Summary

Nikki & Brie reunite with longtime friend and comedy powerhouse Anjelah Johnson-Reyes for a heartfelt, hilarious catch-up that spans motherhood, career evolution, and everything in between. The conversation gets real about how life has changed in their 40s—and how becoming moms has softened, challenged, and reshaped them. Anjelah shares what it’s like bringing her daughter on tour, navigating mom guilt, and learning how to balance it all while staying true to herself. The trio also dives into Anjelah’s brand new comedy special Ugly Baby, her most vulnerable work yet, where she opens up about motherhood, body changes, and finding humor in it all. Plus, they play a fun round of “Ugly Baby Jeopardy,” swap parenting stories, and talk boundaries, fame, and raising confident kids. It’s honest, funny, and full of love. Press play.

take a little coffee shop break at Starbucks and have a little you time. Totally. We have to

totally redefine what rewards mean. It doesn't have to be this full on spa day. It can be something

simple as this. It does feel like spa day when I drink it. Starbucks has always been one of those

little rituals in my day. So this feels like such a natural moment for me to put into my day. And now my
