Next Episode: The Sixty-Second One... and its Questions with Wendi & Dfernando

Episode 61 and Wendi and Dfernando's guest interview is writer, performer and content creator Tova Leigh.

Tova Leigh was born in Israel and practiced Law, working as a Labor Law attorney for two years before moving to the UK in 2006 to pursue a career in acting.

With an MA in Performing Arts and a diploma in Script Writing, Tova went on to write, act and produce several short films and a TV pilot, before starting a family in 2011 with her husband Mike.

She started her successful blog - MY THOUGHTS ABOUT STUFF - in 2015 as a creative outlet and because she wanted to share the struggles she faced as a mom with other women. In less than three years her blog made her into an internet sensation with her blunt rants about motherhood, sex and all things taboo.

Her viral online series MOM LIFE CRISIS, which documents her own mid-life crisis following a health scare, resonated with millions of women across the world and later became a documentary film on Amazon Prime Video.

In March 2019, Tova released her first book F*CKED AT 40: Life Beyond Suburbia, Monogamy and Stretch Marks. Tova takes the reader on her journey of rediscovering who she is after motherhood and beyond the norms society forces upon women, whilst encouraging them to break free and just be themselves. This book is for every woman that has ever felt trapped; a funny, raw and empowering mid-life-crisis. Tova recently released the paperback version which includes a brand new chapter!

In 2021, Tova released her new book titled YOU DID WHAT?. This book is something Tova has wanted to do for a long time and it will be a collection of the best confessions she has heard over the years along with her own stories and insights on the connection between having secrets and feeling shame.

Tova also co-hosts the weekly podcast Till Death Do Us Pod with her husband Mike and has a successful one-woman comedy show which she regularly takes on tour around North America, Canada and the UK. Her latest show YOU DID WHAT?: The Show kicks-off in September 2021 in the UK.

Tova is a mother of three girls and lives together with her family in London.

Also on Episode 61, Wendi and Dfernando are back from a little break and Wendi shares a story of filming the upcoming Paramount Plus film RENO 911!: The Hunt for the QAnon on the haunted Queen Mary luxury liner.

On THE RIPE REPORT, there's Sunday Riley Pink Drink Firming Resurfacing Essence and the perks of subscribing to the Peacock streaming app.
