Sophie Kneebone...yes she has wonderfully interesting as her name sounds. I met Sophie because she works for my awesome podcast hosting company, OmnyStudio www.omnystudio.com. And through talking with her, I found out that she is a true beacon of curiosity, creativity, and comedy. I love that most of Sophie's passions in life, involve figuring stuff out that she intitally knows nothing about. That's some fearlessness, sugars! Find all things Sophie at Omny Studios's website or on twitter @ Sop...

Mandy Rausch is theater friend I knew in college who was the girl you thought was a goodie goodie, and then at one theater party she ends up winning a keg contest and being the life of the show! I asked Mandy to be on the show because as a mother I really appreciate her honesty and how wonderful and hard parenting is. We need more of that y'all. This was a fun show...AND Mandy tells a great story about Jake Anthony! Follow Mandy on Twitter @feminartist and Insta @feminartistry And as always,...

Brian Drury is more beautiful on the inside than he is out the outside--and THAT'S saying something sugars! Brian truly has a confidence that I WISH I had when I graduated college. You know that freaked out feeling you had when you graduate from Undergrad and you basically wanted to pee your pants because you had NO IDEA of what to do--Brian's mission is to help you with that. He's the host of a great great great podcast Overcoming Graduation and he is just all heart. Like seriously, I just wa...

If I lived closer to Rhoda Mills Sommer, I would have her as my couples therapist in a heartbelt. She's fun, smart, and has a great tell it like it us type of mentality. She's just real--but she also doesn't judge you. She's like that Aunt you had you wouldn't let things slide one bit, but you know loved you with all her heart. That was sitting down with Rhoda for me. She also has a great great great GREAT podcast about couples therapy, WHAT HEALTHY COUPLES KNOW THAT YOU DON'T. I really love i...

Dalisa Hocking is no joke y'all. Well actually she is very funny but she's the real deal--a medium!!! Yes!

Meg Le Vu (I love saying her name!), is the host of GET IN THE LAB, a youtube series that she loves doing to help people across the world get their message out on web video. Put simply, Meg is a do-gooder, kinda like me so I think we bonded about that. This was a fun quick show I taped in a hallway at a podcast convention--I've done WORSE in hallways, sugars! Find all things Meg at: http://getinthelab.me/ Also, on Wed. June 27th my good friend Dawn McCoy is launching her OWN PODCAST, called Din...

We might at an acting class and as SOON as I heard that laugh and her sing a bit of a showtune--I knew we would be besties.

You know how you have that ONE friend who will never make fun of you for geeking out so hard? That is Jessie Evans. She's an actor (a real good one, in fact) and we met on a Target commercial years ago. Yes the commercial where I sang with Justin Timberlake. We both love him, like omg, so much. That said Jessie and I also get THANKFULLY sidetracked by your questions, and with our mutual love of musical theater, and Harry Potter. So I thought this episode would be PERFECT this week with the Tony...

Another Marr on the Dear Mattie Show! Yes, although I feel like Peter Marr got all the talent in the family. He. Is. So. Funny. Peter does stand up all over the country and he does some of the best impressions I have ever seen in my whole life for real. This is such a fun episode with some great heart to it. I love my cuz!!! For all things Peter go to www.petermarr.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

JP Karliak is soft spoken, intelligent, and just plain ol' classy. I know, the OPPOSITE OF me! Yes we are friends in real life, but it was also fascinating to get to know him as a artist. Especially listening to his Voice Over work, it's SHOCKING how incredible he is at transforming his voice into a cavalcade of characters. Believe me, you've heard his voice, either in video games, cartoons, animated films, or on the radio. Basically he's been in your house. (Wait, that sounded creepy). Find a...

As many of you have seen on social media, April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). That's why I felt it was important to take a departure from the typical Dear Mattie Show and discuss the epidemic of rape in our country-and our world for that matter. Susan's survival of her own rape is compelling and her desire to help others is inspiring. I hope you enjoy this episode and that hopefully you hear some tips we discuss to keep yourself safe. NOTE: This episode is for adults only and if you ...

I know. Isn't that the cuttest family ever? That's Jackie and her beautiful family. I met Jackie--through the podcast. No really. She was a listener who found my show but we've been in contact and now I feel like we've been friends since middle school. She's a young mom who admits she does NOT having all together, and by sharing her story of navigating through motherhood and being a wife, she has developed a loyal following of people who love her. This show just made my heart happy because at th...

Misty is just a bada**. That's pretty much it. Don't get me wrong-she's very sweet and kind too. She's inspiring to me though because she has been bullied all her life for her weight and yet she's used that pain and turned it into strength, and is now a force of love. A force of love that loves crafting. Misty and I grew up in the same small Oklahoma town, so it's wonderful to reconnect and see one another thriving. We talk a good amount about fat shaming, get your finances in order and paying o...

Claire Tanner is a film nerd, so already we clicked. She reminds me of an artistic investigative reporter. She loves hearing how film makers actually get their projects off the ground. So I already love her for her curiosity but I also loved how open and honest Claire is about her self, what's she's learned and what she's still working on. You know how you meet a stranger and then you have a great heart to heart and realize you're connected to a person in some way? Well, that's exactly how I fel...

Yes...I know. This picture has NOTHING to do with Karamo Brown the intellectual, funny, charming host that you see on your TV. It pretty much just shows that he's really friggin' hot. I mean...And God Made Man, sugars! But really, I do love having Karamo on the show because it's like having Oprah/Dr. Phil/Cookie Lion (Empire) all on the same show. He does NOT hold back on his answers, but it's all said with love. I will have this handsome soul back for sure. Find all things Karamo at: http://ww...

As you know, I've been obsessed with being a TV host since I was a kid. And even in my youth, I've always thought Paul Gilmartin was a great host. His first hosting claim to fame was TBS's Dinner and a Movie. He was always so funny, likable, and self deprecating. In 2011, Paul launched The Mental Illness Happy Hour Podcast. This hilarious show takes on the gravity of mental illness, but with a lightness and camaraderie that makes it so relatable and good. It's a show that I am crying from being ...

You know how you walk into a room, with a bunch of people you don't know and you feel scared, intimidated and just wanna leave? Well, Joe Pardo is that fella that meets you with a smile and hug and before you actually can walk back out that door. He makes sure you know--you belong. He's just....the....NICEST. It was joy to have him on the show. Joe is a motivational speaker, podcaster, author, DJ, and Disney fan. If you are looking to try something new this year or fulfill a dream, THIS IS THE S...

I meet Erin Lillis years ago because of two things: our shared love of karaoke and our love of Disneyland. Well, Erin more than just loves it, she CONSUMES it. She knows everything there is to know about Disneyland. And well, that's just Erin Lillis. When this gal is interested in something, she devours that knowledge like a demeantor takes your soul...except I think she's way less scary. Erin was one of the first people to encourage me to do a podcast and I could not be prouder to say that her...

I love it when a gal creates smart, funny, and empowering things that women can relate to. I know, I'm NOT a woman, but boy, we gay men love it. That's exactly what writer and producer Jamie Slater has done with Travel Boobs, a fantastic new web-series that will launch in the spring. For realz y'all-it's funny. Jamie casts my lovely friend Megan Heyn (Dear Mattie Ep. 33) and the savagely sweet Louise Bond. Yes, I know. She's British and her last name is Bond. Amazing. These three are superb as t...

I know this picture is years old but it's the only picture I have of myself and Jake Anthony, aka Poodle, at the holidays. YES! IT'S A HOLIDAY SHOW! And we're dishing out some holiday etiquette advice--what do you expect from two Southern Queens?! And other topics include: What is the best way to deal with bullies at work? How do I tell my over-bearing mother-in-law to back off? This episode is truly Poodle and I at are most finest, holiday sisterly-squabbling selves. (And I'm sure he would hav...

Doing stand-up, I've meet people who are just naturally funny people and then I know others who aren't the funniest people, but write a damn good joke. Jackie is both of these things. Her warmth, humor, and incredible self deprecating style are the reason why I wanted to have her on the show. I just laughed my face off in this episode. And I kinda just want to have coffee with her at least once a week just to remember there are awesome people in the world. PLEASE listen to her podcast, the Dork...
