09: The Nothing is Always Something with Sarah Gristwood
Blaire & Molly are thrilled to chat with historical biographer Sarah Gristwood (author of such books as Arbella: England’s Lost Queen, and Blood Sisters: The Women Behind the Wars of the Roses, amongst many others) about her new book Secret Voices: A Year of Women’s Diaries (we loved it). They marvel at how the similarities between the inner lives of women of all eras connect us, as well as how keeping a diary might be just the tool we’ve been looking for to help sustain our creative flow. So pour yourself a detective novel-themed cocktail and enjoy this episode of “Unsticking It!”

07: Breaking The Rules with JV Mercanti
Our friend JV Mercanti is a theatre director, professor, and author who has also felt helpless to the obstacles that come up on our paths to creative freedom. We steal his ideas for how to get out from under your desk after a good cry, and learn the rules so that you can BREAK THEM. *wear your headphones for this one if you plan to listen with little ones around, as some adult words are spoken*
Please note that the Britney Spears musical on Broadway, Once Upon a One More Time referenced in this episode (which we recorded in summer 2023) has since closed. But we saw it and it was awesome.

Awesome Topic w/ awesome guests!
Love the show! Great insight & humility in moving forward to raise the bar! The ladies have such a good chemistry & always bring hilarity to every episode!
A joy to listen to!
If you need to feel inspired and also laugh and maybe cry, this podcast is for you! Molly and Blaire are so funny, thoughtful, kind and have an innate ability to weave intelligence throughout their conversation with their guests that creates space for creativity and silliness. It’s a joy to listen to these conversations - truly!
Thank you for the laughs!
Hilarious! These 2 ladies have a great dynamic together. Bringing in fun stories from their lives as parents and quoting reputable journals they bring to light all the nuances of parenting toddlers. Definitely a laugh out load podcast as I can relate to so many things! We can either cry or laugh about these challenging times as parents of toddlers and I’ll take the laughing route thank you very much. I cried enough when my baby was an infant.
