Linda Marigliano's Tough Love Linda Marigliano

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.

Linda’s been thinking about the F-word again. Fertility. 

It can be confronting to plan ahead when it comes to your own fertility but in recent years, women have more access and awareness with TTC AKA ‘trying to conceive’. Today, Linda pays a visit to her fertility specialist who helped freeze her eggs and the two discuss how much the process improves mental health and strengthens relationships, and in Linda’s case, helps take the stress out of TTC.

And did Linda defrost her eggs for this pregnancy? You’ll hear all that and more with Dr. Jenny Cook; Gynaecologist, Fertility Specialist and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon with over 25 years in the industry.

Linda spends an afternoon with Emmy-nominated TV writer, comedian, podcaster and author Chelsea Devantez (The Problem with Jon Stewart, Girls5Eva, Not Dead Yet). They nestle on Chelsea’s couch to talk about the ugly side of relationships; from friendship breakups to Chelsea’s traumatic experience in her first relationship which lingered for decades afterwards. 

You’ll also hear about Chelsea’s history of overworking. Do you consider yourself a workaholic? And while a lot of us may be familiar with the “fight or flight” stress response, what about “fawning”? It’s a Tough Love lesson that is all too relatable!

Chelsea's memoir “I Shouldn’t Be Telling You This (But I’m Going To Anyway)” is out June 4 via www.harpercollins.com/pages/chelseadevantez
