Lipstick on the Rim

Sharing a new series from one of our favorite podcasts: IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson. On IMO’s special series The Look, Michelle Obama opens up for the first time about her journey and legacy as a fashion icon– in and beyond the White House. Through a series of candid, intimate conversations with her longtime beauty collaborators, fashion insiders, and legendary women–including Jane Fonda, Nina Garcia, Bethann Hardison, Elaine Welteroth, Jenna Lyons, among others–she reveals how she and her team leveraged the scrutiny of her public image to boldly celebrate self-expression, inclusion, and cultural impact. A companion to her book, The Look celebrates an extraordinary legacy of authenticity and representation that continues to permeate culture, politics, and fashion today. In this episode, Project Runway host and Editor-in-Chief of Elle Nina Garcia, guides a conversation between Michelle Obama and African-American Literature professor Farah Jasmine Griffin. They dive into the making of Michelle Obama as a defining force in style: what she wore growing up in the South Side of Chicago, how she evolved her self-presentation in college, and how she stepped into her public image on the national stage as the first Black First Lady.

What if finding “the one” doesn’t happen on the timeline you expected? From dating in your 20s to finally meeting your person in your 30s, 40s, or even 50s, this week Molly and Emese are talking love, timing, and why it’s never too late. Molly and Emese get personal, sharing their own love stories — the heartbreaks, the false starts, the funny (and sometimes painful) lessons — and how they ultimately met their husbands later in life. They dive into what it’s really like to date when you feel “behind,” why timing matters more than age, and how to know when someone is truly right for you. We’re covering everything from red flags and green flags to money values, emotional readiness, the “right person, wrong time” myth, and what it actually means to treat dating like a job. Whether you’re single, dating, divorced, or just discouraged, this one’s for you. Because love doesn’t run on a schedule — and sometimes, being “late” means you get exactly who (and what) you were meant for. A Sony Music Entertainment production.

Why can’t women sleep? From tossing and turning through the night, to the 3AM wake-up call that feels impossible to recover from, insomnia is one of the most common issues women face — especially during perimenopause and menopause. Molly and Emese sit down with leading sleep expert Dr. Shelby Harris to unpack the science of women’s sleep and the real fixes that actually work. We cover everything from why hormones, stress, and parenting fatigue wreak havoc on REM cycles to evidence-based strategies like CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia), sleep hygiene hacks, and supplement myths. Dr. Harris also sets the record straight on the biggest viral myths — does age really mean you need less sleep? Does “before midnight” sleep count more? How much do women actually need? — and shares what every woman in her 30s, 40s, and 50s should know about protecting sleep for better brain health, mood, and longevity. Because better sleep isn’t just rest — it’s your key to sharper thinking, steadier mood, and better aging Mentioned in the Episode: The Women's Guide to Overcoming Insomnia: Get a Good Night's Sleep Without Relying on Medication by Dr. Shelby Harris TIMESHIFTER App Topical Magnesium Green Compass Full Spectrum Daily Nano Jellies Hatch Alarm A Sony Music Entertainment production.

The icon, the legend, and in her words, the “OG trad wife” joins Molly and Emese for an unfiltered masterclass in work ethic, evolution, and how she is rewriting the rules for aging.

We get her 4:00 a.m. morning routine, exact green-juice formula, smart use of injectables, and why nature is her #1 beauty tonic. She shares the mottos that have guided her, a wild Anthony Hopkins story, and her new skincare line, Elm Biosciences.Powerful, candid, and at times surprisingly vulnerable, this episode peels back the layers to uncover the Martha behind the myth—reminding us why she’s not just an icon, but an anomaly.
