  Valerie sits down with Jordan Catapano, co-founder of This Girl Walks Into a Bar, to talk mocktails, motherhood, and building a business from the ground up. What started as a book for women learning to bartend turned into a line of organic, low-sugar cocktail mixers — made to taste just as good without the alcohol.Jordan opens up about walking away from a failed screenwriting career, running the business alongside her sister, raising two kids through it all, and rebuilding after losing her home in the Palisades Fire. It's honest, funny, and full of the kind of resilience Valerie's Home Cooking fans have come to expect from Getting Naked. Want to see Valerie and Jordan actually make the drinks?

  Warming Up Hot | Valerie Bertinelli | Hot in Cleveland

  Sep 23, 202633 min

  Valerie and Todd welcome legendary studio audience warm-up man Michael Burger — the guy behind the guy who kept the Hot in Cleveland crowd laughing for hours before a single scene ever aired. Michael pulls back the curtain on what warm-up work really involves, from his run on 8 Simple Rules with John Ritter to memories of Betty White's legendary ad-libs and the night Hot in Cleveland premiered to 5 million viewers. It's a warm, funny look behind the scenes from one of the kindest guys in the business. Stick around for this episode's Still Steamy segment, available exclusively to Valerie's Place members. This time it's a game — "Warm Up or Cool Down" — where Val has to guess which shows Michael actually worked, and he's got a story ready for every one she gets right.

  Return of the Mack | Valerie Bertinelli | Mackenzie Phillips

  Sep 14, 202639 min

  She's back. In Part 2 of one of the most requested conversations in Getting Naked history, Valerie and Mackenzie Phillips pick up right where they left off — and go even deeper. They begin with listener voicemails, including questions about working together again and about Mackenzie's memoir High on Arrival — a book Mackenzie is clear about: it's not a book about incest. It's a memoir. A full life, on the page, with honesty and courage. From there, the conversation moves into some of the most raw and important territory the podcast has ever covered: the 90-day trauma program that changed Mackenzie's life, the letter she received at work years after the book came out that confirmed what she had always had a knowing about, and the EMDR therapy that finally helped both women begin to process what had happened to them. They talk about carrying someone else's shame, about forgiving a father on his deathbed not for him but for herself, and about what recovery actually means — for drugs, for trauma, for survival of any kind. They also talk about grief — the recent loss of Mackenzie's dearest friend Marissa, who died four weeks after being diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer. About discovering in your 60s that you're actually an introvert. About celibacy, boundaries, and the radical act of caring for yourself. And they end where all the best conversations end: with two women who have known each other for over 50 years, sitting across from each other for the first time, saying I love you and meaning every word. In the Full Reveal — exclusively for Valerie's Place members — they get into the naked truth about recovery: what it really takes, the many paths to the top of the mountain, and why, as Gabor Maté says, the question is never "why the drugs" but always "why the pain." September 18th at 1pm ET — Live After-Show with Mackenzie Phillips. Submit your questions and join live. Available to all paid members only on Valerie's Place.

  One Pod at a Time | Valerie Bertinelli | Mackenzie Phillips | One Day at a Time

  Sep 7, 202639 min

  She's the most requested guest since day one — and she was absolutely worth the wait. Valerie sits down with her oldest friend, One Day at a Time co-star, and honorary sister Mackenzie Phillips for a conversation that spans five decades of shared history, Hollywood childhood, hard-won recovery, and the kind of friendship that picks back up exactly where it left off. They go all the way back to the beginning — a chance elevator meeting at CBS when they were both 15, the making of One Day at a Time under Norman Lear's wing, and what it was like to grow up in the spotlight before anyone had a word for it. They talk about the years they lost touch, the guilt Valerie has carried about not being there during Mackenzie's darkest period, and the phone calls Mackenzie made — "I just want you to know I have six months today" — that she didn't expect returned. In the Full Reveal — exclusively for Valerie's Place members — it's 1970s Hollywood, Rick Springfield, KC and the Sunshine Band, a club they definitely shouldn't have been in, and the story of how Mackenzie got Valerie out of there before things went too far. Plus: Valerie opens up about her quiet sobriety journey, a viewer asks the question everyone's thinking ("you two need to do another sitcom"), and Part 2 is coming — because there was simply too much left to say.
