightmare. But I know. Maybe we should make an app.

Like a contractor app. We vetted them. I love him. I've met him. He does great work. Right. But there should already be something like that. It's called a fucking referral.

You know, when somebody like, you know. Don't trust anybody when it comes to contractors. Nobody. I had a great experience with my Spanish contractors. They were amazing. Yeah,

they were like on time early, gave me money back at the end of the thing. I mean, it was like unheard of. Yeah. That sounds like where we're supposed to get with taxes, right? So are you superstitious about anything else? Yeah, everything.

Like what? Salt. You know, you can pass salt hand to hand. If it touched me hand to hand to hand, like it's the whole thing's going over the left shoulder. No umbrella and doors, of course. Forget a staircase.

Splitting a pole. I don't do that either. You won't walk under a staircase or you won't walk up a staircase. Either. I have to be airlifted. Don't do staircases. No, I won't walk under a stair and a ladder. I mean, what else is there?

There's so many. I mean, cheers and looking in the eyes, all the things. I mean, anything, black cat, forget about it. I mean, I've had a black cat crossed me. I had to get out and do like this ritual where you cross a cross a lot. car 13 times. Oh. I don't know.

Somebody told me for my house to cleanse it, you know, to clean the energy, to get a bunch of monks here to pray to change the frequency and the vibration of the house. And I was like, I don't really great experience with this. Don't really want to deal with a bunch of monks right now. I mean, no. But maybe they can come while I'm gone because I'm never here anyway. Bring the monks. Okay.

We're going to get into the advice portion of this show where we give advice, okay? Yay. So do you? I might get hypothermia, but I'm ready to give advice. I don't pass me this barefoot dreams blanket, the one that's behind you. Yeah, of course. Thank you. Give me an example.

If you can think of one of either the best advice or the worst advice you've ever gotten from someone. I mean, like the idea of everything happens for a reason when something like absolutely terrible is happening in your life. I'm like, everything happens for a reason. It's like such horrible things have happened in humanity and history. I don't know if everything happens for a reason. But I believe that there's a lesson to be learned from everything you do. And I'm down to embrace that.

I don't know if that goes under the worst advice. but that's just kind of like a platitude. You know what I mean? Everything happens for a reason. It's like keep calm and carry on. It's like when people say it, my least favorite saying is when people say it is what it is. What does that mean? Yeah, what is that means?

What is it doesn't mean anything? What am I meant to explain to? Yeah, that's pretty bad. I'll put that up there. Do you want to cover your other arm up? Yeah. I mean, do you know how to use a blanket? It doesn't seem like that.

I did it, mom. What do you want me to do like this on the bottom? It's like, I'm trying to also like be presentable. It's okay. As long as your eye. eyebrows around, you're fine. Yes, right. Give me my gel.

Give me my job. Your hair, your eyebrows is good. Okay. I have one side note to just tell you before I forget. Because my brain is short-circiting. Um, wait. Is there a cat here? Wait, um, you love to work out in my grandma's bedroom.

And I'm just going to leave that there. Ben Bruno's home. Is your grandmother's bedroom. His home gym is my grandmother's bedroom. My mom sold our house to Ben Bruno, your trainer. What? Who I still haven't met. And my grandma would come from Argentina because she's Argentine.

She's Argentine now. She's Argentine now. And she's Argentine now. And we would like throw her in this garage room off the laundry that like didn't have insulation or like heating or air conditioning. And she would be so happy to be visiting us. And Ben Bruno bought the house and turned that into a gym, which you now work out. Which is called the kitchen. He calls it the kitchen.

Well, it was not the kitchen. It's the garage with no insulation. That is so weird. When he said that, I was like the only place I did she could be talking about is Ben Bruno's garage, but I couldn't make the connection. Okay, are we taking a break and coming back? Yeah, we're back. Okay, we're taking a break. We're taking a break with Camilla Marone. Camilla Maron. Am I saying it right? Yeah. Camilla Maron? I think so. We're taking a break with Camilla Maron and we're going to be right back. I'm Iris Palmer and my new podcast is called Against

Against All Od and that's exactly what the show is about doing whatever it takes to be thoughts. Get ready to hear from some of your favorite entrepreneurs and entertainers as they share stories about defying expectations, overcoming barriers, and breaking generational patterns. I'm talking to people like award-winning actress, producer, and director, Eva Langoria. I think I had like $200 in my savings account, and my mom goes, what are you going to do? And I was like, I'll figure it out. We got a one-bedroom apartment for like $400 a month, and we all could not afford. Like, I was like, how am I going to make $100 a month?

I'm opening up like I've never before. For those of you who think you know me from what you've seen on social media, get ready to see a whole new side of me. Listen to Against All Odds with Iris Palmer as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? In 1998, my life was forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte York on a new show called Sex and the City. Now I get to sit down with some of my favorite people and relive all of the incredible moments this show brought us on and off the screen.

Like when Sarah Jessica Parker shared that she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. You forgot about it? I completely forgot about it. And when the show was picked up, I panicked. And Cynthia Nixon reveals if she's a Miranda. We both feel confident about our brains. But that's kind of where it ends. Plus, Sex and the City super fan, Megan V. Stelion, doesn't hold back on her opinions of the show.

Carrie will literally go set New York on fire and then come back and type about it at the end of the day. Like half of it wasn't her fault. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future. This month, hear from top stream. Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.

If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food.

They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Amy Roboc alongside T.J. Holmes from the Amy and T.J. podcast. And there is so much news, information, commentary coming at you all day and from all over the place. What's fact? What's fake? And sometimes what the F.

Okay. I thought we were like getting up, touching up. I just had to go upstairs and fix my eyebrows. Yeah, okay. Well, we have a big red flag here. So this is our one drink question. Brecken says, my parents are divorced and my dad talks shit about my mom on social media. Oh, that's great.

My mom doesn't retaliate, but I know she's aware of it. I've asked him to stop and he won't, but my wedding is coming up and I don't want any drama. Should I disinvite him from my wedding if he won't stop? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, see, I was like, no, don't disinvited. That's why you're here. We're having to have differing opinions. Let me just go first and then I want to hear what you say.

I, first of all, that is totally unacceptable to trash talk. somebody's the father or daughter, father or mother of your child in public or behind the scenes, in my opinion. Like, that's, you're the parent. Act like it. And that is a perfect reason to disinvite him from the wedding. Why would you put your mother in that situation? You know, well, I'm sure your mother's going to be cool because she's not going to be responsive

to that. But you have to have a really long conversation with your father about boundaries and about what's acceptable. Okay, now you go. I'm deeply triggered. This is basically my entire childhood. Is it? I thought he said they got along great, though.

this, they're Argentinian. I mean, they, like, get along for, like, one Christmas, they're, like, best friends. And the next, my mom and dad are, like, I won't be there if the other parents are there. That's the vibe. And it's also always very dependent on who their partner is at the time. Sure. So, like, if the partner's, like, I don't want the X involved. So it's a very, you know, it's an up and down. It's been, it's been, it's been like a part-time job mediating between them for the last, you know, 20 years. But I, I... Okay, well, that's very different than what you said at the beginning of the episode, where you said my parents got along so well, so I couldn't even play them against each other.

Now you're talking to each other about important things. Like you. Yes. They're in cahoots. They're in cahoots. So like they'll do a check in once you're like, how do you feel like, you know, if I'm going through a hard time, like they always talk to each other on the phone. Yeah, they do.

But they don't want to hang necessarily anymore. But there has been times that they hung. It's very up and down. I want to know more about the dad posting on Instagram. Is it comments or is he doing like a grid post being like today? He's on Instagram. Is he on a grid post being like, hey, fuck you ex-wife? Like I'm just curious.

Yeah. Like is it a grid post or is he storing it and does he like attach a photo of the mom? But obviously he's like not over it and still love because like he's really adamant. I have so many questions about like just the technicality of the shit talking on it. But what you were instinctually, you were going to say that what? That he should come to invite him. I would have a conversation with the dad first. You really don't want like your, you want your mom and dad there if they can be.

So I would just sit down my dad and be like I would love to have you there. But if you're going to be problematic, I'm very happy to un invite you. So like if you can control yourself, you're super wanted. If you can't, then you're not coming. And that's my background. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's reasonable. That's such a great way.

And then there's a really high probability that he'll, like, black out and, like, shit-talked mom at the wedding. Right. And you have to be prepared. Right. Well, then you have to put, like, drinking limitations on the situation,

which is never fun for anybody. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't go anywhere where they told me to limit my drinking, but I'm also not problematic like that. Not anymore anyway. Not in this part of my life.

They, like, pull reference clips of, like, all the times you've been pregnant. And slideshow. Just going to put those right here. Chelsea's ever saying. It's a lift. being carried out of it. Three-hour compilation.

We're going to call Jane Fonda. She's going to tell us a whole story. Oh, yeah, exactly. All right, Breckin, well, you've got the language to use now. Did you come on this podcast hoping to give advice? Is that why, I mean, did you love this? Oh, I love this. Oh, my God.

I'm so good at giving advice and I'm so bad at taking it. I love it. Me too. It's like my favorite. How do we look, guys? We look amazing. You look at yourself on-on. I feel like I'm like, I'm like, yeah.

Okay, so our first caller today is Caitlin. She is 32. and her subject line is chat GPT broke up with me by proxy. There she is. So Caitlin says, Dear Chelsea, I'm not sure if this qualifies as a dating question or a how do I stop my life from falling apart all at once question, but here goes. A year and a half ago,

I met a wonderful man while on an extended work trip to Texas. We did long distance. It went well. And last year, we decided we were ready to move in together soon. He's fully remote and I was tethered to New York. So the plan was to make New York home. He's from here originally too. Then everything happened at once.

Before he had a chance to move in, I found out my job probably ends this year. Moving to Texas started to make financial sense. Lower cost of living, finally start a personal life after years of being tied to work, etc. Then in January, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, and surgery was scheduled a few weeks later. Suddenly, I needed one thing in my life to stay still. I couldn't face moving across the country away from my entire support network right after surgery in a red state where I'd also want to freeze my eggs, while unemployed and potentially financially dependent on a man for the first time in my life. So last month, I called to ask him if he'd

consider moving into my place temporarily, just to buy us some time. The conversation ended with us breaking up. He told me the romantic in him wanted to relocate, but reason told him it wouldn't work. He'd apparently been consulting chat GPT about our relationship, which told him two people can love each other, but sometimes timing and location just don't line up. I have a long history with abandonment and relationship sending because people didn't show up when I needed them most. He offered to come help me through my surgery because he felt bad about the timing, which I declined, obviously. It made me sad to say it out loud. I guess my question is, was I asking for too much? Or am I someone who keeps finding herself alone in hard moments and calling it independence?

And, Caitlin, I know you have an update about relationship status here. Hi, Caitlin. Hi. Hi. This is Camilla Marone. She's our special guest today. We're happy that you called in and yes, what's your update? We are back together. We had a call shortly after, so we were able to kind of reconvene together and figure it all out. I also had a therapy session and was able to chat with the therapist about like rationally, just like my past and walking through all of that and how previously in relationships I've always kind of hunkered down and said I can take care of myself on my own. So that was kind of the rationale behind us getting back together was like I truly knew I wanted to be with him and give it a chance. I think I could

possibly overlook the chat GPT thing. Yeah, I don't think that's a deal. How did you guys come about getting back on the phone? Like who initiated that phone call? After chat GPT, told him to break up with you. I called him. Okay. And what was that call? Like, what were your intentions with that call? To get back together? It was. It was to be clear that, you know, we needed to work things out and we kind of just needed to talk through a couple of things, like just understanding that I had a lot going on and that I think we needed to make one decision at a time realistically. And so he was open to getting back together? Yes. He was communicative in that, like he had said, his plan was that he would reach out again after I had my surgery and he would connect with me to try to make things right and figure out a path forward for the both of us.

So he was very receptive to getting back together. I think it was his plan all along, like after we kind of had that initial breakup conversation. But I think for me, like after talking to my therapist, I had said that I knew I truly wanted to be with him. I just was in this rush of decision making between having the surgery and feeling overwhelmed from that, feeling overwhelmed from a ton of work being dumped on me because two of my teammates left. And, you know, I didn't know if my job was going to be intact by the end of the year. I just couldn't possibly make a move decision right then and there. And I just felt like hunkering down and breaking up was like the easiest thing. And when he said chat GPT agreed, I was kind of like, well, I guess then we have no other choice.

Right. Well, first of all, I hate that fucking people to use chat GPT for therapy. I hate that the people use chat GPT period. Tell them to go to Anthropic because chat GPT is like surveilling all of us. Or a therapist. Yeah, or a therapist. Exactly. What am I talking about?

Go to a different. an AI platform. But I think the overarching lesson here for our listeners and for you is when you are in a state of overwhelm, there are no decisions to be made like that. You shouldn't be making any serious decisions when you're feeling overwhelmed. You have to know that you're in a sense of kind of almost desensitization. Like when I'm so busy and so like, or I have a million things going on, it's like I can't give my full attention to certain aspects of my life. And I'm just very honest about that. I'm like, listen, I can't, I don't have the, like, bandwidth right now for this. I'll be back and I'll circle back on this in about a week, you know, like, and I think it's important

to recognize that as women who feel like we can multitask everything and we can do a million things at one time, which we're good at. We still have our limits too. Like, and it is important to recognize when you're in those moments, you're going through a ton of stuff and going through medical, like personal stuff. That's no time to make a decision about your relationship. Yeah, I was going to say, I have endo and I've been. avoiding the surgery for since I was 15. So like you're really brave for going through it. And it's very isolating and very lonely to have endometriosis. And that's a really particular thing to be going through during a breakup. And it's already really scary and makes you feel really isolated because

no one really understands it unless you have it. Including doctors. Yep. Yeah. And especially men that don't know. No, they don't get it. Yeah. So how are you doing now after the surgery? My surgery actually hasn't happened. It's actually next week. It's next Tuesday. He plans to fly out. He's actually been really supportive and sending articles. So it's interesting you say that it's challenging for men to understand. I think while he's in the same state of mind that he'll never understand truly, he's been doing research, like reading through Reddit forums and then also just kind of doing his own knowledge. checking. That's really cute, trying to figure out how to support me throughout the surgery. See, that's a positive use of the technology. I like that. Okay. Yeah, that's what we're using. Yeah, spring flags. That's right. How do we understand that period? Yeah, exactly. Exactly. How can we relate? Well, great. It sounds like everything's going great then. I'm glad that you have this update and that you filled us in on that. And yeah, we need to be talking

about these issues with men as often as possible because they lack understanding because they lack education about it, you know, endometriosis. I have two other girlfriends who are like, there's like, they went to male doctors who were like, knew nothing about endometriosis, which is ridiculous. And like, because it's a woman's disease or a woman's, I don't even know, is it a disease? Yeah, and even funny enough, it's very hard, you can't get diagnosed unless you really open up laparoscopically and do surgery. So like you can get like a vaginal exam, but it's like actually not guaranteed. I like how you do this when you talk about a vaginal exam. This is how my doctor does.

That's how they figured out it was endo for me was like doing this. And then they did the actual scan and saw that I had a six centimeter cyst. And it's probably a deep infiltrating phase because they said it was late stage. So I hope you do also go get endo taken care of. It's not something we should be dealing with. And I hope you're able to find a solution for yourself. work. Thank you. Good luck with your surgery. Yeah, have a, have a good surgery and have a good recovery. And I'm glad things are back on track with your man. And get babyed by your man. And tell him to stop going on shot, CheapT. That's a direct quote from me. Reddit is okay. We've decided. Yeah, Reddit is okay? I love Reddit. I appreciate it. Thanks, Caitlin, good luck, okay? Thank you all. That's so funny because I didn't know that you and I also have endometriosis. And it's just like sometimes these questions, like they just kind of, they find the right person. It's so funny how that.

that happens. I know that happens. I've actually never talked about it, but it's been such a big part of my life since I was 15. And you're scared to get the surgery? I have heard that it is incredibly painful, but mainly I'm more, it grows back because it is scar tissue and it's tissue. So, you know, there's a lot of, a lot of people that I've consulted with that have the surgery in two, three years later, they have to get it again. There's like an old witch tale that if you have children, the pain can reduce significantly. I've taken birth control since I was 15 to kind of minimize the pain and the bleeding. But it's the worse. It's also so emotional. I remember the day that I got diagnosed, and it was, like I said, that vaginal exam. And I started crying because she was

like, you do in fact have endot. I was crying so much. Me too. My surgeon was like, so you do have endometriosis. You're like, after seven years of asking doctors, including female ones, do I have this? And they're like, well, I can't run it. He goes, you have endomet. I was like, thank you. I remember looking at my mom, my boyfriend and being like, I told you, I'm not crazy. Like, the pain's not normal. And I actually went to the hospital in my first period when I was 15 because they thought I was having like either pancreatitis. Sure, sure, sure. Like gall letter or something.

Gull bladder or something. And I like you, how you look at me as a doctor. Thank you. Yes, it is pancreatitis. You're welcome. But it's so, and actually, on average, it takes up to 10 years to diagnose. So, I will say for our listeners, there is a listener who called him before who was dealing with endometriosis.

And she's got a very helpful Instagram account now called Kim versus Endo. So go check her out. That's what Patricia Rikette sends me the like. Oh, yeah. The endos. She's like, if you have green herbal tea at 3 p.m. You're endo. And I'm like, I think I need laparoscopic surgery with multiple scars.

But yes, I will look into that sweet pee. Yeah, that sounds terrible also. Yeah. So I'm sorry, ladies. I'm really sorry. I guess to be a woman. Well, let's get to this other question, which I think is also pulled maybe straight from your life.

So our last caller today is Lee and she says, dear Chelsea. I'm a 36-year-old mother of two healthy daughters. I'm married. I have a great community. I had a happy middle-class childhood in the Midwest, and I still call my mom every week. All of this is to say I have a very full and fulfilling life. My question today is whether I should open Pandora's box or leave well enough alone.

Growing up, I was the only child my parents shared together, but I knew I had three half-sisters and two half-brothers from my parents' previous marriages. I was raised with two half-sisters, my mom's children, but we were estranged from my dad's three children because of beliefs and restrictions within their religion, a religion my dad left when he divorced their mother. The other siblings would come up from time to time. My dad might share an occasional story or something about my appearance or personality that would spark a memory of them. But these were never relationships I actively longed for or mourned because they were relationships I never really had.

I grew up with only a few memories of them. Now with daughters of my own and parents who are getting older, I find myself thinking more about family, the bond between siblings and the connections that shape us. Some days, I wonder if I should reach out to these siblings just to see what might be. At the same time, I hesitate. I worry about opening the floodgates to decades of emotions. this might stir up for them and my father. So I'm left wondering, do I reach out and potentially open Pandora's box to satisfy my curiosity

or leave well enough alone and focus on the wonderful family I already have? Sincerely. I'm a perfect person. I know. I have two half siblings. My dad had two more kids when I was 18 years old. I was an only child so I was 18. They're like little 18 ones, right?

My dad met a woman on Match.com and I have a 10 and 11 year old brother and sister for the first time in my life. And do you feel like their mother or their aunt or their sister? But I think what's, I have lots to say. Okay. I feel like I am a head yes. Hi, Lee. Hi, how are you?

Okay, well, you're in the perfect company, okay? Who came to the best place? Canella Marone is our special guest, and she has experience in this. Oh, this is great. Age gap, siblings. Yes, age good work. So I was an only child, so I was 18, and I was always very sad about it and wish that I had siblings, and I would make up scenarios where I was fighting over pancakes with my fake siblings

and my mom would have to separate us. It was like very sad, only child syndrome. And I would, like, pretend. I would be jealous of people who got in fights at their siblings. Long story short, my dad had two. more kids when I was 18, so they're my half siblings. And it has been the biggest gift of my life. Obviously, you already know you're in contact with your half siblings, but I would just say, I always think, and it's kind of sad about like when we are going to lose a parent, which is

inevitable and going to happen to us. Like, I'm so grateful now that I have these other people to have memories about my dad with and to share stories and to joke about, you know, long after knock on what he's past. And I just think it's, it's why, you know, yes, it's Pandora's Box, But I think it looks like you're stable enough and emotionally mature enough to handle whatever it can come your way, whatever that might open. And what beautiful things may you learn about your parent through these other other symbols. That's a beautiful way to look at it. Yeah, I love that.

It might get some great stories and good laughs. Yeah. Why not? Yeah, I would love to have a relationship with them or at least explore the possibility of that. I'm just more concerned. Obviously, I know I'm the one with the least amount of pain in the situation. I didn't lose siblings. I didn't lose a father. I just want to be sensitive to I know that they might have a lot of emotions wrapped up around this that I don't necessarily have and I don't want to be

selfish by, you know, trying to satisfy my own just genuine curiosity if it might open a wound for them. Do you know if they have interest in communicating with you? I mean, it's been 36 years and they have not reached out yet. I know the oldest sibling had said, when I was born that she did not want to have a relationship with me. Obviously, it's been a long time. So I don't know if, you know, they might be open to it now. But I think you can cover all of this in an email, like in a letter to them and be very sensitive with exactly what you just said.

To be like, listen, I know this is sensitive. I want to be sensitive to your emotions and your feelings. I know you had some misgivings about me when I was born. I don't even think you need to say that because it was 36 years ago. I mean, people- I hated my little sister the day she was born. She was zero. Everyone does.

You know? My sister hated me for a long fucking time too. But, you know, your situation's obviously a little bit different. I think you just go at it with sensitivity and love and just say, listen, I'm really curious. You know, we share a lot of stuff. And I think we can make something positive out of this. But I also want to be sensitive to your feelings and your emotions and your experiences. I know it's not like mine.

And if there's any avenue for us to kind of get to know each other and spend some time together, I would really love to do that. you know, and just go at it with like full heart and like open arms and see what happens. You know, you have nothing to lose. Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. Like, I guess there's no downside. I mean, there's nothing to lose. There's only something to gain.

So, you know, I hope they would be open to it as well. But I guess I wouldn't know unless I try, right? And they can respectfully decline. I didn't realize how different it was from my situation. But yeah, I mean, if you're not pressuring anyone through an email through a clawed email. Right. Yeah. And you can just say if you're open to it. And if you're not, I also totally understand that. And I'm excited to hear back from you either way. And you might find that some of them are interested and maybe one is not or, you know, that sort of thing. And that's okay too. You know, if there's someone who wants to connect, it might have an effect on the other ones in the future as well.

But it sounds like you're having a ping and you're interested. So I'd be curious to see like what your intuition and why this is coming up. It'd be fun. Yeah, I feel the same way. It's been after having kids this past year, I've done. really been wondering, you know, what are they like? What are their kids like? Are our kids similar? Just all these curiosity questions coming up that, you know, I would just love to explore and see if they be open to it. Yeah. And I think you give them the option, you know, say that too. Say that you've had children. Like, I'm interested in meeting you alone. If you were open to meeting my children, that's an option. I'm what like, like just make them feel like, you know, it's at their leisure. The balls in their court. Yeah, the balls in their court. Like,

You're open to whatever looks good to them. Yeah, I love that. Anyway, so let us know what happens, okay? I will. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. It was the encouragement I needed. Yes, absolutely.

I mean, you're lovely. So anyone would be lucky to have you as a sister. Go for it, Lee. Thank you. Okay. You got this. Good luck. Take care.

Thank you. Bye. I'm Iris Palmer, and my new podcast is called Against All Od, and that's exactly what the show is about, doing whatever it takes to be the odds. Get ready to hear from some of your favorite entrepreneurs and entertainers as they share stories about defying expectations, overcoming barriers, and breaking generational patterns.

I'm talking to people like award-winning actress, producer, and director, Eva Langoria. I think I had like $200 in my savings account and my mom goes, what are you going to do? And I was like, I'll figure it out. We got a one-bedroom apartment for like $400 a month and we all could not afford. Like, I was like, how am I going to make $100 a month? I'm opening up like I've never before. For those of you who think you know me from what you've seen on social media, get ready to see a whole new side of me. Listen to Against All Odds with Iris Palmer as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast, Are You a Charlotte? In 1998, my life was forever changed when I took on the role of Charlotte York on a new show called Sex and the City. Now I get to sit down with some of my favorite people and relive all of the incredible moments this show brought us on and off the screen. Like when Sarah Jessica Parker shared that she forgot we filmed the pilot episode. You forgot about it?

I completely forgot about it. And when the show was picked up, I panicked. And Cynthia Nixon reveals if she's a Miranda. We both feel confident about our brains. But that's kind of where it ends. Plus, Sex and the City Superfan. And Megan V. Stelion doesn't hold back on her opinions of the show. Carrie will literally go set New York on fire and then come back and type about it at the end of the day.

Like half of it wasn't her fault. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, folks, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes here.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what?

Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids.

They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I really love this. It's nice to give advice and talk to people. Took to real people that you don't know. I love that. I didn't realize like how different this is.

But she was, if it's been thinking, if it's been like really weighing on her in the past year, it's interesting always when like things. come up to you. You know, it's like when you're thinking about someone, you reach out and they're like, I was, I haven't spoke to years, but you've been on my mind. So hopefully Lee will be reconnected. Yeah, I hope so. That's so crazy that you got two little kids, like, in your life when you were 18 years old. That's so weird. So weird. And when my dad told me it was first a boy, and then the second one came like a year later, and it was a girl. And I was so unwell when he told me he was having a girl. I was like, that means I'm not your only little girl. And what if you love her like you love me? And it was, it was not good. But now she's, but now she's,

my best friend. And does your, I know, it's so funny that kids are so jealous of like, well, you can be like thinking that it's going to take your love away because my mom explained this to me once because I was like, how can you love all of us? You know, and she goes, because your love expands. Like with each child, your love, your heart grows bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. And you just bring them all in. And I was like, but you have to love one of us more. And she would just tell us, I love you the most. And then I would tell my sister, mom told me, she's like, she tells me that every day. The best thing about being an older sister is, I'm like, do you know that?

Dad told me right before you came that no matter what, he's never going to love you like he loves me. And my sister's like, Dad! You know, she's like, I have taken, making it my life mission to like torture them about how much he loves me. And for 18 years, it was all about me. Well, he loved you for 18 years before they even existed. So there you go. Yeah, exactly. You got the lead.

Even having siblings, I do feel like there are favorites in the moment. Like I love them both to death, but I'm like, oh, I'm really vibing with you right now. Actually, I'm having a moment with you right now. Like, it is interesting. I think you're like, oh, you're really cool. right now you're in a cool age. You know? You feel more connected to one than the other on a certain day.

Yeah. And also, like, men always say this to me when I ask them who their favorite kid is. Like, I ask men this a lot, doctors and stuff. Like, whenever I'm in a doctor's office. And, yeah, doctors, the one's finger blasting you. And I've gotten this answer now three times for men. It's whoever needs me the most. That's interesting.

I know. And I was like, because men need to be needed. Yeah, right, right. I was like, right. But women are very, very much. they don't like to say that there's a favorite. Men will say, yeah, I have a favorite. I fly with whoever's funnier that day

and whoever's, like, down to hang out with me. I'm like you today. I'm my favorite right now. Okay, Camilla, you're awesome. I loved having you on and popping your podcast, Cherry. That was really fun. I'm no longer a virgin. You're not of her.
