1 Amy Schumer & Brianne Howey on the Importance of Female Friendships, Navigating Hollywood's Double Standards, Sharing Their Birth Stories, and MORE 50:05
This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

×In this lesson, you'll learn how to use the words you DON'T KNOW to get the right answers ! It's a difficult Academic Reading Part 3 , which contains several scientific terms that might cause confusion. But I will show you how IELTS uses these words for gapfills, and you'll learn the 6 'triggers' that indicate the answer. Get the full video lesson in the Bronze Membership on my website, and in the full Members Academy. https://ieltsetc.com/ielts-tips-and-tricks/ Reading Summary Music is a powerful force that affects our emotions. When we listen to music we love, our body reacts—our heartbeat increases, and our muscles receive more blood. Scientists have found that music directly influences the brain, especially by releasing dopamine , a chemical that makes us feel pleasure. A study in Canada used brain scans to examine why music has such a strong effect . Researchers found that dopamine is released both when we hear a beautiful part of a song and before it happens. This suggests that our brain enjoys the feeling of anticipation , or waiting for something exciting. The way music is structured also plays a role. If a song is too predictable , it is boring. Great composers, like Beethoven, create patterns in their music and then delay repeating them to build suspense . This delay makes the final moment of resolution much more emotional. A famous music expert, Leonard Meyer, explained that the emotions in music do not come from its connection to real-life experiences but from how it plays with our expectations . Our brain enjoys the mix of predictability and surprise, which keeps us engaged and emotionally connected to the music. Keywords: affects – Changes or influences something. reacts – Responds to something by changing in some way. anticipation – The feeling of excitement when waiting for something to happen. predictable – Easy to guess or expect. delay – To make something happen later than expected. suspense – A feeling of excitement or nervousness while waiting for something to happen. expectations – Beliefs about what will happen in the future. engaged – Focused and interested in something.…

This month, we've been exploring the huge topic of MONEY in the Members Academy. It comes up in ALL parts of the test, so in this lesson, we examine two very similar General Training Texts in order to learn more about the topic of government benefit systems and the allowances that you might be entitled to. Each country's benefit system is different, so it's really worth a listen as you'll learn valuable information and keywords. Get the video and full text with vocabulary list in the Bronze Academy on my website. https://ieltsetc.com/ielts-tips-and-tricks/…

In this lesson, we'll analyse a Part 1 Reading text with the purpose of improving our understanding and use of prepositions. First, we go through the True, False and Not Given questions, followed by the Gapfill questions and then we go back to the first paragraph to analyse the prepositions. This is something that I recommend you do regularly - spend 5-10 minutes 'noticing' language from real contexts like the Reading and Listening tests. In the lesson you'll learn how to do this yourself and build up your independent learning skills. The vocabulary from the lesson will also help you with Writing Task 1 (Describing a Natural Cycle). Get more help with Prepositions, and find my Preposition Workbook on my website: https://ieltsetc.com/ielts-grammar-complete-guide/prepositions/…

An alarming 62% of young adults report experiencing significant anxiety. A heartening 78% of volunteers say they feel more connected to their community. A disappointing 34% of students complete their language learning goals. An impressive 92% of renewable energy targets were met this year. A troubling 46% of food produced globally goes to waste.

In this lesson, you'll practise 3 reading question types while learning essential IELTS animal-related vocabulary items such as 'hibernation' and 'migration'. I also discuss differences between two summaries, which will help you use more formal language in the writing test e.g. to maintain fitness vs to stay fit . For example: (Advanced Summary) The article explores how animals maintain fitness differently from humans. Unlike humans, who need consistent training to prepare for endurance challenges like marathons, many animals maintain or even enhance their fitness without deliberate exercise . (Intermediate Summary) The article discusses how animals stay fit in different ways compared to humans. While humans need to exercise regularly to prepare for challenges like running a marathon, many animals stay fit without needing to train .
