  This week is a big one for Sex and the Single Parent!!! We are thrilled beyond belief to have Mary Jo Eustace on our show. Precious and Mel consider her the Patron Saint of single parenting, the unicorn of guests, and if you don’t know who she is, she’s Dean McDermott’s ex, aka Tori Spelling’s husband aka she’s the one he left to be with Tori (after Tori and Dean worked together for three weeks on a Lifetime movie). Did I mention they had a child and were in the process of adopting one?...

We talked to Humble Howard Glassman on our podcast and now we get his daughter, Spencer’s, take: on the divorce, getting sober, stand-up, and finding her path. All this and she just turned 20. Intimidating, funny, and precocious, it’s fascinating to talk to a young woman at the start of her adulthood.

Precious goes solo in this episode with solo show performer and endometriosis activist Christel Bartelse, who speaks frankly about her struggle over whether or not to have a baby. When fertility seems to be everybody’s business and time is not on our side, deciding whether or not to go procreate can get real complicated. (Feel free to skip over the part where Precious tries to describe the plot of a tv show).
