This week, Amy sits down with writer/producer, Susan McMartin (Mom, Two and a Half Men, Mr. Church) about her journey through alcoholism and sobriety. During the conversation, Susan opens up about her upbringing with an alcoholic mother, her experience realizing that she was an alcoholic and her incredibly personal book, Understanding the Fall.

Amy talks with New York Times Bestselling Author and ordained Lutheran pastor, Nadia Bolz-Weber (Shameless, Accidental Saints) about her courageous journey to reclaim her own sexuality within in a religious system that can sometimes be hostile to it.  In a frank, joy-infused and freewheeling conversation, Pastor Nadia and Amy share their personal histories, foibles and philosophies which allow them both — at long last! — to be in relationships where deep love and deep sexuality can co-exist.

Amy sits down with Brad Silberling (director: Moonlight Mile, Casper, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) to talk about an event that changed his life in July of 1989 when his girlfriend at the time, Rebecca Schaeffer, was shot and killed. During this conversation, Brad and Amy talk about the timeline of the day and how the event continues to shape him both personally and professionally. And because Brad is Amy’s husband, it has shaped her life as well.
