Eva and Caroline sit down with Flavia Masson—native New Yorker of Italian and French descent, comedian, fashion girl, and film writer—for a candid, hilarious, and unexpectedly profound conversation about humor.

Flavia opens up about always seeing herself reflected in TV and film characters—think Charlotte from Sex and the City meets Emily in Paris, with a dash of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. She has lived in Paris, worked at Chanel, converted to Judaism, and spent time chasing truth (and laughs) as a stand-up comic.

Together, they unpack humor as a salve, how it may be the highest art form, and why comedy has always been complicated—and powerful—for women.

Thoughtful and laugh-out-loud funny, this episode feels like hanging out with your smartest, funniest friends—who also happen to be very well dressed.

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.

We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.

In this episode, we take a brutally honest look at how parents have gone from letting their kids fend for themselves to literally being drones, on top of their kids' every move. From Life 360 to Apple Tags, and even following our kids to College, we need to stop over-monitoring and start teaching our kids the skills to make their own decisions and the values to know right from wrong. And not just droning, we are snow plowing, aka plowing the road ahead for our kids so they don't even encounter problems, which is a recipe for the LEAST resilient kid on the block. How do we shift our approach so that the next generation can grow up with real resilience, a clear sense of right and wrong, AND not need their parents to accompany them to college? This conversation is as hilarious as it is serious, and if you are offended...buck up, and learn to take a joke!

This week, Caroline and Eva try to practice gratitude… and break down how appreciating everyday moments can actually improve your mental and physical health, strengthen your relationships, and even make the chaos of life feel a little lighter.​ Despite all those benefits, they admit that being grateful in marriage and parenting can sometimes feel so damn hard. Maybe the trick is lowering the bar—finding joy in the tiny wins, the almost-wins, and the “well, at least no one cried today” moments.​ If you can separate feeling overwhelmed from what’s actually good, there’s more joy hiding in your daily life than you think. If you need to learn to stop and actually smell the roses, this is your Thanksgiving episode.

Caroline and Eva discuss their growing frustration with today’s parenting expectations — from over-scheduling kids to using “gentle” language instead of real discipline. They miss the days when kids were allowed to be bored, independent, and a little feral … rather than constantly programmed. Maybe benign neglect wasn’t the worst strategy, and telling your kid to shut the f**k up once in a while won't cause any permanent damage.

Don’t worry, Eva and Caroline would never yell or curse at their kids… except when their kids deserve it. And studies show people who swear often have higher verbal and creative fluency. So who's the genius now? They ask the big question: Are we raising resilient, empathetic, independent humans, or over-coddled perfection projects who can’t think or do for themselves?

It’s time to rethink what kids actually need: boundaries, accountability, character … and a little less pressure to be future Harvard robots.
