About this listen

This is a show about the moments that change us, fundamentally and forever. Each week, host Stephanie Wittels Wachs (Lemonada’s co-founder and award-winning queen of darkness and light) is sitting down with a new guest to explore happy/sad stories of survival, resilience and transformation. After three seasons of exploring the "last day" of people’s lives in an effort to understand mass epidemics, Steph was ready for a change herself. Some “last days” are hopeful. Some are tragic. But at the heart of every “last day” is also a new beginning. Laugh/cry with us.

  • Introducing: Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan
    May 15 2025

    We’re excited to introduce you to Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan, a new show from Lemonada Media.

    As Meghan, Duchess of Sussex builds out a business of her own, she’s getting advice and insights from a handful of amazing women who have scaled small ideas into successful companies. These fly-on-the-wall conversations will no doubt inspire anyone who’s interested in turning their own entrepreneurial dreams into a reality and anyone else who just wants to hear what really happens behind the scenes.

    In this inspiring and deeply honest conversation, Meghan and Reshma reconnect after first meeting years ago, when Girls Who Code was expanding into the UK. Now, they sit down to talk about the hard stuff: redesigning workplaces for women and how to make the hard choice to put your health (and yourself) before your work.

    After you listen, be sure to follow Confessions of a Female Founder wherever you get your podcasts, or head to: https://lemonada.lnk.to/confessionsofafemalefounderfd

  • Last Day Presents: “Alzheimer’s Changes Everything” (Squeezed Ep 6)
    Dec 11 2024

    Jessica Guthrie is squeezed. A decade ago, at 26 years old, Jessica unexpectedly became a caregiver for her mom, Constance, who is now living with late-stage Alzheimer’s. Over the years, Jessica has left behind a life in Texas, moved back home to Virginia, and quit her job to focus on caregiving full-time. While so much of her life is on hold, Jessica has gained a lot and found a powerful community of caregivers online.
