The delightful, super talented Christine Lakin joins TSM this week and shares her Hollywood wild ride. All the pivot moments have lead her to a great spot as a director, but she still struggles with anxiety.. . because she's a human woman! These ladies talk deadlines and day dreams of an office of one's own, hormones, and camel toe.

Cristina is still Fringe Festival-ing. Go check her out!

TSM ladies only today! Ilana returns from France with this hot take. . . Paris is phenomenal. Cristina spent some time in Florida for spring break and it was magical. Building frustration tolerance is key to life. Do French people drink water? Nope. Only wine. Little sober Ilana barely survived France, hydration-wise. Cristina is buying less but loving her stuff more! Cristina's Fringe Festival show is tomorrow, June 5th!

Cyrina Fiallo, actress, artist and all around wonderful human talks about getting into the game later, nerves and how everyone should be seeing a therapist! WE AGREE!!! Host Cristina Fernandez is NOT the president of Argentina. Ilana accidentally wears Birks to an audition but uses the very real embarrassment for the character. . . she does not book this job. Keep an eye out for Cyrina's live show, "The Great Adult Do Over Extravaganza." It is a chance for adults to redeem that one performance, audition, or dream! We are all unintentionally On Wikifeet. Cyrina shares her hyperhidrosis diagnosis which stems from anxiety.

Author Jane Borden started as a comedian but has gone full research journalist with her latest book, Cults Like Us! We love cults, cults love us, and we are here for it. Did you know the Pilgrims were basically a doomsday group!? Cristina will start a crying cult. Ilana has really edged up against several cults... also, she does have an incredible opportunity to talk to you about when you have a chance. Have you heard of Neurasthenia? It's too much self help and self seeking that can leave you feeling crappy! So trust that you're on the right path and take it all with a grain of salt. Meditation is not self exploration, so close your eyes and get busy not thinking! It's the best thing for you.

We got listener mail!!! All we can do is keep the convo going. Remember to discuss with your doctor or mental health professional. It's Mental Health Awareness Month - want to get your challenges off your chest? Hit us up at thatssomentalpodcast@gmail.com.

This one is juicy!

Remember Britney Spears being in that wild conservatorship?

Comedian and former investigative journalist, Tess Barker, helped free Britney and she gets into HOW that happened.

Will Ilana and Tess reignite their sketch group that went nowhere? Cristina is ready throw a dinner party, but has a cap of 23.

This episode will make you want pasta for dinner and also help you understand California conservatorships.

Tess ultimately helped expose the abuse that has been happening in conservatorships which helped change the legislation for the better. What a badass!!!!
