Linda Marigliano's Tough Love Linda Marigliano

One LA morning, Linda lounges on her couch and welcomes Comedian & Voice Artist Blair Socci (Bob’s Burgers, Aqua Teen Forever) to talk about finding her voice in her life and work. They talk about body image, how weirdly lopsided dating is for her, and how she has realised the balance of masculine & feminine drives of career demands and wanting a family.

Have you ever felt stereotyped? Before she stops off to buy snacks, Linda catches up with award-winning podcaster Sequoia Holmes (Black People Love Paramore) to dive into a long running theme through Sequoia’s life; being introverted and encountering stereotypes around her blackness and womanhood. The two chat about how important it is to shed these pigeonholed perspectives, and the dangers of privilege and feeling tokenised.

Sequoia recounts times in her school life and past relationships when these stereotypes as a woman of colour have shown up and how she almost wrote the best teenage self help guide.

While shopping at a flea market, Linda gets distracted by some big questions and heads home to seek out some advice from one of NYC’s most sought after relationship therapists, Vienna Pharaon (The Origins of You, This Keeps Happening). Vienna outlines the five origin wounds that you may be affected by, and discusses why it is so important to understand your family upbringing. How do these dynamics affect us in our relationships today? Why do these patterns repeat and how do we approach conflict in healthy ways?

Linda’s friends and family are starting to feel even more far away. As we live increasingly global lives, Linda is wondering, how do we maintain these homegrown relationships while setting down roots elsewhere? 

Linda spends an afternoon with illustrator and podcast host Sophie Ansari (Podcrushed & @scribbledbysophie) and hears about her life living overseas away from her close knit family. 

You also hear about how Sophie’s birth experience solidified her identity and compelled her to step up from her people pleasing ways. They chat about Sophie’s approach to motherhood, how her husband and her share the parenting load, and how both women are suckers for nostalgia.

On a leafy street in Sydney, Linda arrives at the home of Aussie TV Icon Osher Gunsberg (The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Masked Singer). They have a candid conversation about the darker times in his life: dealing with depression, addiction, OCD and suicidal ideation all while maintaining a smiling public profile on television. 

Osher reveals the Tough Love lessons that he’s had to learn in order to keep up his long term sobriety, and how his relationships have saved his life.

Together they ask: How do you manage catastrophising & dark thoughts? What are our jobs as parents?

What do we really know about our parents' lives and the decisions they make? Comedian, actor and writer Andrea Jin was often left wondering where her strong emotions came from, and in her 20s, she discovered a deep family secret that made sense of it all. 

Linda meets Andrea in downtown LA where Andrea intimately shares her unconventional life story, and the two women bond over Asian families (and relationships with critical mothers), career aspirations, sexuality and how important it is to know your origin story.

Join Linda on her hilarious and real journey towards self-reflection and growth. Season 3 will continue to see Linda grapple with every essence of change and control with an extended season of weekly episodes of returning characters and a new cast of exciting guests: comedians Blair Socci (Aqua Teen Forever), DeAnne Smith (Netflix’s Gender Agenda), best-selling author & therapist Vienna Pharaon (The Origins of You), and some of the most integral personalities of pop cultural fabric, Sophie Ansari (Podcrushed), Osher Günsburg (The Bachelor), and more to be revealed.
