Natalie Morales: Career Reinvention, Big Leaps & Letting Go in the Saddle
What happens when two longtime friends— TV host & journalist Natalie Morales ( The Today Show, Access Hollywood, The Talk ) and Kit Hoover —finally sit down to spill the tea on everything they never talked about before? Pure magic. Today’s episode is real, raw, and ridiculously fun—just two girlfriends catching up and dishing on career twists, hilarious behind-the-scenes moments, and the unexpected things that bring them joy (hint: horses, wine, and letting go of perfection). Some of Our Favorite Moments: “What are we waiting for?” – Natalie talks about making the bold move from NYC to LA, inspired by Kit, and realizing that the perfect time never comes—you just have to jump. “I feed my therapist hay.” – Natalie opens up about her deep connection with horses and how they’ve taught her to let go, trust, and be present. “Don’t underestimate me.” – For years, she was told she wasn’t “Latina enough” or that she didn’t have the right news “edge.” Natalie shares how she finally found her voice and learned to ask for what she deserved. “Forget hair, makeup, and glamour.” – Advice for aspiring journalists? Be ready for 3 AM wake-up calls, working weekends, and rolling your own teleprompter —because that’s the real grind. “Give me wine, cheese, and chocolate, and I’ll talk for days!” – Natalie reveals her go-to indulgences and her undeniable love for a good hangout session. “Laugh at yourself more.” – Even now, she admits she’s her own toughest critic. But she’s learning to let go, internalize less, and embrace the joy. “Sleep. Turns. Me. On.” – Forget the fancy answers. A solid night’s sleep is what gets Natalie feeling her best! (Relatable, right?!) “I’ve just started manifesting.” – While she doesn’t know exactly what’s next, one thing is for sure—Natalie is creating space for new opportunities and FUN. This isn’t just another interview—it’s two besties getting real about reinvention, change, and finding clarity in life’s pivots. If you’ve ever thought about making a big life move, chasing a dream, or just wondering what’s next , this one’s for you.

Letters to The Coop: Handling Criticism, College Decisions & Thriving Through Tween Chaos
We’re back with another round of Letters to The Coop , and y’all keep bringing the good questions! In this episode, we dive into everything from dating after divorce (Katie Couric gave us GREAT advice for dating in your 50s!) to handling a friend who’s suddenly way too critical. We also talk about surviving the college admissions process (spoiler: the stress is real, but we’ve got tips!), and of course, middle school drama—because is there anything more brutal than those tween years? Plus, Kit spills her best parenting hack for making middle school a little easier (trust us, this one’s a game-changer). Whether you’re in the thick of it or just here for things that make us all laugh, we’ve got you! Today we cover: Dating After Divorce – Okay, deep breath. We talk about confidence, embracing the unknown, and why we’re all about the “don’t chase, attract” mindset and the slow burn (thank you Katie Couric!). When Your Friend Gets a Little Too Critical – We’ve all been there—one of your closest friends suddenly starts questioning your decisions. How do you handle it without blowing up the friendship? College Admissions Stress – If you’re a parent going through this process, we see you! We’re sharing what’s worked for us (and what definitely didn’t) to help keep the stress levels down—for you and your kid. Middle School Madness – The mean girl phase? The friend drama? The why-is-this-so-hard moments? We get into all of it.

Chelsea Handler: Joyfully Chasing 50, Vulnerability & What Turns Her On
Go grab your vodka cocktail (or your gummy) and tune in for today's conversation in The Coop, which is fearless, funny, and packed with wonderous truth bombs. The one-and-only Chelsea Handler brings us her signature mix of sharp humor and unapologetic truth-telling. With her upcoming book, I’ll Have What She’s Having , she dives into what therapy taught her, why she’s strutting into her 50s with confidence, and how she’s done proving herself to anyone—and we get into all of it. From her obsession with giving advice to the fine art of curating the perfect girl gang (spoiler: Mallorca invites are earned, not given), Chelsea doesn’t just bring the laughs—she brings the wisdom. She gets real about letting go, embracing vulnerability, and living life entirely on her own terms. She also shares the one thing she wishes men understood about strong women, why she’s over traditional relationships, every pharmaceutical pill she brings on tour, and how she’s prioritizing joy in every aspect of her life. And because The Coop always leaves you with something to chew on, we’ll close it out with a Chelsea-ism to live by: “I don’t have to prove myself to anyone. Either get on board or get out of the way.” And the life mantra we all need: “Find your happy. Chase it down. Hold onto it for dear life.” 🔗 Tickets + Tour Dates: Chelsea Handler Live 🔗 Listen to Dear Chelsea : Podcast | Chelsea Handler 🔗 Get the Book: I’ll Have What She’s Having -- This episode was produced by Kit Hoover and Harper McDonald.

Margaret Cho: Rewriting the Gift of Sleep, Sobriety & Situationships
In today’s fearless episode of The Coop , we welcome the one and only Margaret Cho—comedian, actor, musician, activist, and absolute legend. From crushing stand-up stages at 14 years old, to breaking racial barriers with All-American Girl , to selling out Carnegie Hall, and even playing Kim Jong-il on 30 Rock —Margaret has done it all, and then some. She’s Live and Livid on stage these days, and we get into exactly what’s fueling her fire—from women’s rights to political absurdity to finding joy in the madness. She opens up about sobriety, body image, love, loss, and why she’s choosing “situationships” over marriage . And yes, we dig into her famous 12 hours up, 12 hours down sleep practice, how she writes a joke every single day before getting out of bed , and why her mother has an actual prayer group dedicated to finding her a husband (bless her heart). Margaret doesn’t just push boundaries—she obliterates them . Whether she’s talking about being one of the few women in stand-up in the ‘90s, the sheer injustice of Hollywood’s double standards, or why love isn’t just for the young and beautiful (the theme behind her new song Lucky Gift ), this conversation is as bold as it is soulful—with just the right amount of bite. And because The Coop always leaves you with something to chew on, we’ll close it out with a Margaret-ism to live by: “You reap what you sow. So I’m sowing joy.” Or just the life mantra we all need: “Do it. It doesn’t have to be good. Just do it.” So y’all, tune in and get ready for a conversation that is sharp-witted, unfiltered, and deeply, beautifully human. 🔗 Tickets + Tour Dates: Tour Dates | Margaret Cho Official Site 🔗 Listen to Lucky Gift : Music | Margaret Cho Official Site -- This episode was produced by Kit Hoover and Harper McDonald.

Uzo Aduba: Restoring Joy & The Road Ahead with Her Mother's Legacy
Get ready, because this week in The Coop, we’ve got the one-and-only—Uzo Aduba. You know her as the unforgettable Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren from Orange is the New Black , but Uzo’s story is so much bigger than her iconic characters. Her new book, The Road is Good , dives into a life filled with resilience, joy, and the unstoppable strength and spunk she inherited from her mother. Growing up as a Nigerian-American in a Boston suburb, Uzo faced challenges fitting in but learned to embrace her identity (and gorgeous tooth gap), thanks to her mother's wisdom and love. Her mom’s lessons—like insisting people learn her name instead of changing it—taught Uzo about self-worth and pride. Uzo nearly walked away from acting, but on the very day she quit, she got the call for Orange is the New Black and life’s trajectory took a powerful, joyful turn. Oh, and did we mention Uzo is a classically trained opera singer, former figure skater, AND a track star? Holy talent, people. This episode is packed with joy, grit, and laughs as we explore staying true to your roots, and your Mama. So, trust the stage—let the universe do its thing—and join us in The Coop for this unforgettable and heartfelt conversation with Uzo Aduba. -- This episode was produced by Kit Hoover and Harper McDonald.

Breast Cancer: Myths, Density, Saving the Nipple & Taking Charge with Dr. Kristi Funk
In this special episode, The Coop with Kit gives breast cancer the real talk treatment with Dr. Kristi Funk, the powerhouse specialist who’s guided Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow. Ready to cut through the clutter? Dr. Funk busts open myths around bras, deodorant, and cell phones, debunking once and for all what does—and doesn’t—contribute to breast cancer. And she dives into the often-overlooked issue of breast density, shedding light on why many women need more than just the standard mammogram. We also hit on hormone replacement therapy, IUDs, saving the nipple, and foods that protect us from cancer. Our takeaway? Power up with knowledge and take charge of your health journey. We’re also catching up with three fierce survivors and past guests—rock icon Melissa Etheridge, beach-read queen Elin Hilderbrand, and news legend Katie Couric—who share raw, unfiltered stories of staring down breast cancer and coming out stronger. Each has channeled their experiences into fierce advocacy and awareness, rallying others to be vigilant, informed, and empowered. With a mix of humor, heart, and actionable advice, today's Coop turns what could be a heavy topic into a lively, must-hear episode for every woman—and those who stand beside them.

Lindsey Vonn: Carved by Resilience, Grit & Mom's Strength
Today in The Coop, we carve through life lessons with the legendary Lindsey Vonn. As the first American woman to win Olympic Gold in downhill skiing, with 82 World Cup Wins and 2 World Championship Golds, Lindsey’s accolades are well known. But in today’s conversation, we focus on what shaped her beyond the medals. Lindsey has been outspoken about her mental health journey, all the ups and downs. And in today's conversation... we touch on this, and then the conversation really becomes a beautiful love letter to her true mentor… her Mom, who recently passed away. Lindsey opens up about her late mother’s strength and how it continues to shape her outlook on life. We talk about her retirement from skiing and how she’s feeling now in a pain-free, new bionic body. This conversation is all about grit, mental toughness, and how she has found balance and happiness through life’s highs and lows. This woman is simply fearless. This is Lindsey Vonn. -- This episode was produced by Kit Hoover and Harper McDonald. Our Technical Producer is Christian Brown, and this episode was edited by Christian Brown.

Katie Couric: Navigating Grief, 50s Dating & Crushing the Back Nine
In today’s sunny episode of The Coop , Kit Hoover brings in none other than Katie Couric for a chat bubbling with laughter and sage advice. Whether she’s discussing the rose and thorns in her career, navigating widowhood, or how she’s shaping the future of women's health with her current projects, Katie is a vibrant force of nature. Katie's career rose from morning cheer on the 'Today Show' to making history as the first female anchor of the 'CBS Evening News' and then stirring up (and walking away from) daytime TV with her own talk show. She didn't just stay in the headlines; she rewrote them by channeling her personal battles with cancer into a powerhouse advocacy for early colon and breast cancer screenings. Katie has taught us everything about how to turn pain into purpose. And because no visit to The Coop is complete without some spice, we dive into Katie’s love life pre-Molner (her current hubby) and the lessons learned from dating in her 50s. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration and giggles. Tune in and get ready to be inspired, educated, and, as always, left wanting just a little more Katie. – Follow us on social media @thecoopwithkithoover for behind-the-scenes content, teasers and updates.
