In this episode, we sit down with actress, artist, and real-life supermom Karen Pittman–whose role as Dawn Edwards in Netflix’s “Forever” had us feeling seen like never before. We hear about Karen’s path from opera to acting, raising two kids as a single mom, and why she waited 14 years to let love back in. Keke’s own mama, Sharon also joins the conversation for a powerful, three-generational discussion about Black motherhood, identity, and everything that “Forever” gets so right. Keke also reflects on how becoming a mom to Leo reshaped how she sees her own childhood and the quiet power of witnessing your kids as they grow. Because if there’s one thing we know: the mama is the one. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll definitely call your mama after this one.Get the Saks designer brands you love, delivered just like that. New on Amazon.

What really went down behind the gates of the Playboy Mansion? Author, advocate, podcaster, producer—and former Playboy Bunny—Holly Madison is here to expose the truth behind the fantasy, and baby, she’s not holdin’ back. We’re talking beauty, power, survival, and that wild ride from girlfriend to boss. Holly gets honest about the mansion’s unspoken rules, the group dynamics (yep, the shade was real), and why walking away from Hef wasn’t the end—it was the beginning. From reality TV to real-life healing, she opens up about finding her voice, setting boundaries, and finally claiming her freedom. Plus, we get into her hit true crime series, and how getting diagnosed with autism helped her see her story in a whole new light.
