• Mikayla Matthews: Finding Her Voice

  TW: Sexual AbuseIn this week’s episode, Tay is back for another girl-talk conversation with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews! Mikayla bravely opens up about growing up in a chaotic home as one of seven siblings, navigating childhood trauma, and the sexual abuse she endured starting at age six. She shares how the aftermath of that trauma still affects her marriage today and the therapy, tools, and self-awareness that have helped her begin to heal. Mikayla talks about becoming pregnant at 16, what happened when she finally told her mom the truth, and where their relationship stands today. She also reflects on how her skin struggles impacted her self-worth, the importance of learning each other’s love languages in a relationship, and how she and her husband continue to support one another. Mikayla touches on her thoughts on fellow The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt’s appearance on the podcast, then shares what she’s most proud of in herself: becoming the person she needed when she was young.Be sure to follow Mikayla https://instagram.com/mikayla__matt/!If you or someone you know is struggling:Visit RAINN.org for additional resources and supportCall (800) 656-HOPE to talk to a trained staff member from your local sexual assault service providerTo email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected] sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

• Val Chmerkovskiy: Let Them Dance

  In this week’s episode, Dancing With The Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy returns (two years after he and Jenna Johnson were among our very first guests!). Val opens up about growing up in Ukraine until age eight, immigrating to Brooklyn, and what that huge life shift felt like as a kid. He shares when dance first entered his life, how it evolved from a creative outlet to a career, and what it’s like to keep that passion alive when it’s also your job. He talks about working alongside his wife Jenna as pros on Dancing With The Stars, their shared Emmy nomination for a tribute to Len Goodman, and how they navigate turning off “work mode” at home. Val also speaks about how fatherhood has shifted his perspective and deepened his appreciation for his own parents’ sacrifices. Plus, he gives us the inside scoop on filming Hulu’s Got to Get Out, how the experience challenged him, and the friendships he formed with his fellow castmates.Be sure to follow Valentin https://instagram.com/valentin/!To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected] sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

• Chad Franke: Freed

  In this week’s episode, the Lautners are joined by Chad Franke for a conversation about growing up on YouTube as part of the massively followed family channel 8 Passengers, created by his mom, Ruby Franke. Chad opens up about the early days of vlogging, when the channel began to take off, and what it was like having his childhood shared with millions. He reflects on how personal struggles were often turned into content, and how the shift from casually being on camera to having moments staged for engagement began to affect him. Chad talks about the #FreeChad movement, sparked by concerns over his living situation, and what it was like watching the Hulu docuseries Devil in the Family for the first time. He also shares about the last time he spoke to his mom, the letters she’s sent, his relationship with religion and God, and the gradual realization that what was happening wasn’t okay. Chad discusses his close bond with his siblings and dad, his current relationship with social media, and why he’s committed to keeping his future children offline. He also emphasizes the need for stricter regulations around monetizing minors and gives a look at what’s next for him.Be sure to follow Chad https://www.instagram.com/chadwfranke/!To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected] sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

• Christina Kirkman: Life’s A Joke

  In this week’s episode, Tay is back for another girl talk episode with actress and comedian Christina Kirkman! Christina begins by talking about competing in the “R U All That?: Nickelodeon's Search for the Funniest Kid in America” competition and winning the highly coveted spot as a regular cast member on All That at just 10 years old. She shares the reality of stepping into Hollywood so young, why she ended up leaving Nickelodeon, and the identity crisis that followed as she struggled to detach from the “All That girl” label. Christina opens up about how bullying and burnout led her to pivot toward broadcast journalism in college, but after an internship at Comedy Central, she found her way back to acting. She also talks about learning that she needs alone time to process and recharge, her experience balancing social media and the anxiety that can come with it, her habit of using comedy as a mask, and how her new podcast is helping her reconnect with herself in a more honest way.Be sure to follow Christina https://www.instagram.com/christinakirkman/!Check out Christina’s podcast “Life’s A Joke”: https://swap.fm/l/lifesajokeTo email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected] sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!
