Even though we are adults, we still need advice and guidance from our parents. In today’s bonus episode of NAKED, Catt calls her mother Linda Rendleman.  In this conversation the two connect on important issues,  but also discuss what’s hard to talk about for most of us. Race relations. Aging. Vanity. Menopause. And even incontinence. This episode is made possible by our friends at Depend - www.depend.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Eve Rodsky - author of domestic partnership bible, Fair Play - joins Catt in her bedroom for a pre-quarantine deep dive into sharing the workload at home.Before getting into the details of her game-changing book, Eve opens up about her early life -- from being raised by a single mom in the Lower East Side of New York, to graduating from Harvard with a law degree and moving on to build an incredibly successful legal career. But even with all these wins in her professional life, Eve's home dynamic was flailing. She realized there needed to be a dramatic change if her marriage was going to survive. So, after a life-changing "blueberry moment" (don't worry, she explains), she crowd-sourced hundreds of men and women about their division of labor and went to work building a roadmap for revival. Also in this episode, Catt shares some insight on her Vanity Fair essay about related issues (if you haven't read it yet, go check it out)! https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2018/04/catt-sadler-mom-tax-equal-pay **This week, we want to call your attention to the work being done by The Okra Project -- an amazing organization that works to have Black Trans chefs cooking healthy, delicious meals for Black Trans folks.

This week, Catt welcomes the incredibly talented and overall delightful Justina Blakeney to her bedroom. One of the last NAKED interviews recorded in-person, pre-pandemic, Justina shares how she grew her interior design business from a blog, to an empire. Justina's not just a savvy entrepreneur, she's a New York Times bestselling author, artist, and a whole lot more. From a very young age, she travelled the world - living in Switzerland and Italy - and was encouraged by her parents to embrace her multi-cultural background. With a self-described "global, jungalicious style," Justina's distinct approach to design and focus on accessibility has led to multiple collaborations with major retailers, from Target to Anthropologie.  Justina also shares her secret superpower (learning new languages), how she manages to stay creative while also running the nuts-and-bolts of a business, and how she's forced herself to learn the art of delegation.  Also in this episode, Catt talks about her first experience traveling abroad at the age of 28 - and how it spurred her to reflect on how the U.S. relates to the rest of the world.   To learn more about Justina, check out her IG @justinablakeney, her Website: http://www.justinablakeney.com/ or her design blog, Jungalow: https://www.jungalow.com/, which started it all. ***And a special note this week: We want to acknowledge and voice our support for the protests taking place across the country following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others. All across the U.S., people are coming together to demand an end to police brutality and bring awareness to the many issues that disproportionately impact Black communities.  WE CAN ALL DO BETTER, and here at team NAKED, we pledge to listen, learn and amplify Black voices.

Cara Santana stops by Catt's virtual bedroom this week, and the Vida star opens up about weathering a painful breakup with her fiancé, actor Jesse Metcalfe— in the midst of a pandemic no-less! Cara also shares how a childhood preoccupation with make-believe transformed into a career in the arts; what it was like to grow up in the border town of El Paso, Texas; and how coming to sobriety at an early age has taught her patience and compassion. From her career as an actress and entrepreneur, to her fashion blog, Cara has used her public platform to advocate for women's issues, immigrants' rights, and so much more. And in this episode, Catt shares her concerns about the world slowly re-opening - but also, her excitement, like the opportunity to someday travel with her girlfriends again.  In addition, why you should get tested for the coronavirus if you can, and... the undying brilliance of 1992 Geena Davis flick, A League of Their Own.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are back in Catt's bedroom this week, and this time, she's joined by Lauren Paul and Molly Thompson - founders of the nonprofit Kind Campaign that aims to end girl-on-girl bullying in our schools. The two real-life best friends share a behind-the-scenes look at how they bonded over being bullied as young girls and why they decided to channel that pain into something productive. After meeting in college, Lauren and Molly joined forces and decided to travel the country to make a documentary on the "mean girl" phenomenon, and what we can do to foster forces of kindness instead. The film grew into an international movement, and the women now work with schools across the globe through in-person assemblies (when those were allowed) and educational curriculum, to help promote inclusivity, love and acceptance among girls and teens. Lauren also shares a peek at what it's like to be married to actor Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, BoJack Horseman) and how his support has made it possible for Kind Campaign to climb to new heights. And in this episode, Catt shares a story about experiencing harassment by fellow females during her freshman year of high school - and who stepped in to stand up for her.  *A note, this was taped months before the Coronavirus hit, so the interview was done in-person in Catt's homeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She shares stories from real people she interviewed for her book, talks about the importance of lowering our expectations - especially in the time of Coronavirus -- and explains why we need to stop comparing ourselves to others.
