Kelly's mom's in TNR! Reflections and celebrations: motherhood + being a daughter

The Naked Room — Wed, 06 May 2026 10:48:00 GMT

TNR’s #1 MVP and supporter, Kelly’s mom, Brenda Lawson, joins Kelly + JL to celebrate the holiest of all the Hallmark holidays, Mother’s Day. Tune in for reflections on motherhood and being a daughter. Being a mom is the most wonderful (and scariest and frustrating and incredible, on and on — all the emotions) experience any woman can have. There’s no relationship like that of the one between a mother and daughter. Kelly and her mom dive into some childhood memories, and Brenda remembers her mom and how great of a listener she was. JL emphasizes how her mom, “Hot Donna”, has always led with kindness and how she taught JL the value of good, hard work. This episode is just wholesome af and has all the feels. Drop in and give your nervous system the break that it needs 🧡

Annie Choi: real talk on dating in 2026, being a boss lady + finding her unicorn 🦄

The Naked Room — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 10:36:00 GMT

This week in TNR, Annie Choi joins Kelly and JL to talk about something that sometimes feels like the Wild West: dating and relationships in 2026. Being on the apps is exhausting, and Annie shares her insights on the current dating landscape: the good, the bad, and the face palm moments. Like that one time a dude asked her how they would keep in touch after she said she was getting off the apps. DUDE. Come on. Maybe ask for her number, bro! Being THE boss lady (Found Coffee just celebrated 11 years of business!!) and a community SUPERSTAR, Annie’s the best catch in town.

Do you believe in God?

The Naked Room — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 10:43:00 GMT

Sup, Roomies! This week, a fan wrote in a question that Kelly and JL couldn't deny -- it's a doozy! One of the biggest questions of all the questions ... "Do you believe in God?" JL and Kelly contemplate their definition of what God means to them, how curious it is that so many religions are rooted in similar beliefs, and yet, WHY so much division? (Make it make sense!) JL can't stop talking about how much she loves space, and Kelly is unabashedly owning her woo woo-ness

Mike Underell: on being a role model for my daughter, believing women + my allyship journey

The Naked Room — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:33:00 GMT

There's a MAN in TNR this week! The Substack algo sent Kelly a beacon of hope in Mike Underell. Male feminists are few and far between, so a conversation with Mike was categorized as a need to have. Mike shares insights on allyship, the power of women's sports, and how he's dismantling the patriarchy from within. He challenges other men to question their own programming and breaks down his own processing in this powerful conversation that has JL and Kelly riveted

I was watching hockey when my daughter asked, “Do girls play sports?” I was shocked! Despite all the sports we do together, she only saw boys on TV. It hit me hard—what messages am I sending her?

We're going back to the most popular decade in 2026: THE 90s! WOOT! JL and Kelly lived it, and they are reminiscing through some good ole trivia. It's SO challenging to fit such a robust decade into one episode, so they may be back for moreeee. What's your favorite memory from the 90s?

Social media's Big Tobacco moment? Oh how meta!

The Naked Room — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 10:43:00 GMT

Last week in TNR, Kelly and JL got real about AI and the Analog Revolution ... and then the verdict came back on the Meta / YouTube case. Some folks are comparing this case to the Big Tobacco fallout back in the late 1990s. The ruling called out what we've known for a while now: tech addiction is real. JL and Kelly discuss their own relationships with social media going back to the godfather, AOL Instant Messenger (iykyk). Social media: the good, the bad and the (ugly) comparisons

I'll see your AI and raise you The Analog Revolution

The Naked Room — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 10:43:00 GMT

The conversation about AI is on everyone's lips right now, but with the push to automate more of our lives comes an interesting reaction ... tapping out and focusing on being less digital. JL and Kelly discuss how a large portion of humans are doing a deep re-evaluation about their connection to technology. The reaction is an uptick in the purchase of dumb phones and vinyl. And thanks(!!) Gen Z for buying so much film that Kodak was able to rise from the ashes! AI's not going anywhere, but analog is balancing the scales.

A convo with Ambra Hubert: Progressive overload, a TED Talk and celebrating softness

The Naked Room — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:43:00 GMT

This week in TNR, Ambra Hubert joins JL and Kelly for a conversation that celebrates risk taking, reinvention and the power of the wisdom gained from over four decades of life. Ambra discusses a trauma response that resulted in doing a TED Talk, the myriad ways in which she’s reinvented herself, her background in art, and how she’s rewiring her thinking from “it’s too late for me” to “I could still start a media empire if I want to!” This episode is a reminder that failure isn’t the end of the road — often it’s just the beginning of a new, much more aligned chapter … AND finally, can you change the way you perceive fear (and instead turn it into curiosity)?

JL and Kelly are at it again. In their last episode, the conversation around a fear of success entered the chat, so they decided to dissect that even further. If you had to choose where your bigger fear lies, is it in failing or succeeding? Self-sabotage often shows up in the most curious ways.

Kelly used to go non-verbal even just thinking about a microphone and a young, shy JL learned how to hitchhike in a pinch ...

2026: Trust your gut, shake your butt

The Naked Room — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 14:33:00 GMT

JL and Kelly dive into their own personal spirit guide: their own intuition. Everyone has one, and it's our most powerful tool. Think about a time when you really tapped in and it sent you the exact message that you needed, and how spot on it was. Though she speaks softly, she's always in there, and you can tap in anytime you want. Quiet your mind and go for a ride into the depths of your gut.

Call in or email to tell the ladies about a time that your intuition told you everything you needed to know!

A flightless bird, a furry moose and a wild mustang walk into a bar ...

The Naked Room — Wed, 24 Dec 2025 11:33:00 GMT

What up, roomies! Happy Christmas Eve from TNR! If you were hoping for a Christmas episode, TOUGH. JL and Kelly aren't going to talk about Christmas at all in this episode since they already gave Drunk Uncle Tony a dedication bonus shortie. No, this week, JL is giving Kelly some friend therapy and they are giving some well-deserved apologies to a demographic that they were surprised to see is listening to the show. They also dive into a hard-hitting discussion about what animal they would be. The fun truly never ends in TNR!

They explore what they are grateful for, Kelly dives into her dad's recent diagnosis, and JL gives sound advice to not live with any regrets.

The Naked Room — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:33:00 GMT

In this seventh installment of The Naked Room, Kelly and JL get heady as hell with conversations surrounding aging, death, and the ever so elusive afterlife. They share their thoughts around fear, and the importance of harnessing resilience in order to see it as a hill to climb, not a barrier. As always, The Naked Room invites YOU to come as you are -- we've got plenty of space for you, your baggage, and your fears. Let's jump in.

The Naked Room — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 10:33:00 GMT

This week, Kelly and JL crack wide open the taboo topic of ... periods. Tampon mishaps, accidents, the menstruation approved 1980s Buick Regal upholstery, first flow stories, and some hilariously ridiculous myths. We even hear from a few Naked Room pod listeners about their personal experiences. After listening, if you feel compelled to share your own story, we'd love to hear from you!

Sex, drugs, and juice boxes

The Naked Room — Wed, 22 Oct 2025 10:33:00 GMT

This week in The Naked Room, Kelly and JL share stories of realizing their purpose, guerrilla marketing for porn, societal-inflicted shame, and learning about the birds and the bees. Growing up in a small town, surrounded by very buttoned up traditional values and virtues had a heavy hand in turning JL into a child bride. Kelly lost her innocence very early on after a mysterious magazine arrived at her mom's house.

Saddle up! It's a journey! We hear Kelly's update on her @gaiaherbs libido pill-induced dreams, JL's fantasy of becoming a hobbit, and other tales from the teenage wasteland and stripped down den that is ... The Naked Room.

A freak accident, the female fairytale, and a phallic fallacy

The Naked Room — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 10:13:00 GMT

In this punchy-ass episode, Kelly and Jamie-Lynn discuss a whirlwind of topics from the hardwired female fairytale of a “perfect life”, a local house explosion, how unsettling but oddly relieving catastrophes can feel, and the age old tale of the hidden Little Mermaid weenie. Pull up your carpenter jeans, strap on your Jansport, and dive into the waters of womanhood and wangs with them. Do your best to keep up as they serve up an honest-to-goodness conversation complete with pure grade-A human intelligence, none of that fake sh*t.
