Episode Synopsis

A month ago, Maggie got dumped over text - classy! All while juggling job hunting, co-parenting logistics, and the daily chaos of solo mum life. But instead of collapsing into a rom-com montage of tissues and Häagen-Dazs, she just kept going (mostly because small humans still need breakfast).

In this week’s On The Couch, the girls unpack the messy, hilarious, and strangely empowering art of managing your own heartbreak while still being the adult in the room. From dating as a single mum to finding love again after divorce, Maggie shares what she’s learned about resilience, perspective, and why sometimes the most radical thing you can do is not fall apart.

Then, in Self Help(ed) Scoop of the Week, Tully and Maggie react to Sylvester Stallone’s wife Jennifer Flavin’s… let’s call it “creative” theory on the rise of trans kids in Hollywood and finally, they wrap up with a brand-new game segment: Guess the Dumb Dumb - celebrating the greatest thinkers saying the dumbest things. 

It’s heartache, healing, and a healthy dose of chaos - just another week of Self Help(ed).
