IDIOT with Laura Clery

Stephen doesn't fully recognize the person he was during his relapse. Honestly, neither do I.He's my ex-husband, and today he tells me what actually happened during the year I only saw from the outside -- the restraining order, an FBI investigation into threats we now know he never sent, and a trip to Moldova for a medically induced detox. A year sober later, he's back in our kids' lives, and back on my couch as a friend.Come sit with me.

My friend Manon Matthews came here straight from an energy healing in Topanga, a birthday gift, and it mostly made her tired. By the end she'd sworn she's never seeing a psychic again, and I gave her about a week.We also get into the dream crush she told her entire in-laws about at breakfast, the party I throw in the car on the way to school, why every massage should be 90 minutes, and why women seem to end relationships out of nowhere.Grab the beverage of your choice and come sit with me.

Has one person ever stood between you and the version of your life where you quit? Amie has one, and hers would not sign a piece of paper.She walked in to withdraw from college while her first marriage was falling apart. Her professor told her to come back tomorrow, and then handed it back unsigned, because she had talked it over with the other professors and they all thought that if they let her go she would not come back. Amie finished with a 4.0 while raising four kids. She teaches now, she runs a legal studies program, and in 2025 she won professor of the year.If somebody once refused to let you quit, then this one's for you.

Have you ever gotten hurt doing the most normal thing in the world and had almost no one believe you? Same.Former WWE Superstar Leah Van Dale spent years in the ring without a single major injury, and then went into labor with her first son and came out with nerve damage in her leg. We talk about that, plus the WWE title she won by cheating, meeting her husband while he was technically still married, and why she built an entire podcast around being a mom who refuses to stop being hot.If any of that sounds familiar, then this one's for you.

My son can't be left alone for ten seconds — I found that out again this morning when he hopped our front gate in his boxers and beat me to school on his own scooter.By the time I caught up he was mid-meltdown on campus, and I walked away scratched and bitten and trying not to spiral. I get into what actually helped — a book I'm currently obsessed with, the exact phrases I use to talk him down, and why I think last night's birthday-party sugar had a lot to do with it. Then we lighten it way up: my daughter's new favorite phrase, a week of creatine and some concerning bloat, and whether it's a bad idea to bring my ex-boyfriend to a wedding in Cabo.
