Today’s episode is a little different. Because lately we’ve been feeling it: the shift into your 40s and 50s is real. Friendships change. Your body changes. Your kids grow up overnight. And somehow you’re expected to keep up with all of it while also looking cute, staying calm, and being everyone’s emotional support system.

So we’re zooming out and having the unfiltered conversation about what it actually feels like to grow up in this stage of life — from navigating adult friendships (and learning how to set boundaries without guilt), to dealing with jealousy, comparison, and social media dynamics that no one talks about… but everyone feels.

We get into how to maintain close friendships when everyone is busy with work and kids, why your standards shift as you get older, and the “hard truth” that not everyone is meant to come with you into every season.

And because it wouldn’t be Lipstick on the Rim without some beauty + body talk, we’re also sharing what’s helped us feel more confident as we age.

At some point, almost every woman has the same moment: you look in the mirror and think, wait… what just happened? Your jawline looks different, your skin feels thinner or drier, your neck isn’t snapping back the way it used to — and suddenly your skincare routine isn’t working the way it always has.

We're breaking down how hormones actually show up in your skin and hair, why so many changes seem to happen “overnight,” and what’s really going on beneath the surface. From collagen loss and barrier damage to dryness, sensitivity, acne, thinning hair, and those random chin hairs no one warned us about — this is the conversation every woman wishes she had sooner.

We also cover what actually helps (and what’s mostly hype): skincare basics that still matter, in-office treatments worth considering, at-home devices, supplements, and how to think about hormone therapy without fear or overwhelm.

If you’re feeling confused, targeted by a million products, or wondering where to even start — this episode is your clear, calm guide to understanding hormone-related skin changes and making smarter, more informed choices.

If you’ve ever saved a photo of Margot Robbie or Sofia Richie as “makeup inspo," this is the episode. Celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff sits down with us to break down what’s actually in her makeup bag, the exact products she uses on Hollywood’s biggest faces, and—most importantly—how to recreate the look yourself.

From the red carpet to press tours to Sofia Richie’s viral wedding glam, Pati shares how she creates skin that looks like skin—never heavy, never overdone. We get into her non-negotiable skin-prep routine (microcurrent, facial massage, cold tools), why powder is the enemy as skin changes, and the cream products she swears by for glow that actually lasts.

Pati reveals her holy-grail foundations, her favorite blushes, balmy highlighters, lip liners, mascaras, and the under-$30 essentials she never travels without. She also weighs in on beauty trends worth keeping versus what to toss immediately.

Beyond makeup, we talk energy, wellness, and what it really means to feel beautiful. Consider this your go-to guide for modern glam, aging beautifully, and enhancing what you already have.

Wellness doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, extreme, or out of reach. Wellness curator Dria Murphy is the woman who tests every ritual, trend, supplement, and routine so you don’t have to. She breaks down what actually moves the needle when it comes to feeling better, creating habits that last, and building a balanced life without the guilt.

We also unpack the biggest wellness myths to leave behind in the new year, the trends worth investing in, how to reset your nervous system, why women should rethink high-intensity workouts, and how to stop living in constant fight-or-flight.

If you’re craving a reset, a refresh, or simply want wellness to feel easier, this episode is your 2026 blueprint for feeling good from the inside out.

This special rerun brings back one of Molly and Emese’s most beloved conversations: a heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply human sit-down with the endlessly graceful Jennifer Garner. From early days in West Virginia and falling in love with ballet and theater to becoming the face of Alias and the ultimate rom-com queen in 13 Going on 30, Jennifer opens up about the moments that shaped her career — and her heart.

Molly and Emese chat with Jennifer about motherhood, resilience, and navigating life with humor and grace, including how she really handles hard days, why “movement is medicine,” and what it looks like to raise grounded, resilient kids while living in the spotlight. They also get into her passion for Once Upon a Farm, and the routines that keep her grounded — from nightly gratitude to her very real approach to beauty and aging.

If you’re in the mood for a conversation that feels equal parts comforting, smart, and unfiltered — the kind that reminds you grace doesn’t have to be perfect — this one’s worth another listen.

Rachel Zoe is officially in her Housewives era — and she’s not holding back. The fashion icon, celebrity stylist, and newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills gets candid about stepping back into reality television, navigating divorce, dating after marriage, and reclaiming her identity in the most public way possible. Rachel reveals what really happened when Andy Cohen called, why she chose to enter RHOBH unfiltered, and what it feels like to re-enter the spotlight as a newly single woman.

She opens up about the emotional aftermath of her divorce, the realities of co-parenting, and the freedom that comes with rediscovering who you are after decades in a long-term relationship. Rachel shares what it is like being “the new girl” in an already fiery cast, how she handles intense personalities and shifting friendships, and what fans won’t see on camera. Rachel also spills her real-life beauty routine, cat-eye secrets, glow rituals, and what it actually takes to look effortlessly flawless at 52 — from skincare must-haves to behind-the-scenes glam reality.

Expect Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tea, celebrity divorce honesty, fashion industry insight, behind-the-scenes glam stories, and the raw reality of starting over with humor, honesty, and iconic style. This is Rachel Zoe in her boldest chapter yet — and you’ll want every minute.

Calling all sign seekers and intuitives-in-training! Molly and Emese get spiritual (but keep it grounded and practical) with psychic medium and spiritual teacher MaryAnn DiMarco—aka “MaryAnn the Medium”—author of The Guide(s) Book: Mapping Out Life’s Journey with Spirit by Your Side. They dive into what your intuition actually is, how to decode signs from the universe, and the real difference between a psychic and a medium.

MaryAnn explains why she believes everyone is psychic, how to tell the difference between gut instinct, imagination, and anxiety, and simple ways to build a spiritual practice that feels authentic (even if you hate meditating). She also shares her idea of “habitual check-ins,” how to create a spiritual to-do list, and what it looks like to let the universe help you map your life like a guided road trip instead of a solo mission. 

A conversation all about following the signs, strengthening your intuition, tapping into your own medium abilities, and discovering your purpose and life path—one message from the universe at a time.

What if getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to you? This week, Molly and Emese sit down with fashion-media powerhouses Laura Brown and Kristina O’Neill — the former editors behind InStyle and WSJ Magazine — who were both fired at the height of their careers… and turned it into their greatest comeback yet. Now authors of the buzzy new book All the Cool Girls Get Fired, they open up about the moment everything collapsed, the shock and shame no one talks about, and how they rebuilt their confidence, identity, and careers from the ground up.

They share the real behind-the-scenes stories of getting let go on Zoom, navigating money panic and health insurance, finding self-worth beyond a title, and why honesty is your greatest tool after a setback. If you’re in the middle of a layoff, thinking about a pivot, or craving a life reset you didn’t choose, this episode is your roadmap.
