Why can't we look away from complicated women who break the rules? May Cobb, the bestselling author and executive producer behind Netflix's The Hunting Wives, joins Molly and Emese to unpack our fascination with dark thrillers, complicated female characters, and the women we love to watch make terrible decisions. Drawing on her upbringing in East Texas, May shares how Southern culture inspires her writing, why female friendships can feel more intense — and sometimes more treacherous — than romance, and why likability isn't necessarily the point.

Not Skinny But Not Fat's Amanda Hirsch on Internet Fame, Celebrity & Staying Authentic
How does a meme account turn into Not Skinny But Not Fat? Amanda Hirsch built her platform one meme at a time back in 2016, learning early on, as she puts it, that "you can get to people just by saying something about them." A Hulu hosting gig and one surprising royal pen pal later, she's back on Lipstick on the Rim to unpack the year that pushed her out of her comfort zone and into some of the biggest rooms in pop culture. Rather than treating her "year of yes" as permission to say yes to everything, Amanda used it to figure out exactly what's worth her time — landing on a lesson Molly sums…

Gucci Westman's Guide to Makeup That Doesn't Look Like Makeup
Why is looking like yourself the hardest thing to pull off in makeup? Gucci Westman, the makeup artist behind some of the most photographed faces in Hollywood and the founder of Westman Atelier, has spent over two decades perfecting skin that looks lit from within, and this week she's teaching Molly and Emese how to achieve it. Rather than piling on product, Gucci makes the case for a smaller, smarter "wardrobe of makeup."

Fall Fashion: What’s Actually Worth Buying This Fall
Is your closet actually working for you, or are you just buying trend after trend and hoping something sticks? This season, Molly and Emese are doing fall differently — instead of chasing what's new, they're breaking down what’s actually worth buying and why the same pieces keep coming back season after season. Rather than treating repeat styles as boring, they make the case that repetition is the smartest signal there is — if a brand keeps bringing back the same silhouette or bag year after year, it's usually because it's actually worth the investment. From cashmere knits to the perfect…

What if the goal was never "optimization" at all? Dr. Amanda Kahn is one of the most sought-after longevity doctors working today, and she built her practice from the inside out — after a mysterious postpartum health crisis left doctors with no diagnosis and no answers, she left traditional medicine to figure out what actually helps people recover, feel like themselves, and stay well as they age. Rather than chasing the next buzzy supplement or hormone hack, Dr. Kahn's philosophy is about resilience: understanding your baseline, your genetics, and your bloodwork so your body has what it…

Back-to-School, But Make It Easier: The Systems Molly & Emese Swear By
Is it possible to actually feel ahead of back-to-school instead of one step behind it? Molly and Emese have been through this chaos season enough times to have real systems — not just tips, but systems — for schedules, screentime, wardrobe, and everyone's sanity. Rather than pretending they have it all figured out, they walk through exactly what works in their own houses: the Sunday reset that maps out the whole week before it starts, the "mom uniform" that gets you from drop-off to dinner without a wardrobe crisis, and the screentime conversations that actually need to happen before the…

Why You Feel Stuck — And What’s Actually Keeping You There w/ Jim Curtis
Why do we keep repeating the same patterns even when we can see them clearly? And what’s actually keeping us stuck? Transformational coach and author Jim Curtis joins Molly and Emese to talk about why getting unstuck isn’t about more hustle or willpower — it’s about releasing the fears and limiting beliefs that keep us frozen, aligning with what we actually want, and becoming the person who can create the life we want. Jim shares why fear is “protection, not a prophecy,” how worthiness and safety shape so much of what we chase, and why even highly successful people can struggle with feeling…
