Summary

Molly and Emese sit down with Belle Burden, author of Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage, whose story—a sudden betrayal, COVID lockdown, and a marriage that ended overnight — became one of the most talked-about pieces in The New York Times Modern Love column. Belle gets candid about the prenup clause that came back to haunt her, why so many women unknowingly hand over their financial power in a marriage, and why she refused to pretend any of it was "amicable." And she shares the slow, unglamorous process of coming back to herself—and what she'd tell every woman to do differently. This isn't a bitter divorce story. It's a story about self-trust, financial awareness, and the surprising gifts that can emerge from a life coming undone. Strangers: A Memoir of a Marriage is out now. A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts and follow us at @sonypodcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com Mentioned in the Episode: Learn more about your ad choices.

As the days start getting longer and warmer, thank God, I always feel like I naturally want to eat a little lighter. But obviously I still want my comfort foods. Like I still want a sandwich or wrap, pasta nights, all of it. But I actually want it to fit my macros and not leave me feeling blah afterwards. That's where Hero Bread has completely changed the game for me. First of all, the taste and the texture. I was super shocked

the first time I tried it. It's soft, it's fluffy, it toasts beautifully, and honestly, it just

tastes and feels like regular bread. You would never guess. It has zero to five grams of net carbs

per serving, zero grams of sugar, and 11 to 32 grams of fiber depending on what you're having.

I've been using their sliced bread for

quick spring BLTs and avocado toast, their tortillas for veggie-packed lunch wraps, and their

bagels for super easy protein breakfast for my kids. And it's not just bread. They also have buns,

noodles, and some seriously good small batch drops like hero noodles, which have 12 grams of protein

and just 80 calories per serving.

It makes getting your fiber goals in easier, meal simpler, and honestly, it lets you enjoy the

foods that you love without feeling like you're compromising anything. Hero Bread is offering 10%

whole personality comes back. You want color, you want texture, you want to get dressed and actually

feel something. And I could not be more ready to reset my wardrobe for spring, which is exactly why I

keep ending up at Macy's. They have everything I'm looking for right now. I've been eyeing the

sheer layering pieces from BCBG. Lay soft layers, the kind of thing you throw on for a spring
