Linda Marigliano's Tough Love

On a rainy day in LA, Linda meets comedian Leslie Liao (Central Intelligence) at her apartment. Leslie reflects on her Asian American upbringing in The OC and how she tried to fit in. She gives Linda her current rules on dating, feelings after freezing her eggs and what her needs are in a relationship. And we love a girl who f*cking loves a to-do list.

Hey Australia! Leslie Liao is touring in June - go to www.leslieliao.com for more and follow her IG @resrieriao

Join Linda on her hilarious and real journey towards self-reflection and growth. Season 3 will continue to see Linda grapple with every essence of change and control with an extended season of weekly episodes of returning characters and a new cast of exciting guests: comedians Aaron Chen (Fisk, Koala Man), Blair Socci (Aqua Teen Forever) DeAnne Smith (Netflix’s Gender Agenda), best-selling authors Gabrielle Stone (Eat, Pray, #FML), Jess Damuck (Health Nut, Salad Freak) and Charlotte Ree (Heartbake: A Bittersweet Memoir), and some of the most integral personalities of pop cultural fabric, Chelsea Devantez (The Problem with Jon Stewart, Girls5eva, Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast), Osher Günsburg (The Bachelor), and more to be revealed.

Back in Australia, Linda is shocked when her dad shares some life-changing news about his health. Then, her mum confesses a personal secret from her childhood. Faced with the reality of her parents getting older, Linda realises that their time together is limited. With her move to the US on the horizon, Linda asks how can we navigate duty and loyalty from afar? How do we deal with our parents getting older?

Join Linda on her hilarious, raw and (sometimes) sad journey towards self-reflection and growth in a time of uncertainty.

Tough love lessons on all the shit that counts.

Host @LindaMarigliano with guests @Anna Lunoe and @Mike Williams

This week, Linda has been rethinking her relationship with perfection and has invited the perfect player over for afternoon snacks. Professional tennis and pickleball player Genie Bouchard has spent her lifetime aiming for the top, and is in constant reassessment with the sacrifices and the discipline it has taken to be such a high achiever.

Linda and Genie talk through the ways they’ve learned to relax, how Genie’s life in the spotlight has made it difficult to find trust in her adult relationships... and how life is a little messy sometimes, and that’s ok.

You can find Genie on IG @geniebouchard

Lindy xo

Linda’s friends and family are starting to feel even more far away. As we live increasingly global lives, Linda is wondering, how do we maintain these homegrown relationships while setting down roots elsewhere?

Linda spends an afternoon with illustrator and podcast host Sophie Ansari (Podcrushed & @scribbledbysophie) and hears about her life living overseas away from her close knit family.

You also hear about how Sophie’s birth experience solidified her identity and compelled her to step up from her people pleasing ways. They chat about Sophie’s approach to motherhood, how her husband and her share the parenting load, and how both women are suckers for nostalgia.

Search up Sophie's podcast Podcrushed with her co hosts Penn Badgley & Nava Kavelin, plus follow her on IG @scribbledbysophie

Join Linda on her hilarious and real journey towards self-reflection and growth. Season 3 will continue to see Linda grapple with every essence of change and control with an extended season of weekly episodes of returning characters and a new cast of exciting guests: comedians Blair Socci (Aqua Teen Forever), DeAnne Smith (Netflix’s Gender Agenda), best-selling author & therapist Vienna Pharaon (The Origins of You), and more to be revealed.
