In this episode, we talk to documentary producer, Tracy Aftergood. Tracy talks candidly about her career trajectory, the tragic loss of her best friend, her mom, at an early age, and the work she does to show up for herself, so she can show up for her kids and her relationship. Tracy’s latest doc on Diane Von Furstenberg, is now streaming on Hulu (link in show notes).

Every week on the pod, I bake for our guests if they come to the closet IRL. For Tracy and her family, I made classic chocolate chip muffins. Tracy gets bonus points for eating a muffin at my kitchen counter before we started recording. Truly loved it.

In this episode we talk to TV and film writer Kit Steinkellner. She shares her journey through Hollywood, from growing up on the set of some of our favorite shows, attending school on a studio lot, to balancing a creative career with parenting, and the intricacies of personal and professional life. From Kit’s childhood on nostalgic TV sets, to her breakthrough TV show 'Sorry for Your Loss', Kit offers an intimate look into her life, the challenges of maintaining passion projects, and the realities of parenting during a pandemic. And if you’re curious, we looked it up, she’s not a nepo baby, SHE’s AN INDUSTRY, BABY.
