The Real Stuff is a weekly podcast series hosted by Lucie Fink who has spent the past decade getting curious and creating engaging and educational content for an audience of millions. On this show, you won’t hear your favorite guests talk about things they typically share — rather, Lucie pulls them deep into some of the world’s most taboo topics, asking intensely personal questions about sex, money, and mental health, all in an effort to help you feel less alone as you navigate through the world. And the best part: we want to invite YOU onto the show. Apply to call in as an anonymous guest at luciefink.com/apply. Pop in your voyeuristic headphones, or call in and spill your secrets!

"I wanted to drop dead when you asked me that." (Gaby & Meadow from Thoughts May Vary)
This episode contains references to suicide and sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a crisis, please reach out immediately to the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.
This week on the pod we’re thrilled to have Gabriela Ulloa and Meadowlark Monaghan from the brilliant podcast, Thoughts May Vary. Join us as we hear how they navigate the often-murky waters of mental health with a sense of humor and candid vulnerability that's as refreshing as it is rare. Their serendipitous connection blossomed into a poignant mission to reshape our discussions around well-being, trauma, and the healing journey. Gaby opens up about the money behind being a freelance writer, how she experienced sex shame growing up as a Catholic Latin, and the transformative effects that the Hoffman Process had on her mental health. Meadow lets us in on growing up in an extremely sex-positive family, her early experiences with grief, and how microdosing mushrooms helped her anxiety. Tune in for an engaging conversation where the celebration of our individual and collective journeys reminds us of the beauty in simply being ourselves.

Gut health, working with your spouse & finding balance (Special EXPERT episode with Tina Anderson)
This week, we are coming at you with a special EXPERT episode of The Real Stuff podcast. Thus far, all of our guests have come on to discuss taboo topics relating to sex, money, and mental health...but this week we wanted to try something new. Almost all of the podcasts I listen to personally are educational (mainly about health, wellness, and science). This week, I'm joined by Tina Anderson, the founder of Just Thrive Probiotics (the brand I've been taking over the past few months), to hear all about the importance of gut health and having a diverse gut microbiome. I've been having chronic sinus infections recently and thus have been on multiple rounds of antibiotics this year, and Just Thrive's spore-based probiotics are one of the only antibiotics I've heard of that can be taken alongside your antibiotic and still survive. We also dive into Tina's transformation from being an attorney to becoming an entrepreneur. Tina opens up about the personal and professional shifts that led her from courtrooms to conference rooms and shares why Just Thrive's spore-based probiotics hold the key to a thriving digestive system. Together, we discuss my own struggles with celiac disease and more. This episode isn't just about health; it's a candid reflection on work-life harmony, navigating career shifts while working alongside your spouse, and the complexities of being a parent and business leader.

Giving birth in the car: “I looked in my pants and saw her hair.” (Audience caller)
The moment Chelsea realized she couldn't sit down, something told her this was going to be a day unlike any other. Her story of giving birth to her second child, which unfolds like a scene straight out of a movie, kicks off our latest podcast episode with a bang. All stories of labor and delivery are unique, often leaving parents' expectations flipped upside down, but the raw power of motherhood always shines through. From the pulse-pounding dash to the hospital to Chelsea's astonishing car birth, we're sharing tales that underscore the unpredictability of childbirth and the incredible strength women possess. Chelsea's roadside delivery, complete with a Macy's backdrop, an unproductive 911 call, and sweatpants that are forever stained, turned an 11-minute drive into a life-changing journey with a very happy ending.

Solo Q&A: division of labor, having a girl, and my future on social media
Join us for a special Thursday edition of the podcast where we step away from our typical Tuesday format to bring you an audience Q&A. In today's conversation, I share a slice of my personal life, from the heartfelt reasons behind my baby's name to my hands-off approach to parenting and milestone tracking. I also get candid about how my husband and I worked through the challenges of having a long-distance relationship during our college years. This episode is full of personal anecdotes and insights, from the potential of stepping away from social media for mental wellness to the complexities of gender expectations with children. I also talk about how the intimate details of my postpartum sexual experiences have made headlines recently and how my family feels about me sharing such personal details about my life. Tune in for an honest and intimate look into life, love, and the little moments that have shaped my journey so far!

"At 59 years old, I'll have at least $32 million." (Tori Dunlap)
This week is all about the money as we have an enriching (no pun intended) dialogue with Tori Dunlap, an amazing internationally-recognized money and career expert, New York Times bestselling author, and podcast host. As we discuss her remarkable journey to multimillionaire status, Tori unravels the complexities of 'coast FIRE' and the influence of hitting that first $100k milestone. She offers a treasure trove of insights into savvy investment strategies and underscores the transformative effects of financial literacy. Our conversation is more than a guide to wealth—it’s a rallying cry for open discussions about money, challenging societal taboos, and embracing the delicate dance of privacy in our personal lives.
Tori is also a friend of mine in real life who I’ve had the pleasure of watching first-hand as she’s grown her incredible business and personal wealth. Her journey has been so inspiring to me, and I hope you feel the same way.

"We're having the best sex of our lives post-children." (Cameron Rogers)
Embark on an insightful journey through the labyrinth of new parenthood with our guest, Cameron Rogers, who's currently in the trenches of the fifth trimester with her second child. I love it when I get the chance the bring my friends on the podcast, and Cameron is a close friend in the industry. The two of us connect frequently and share intimate thoughts and financial figures about our businesses.
As a fellow podcast host and fresh to the motherhood scene, she brings a raw, unfiltered perspective on the Herculean task of balancing infant care with career aspirations. Together, we peel back the curtain on the dream and the reality of striving for professional fulfillment while nurturing a family, all while sleep deprivation looms large. Cameron's candor about the societal pressures of postpartum life, the importance of carving out time for herself and her marriage, and how her privileged upbringing has impacted her outlook on financial success is incredibly refreshing as she offers a glimpse of the often unspoken trials and tribulations of early parenting and "having it all."

Customer Reviews
Really refreshing honesty
Lucie brings the kind of hosting that I have always wanted in a podcast. She’s candid, she’s funny, she’s well spoken and most importantly, she’s direct. As someone who typically hates listening to podcasts with guests, I have yet to miss an episode of The Real Stuff. You don’t have to know anything about the guests mentioned before listening to feel fulfilled and connected to the show. Having listener submissions presents an extremely rare opportunity where the audience can listen to stories about average people and learn from their experiences. I highly recommend giving it a listen.
Already a Hit!
I have been following Lucie for years (since before 2016) watching her grow, learn, adjust, share, explore, laugh, try new things, experiment, show her life, be vulnerable, talk about hard stuff, share medical details, and of course, eat pizza. Looking forward to hearing about the real stuff. Love the topics she is exploring.
In-depth, real conversations
In the continued evolution of who Lucie has always been publicly, she taps into her natural curiosity to discuss fun, serious and intimate topics with a diverse cast of guest. I really enjoy hearing how different people approach some of the biggest challenges and opportunities in their lives and feeling like I better understand motivations and points of view.
