EPISODE BREAKDOWN
[LISTEN AGAIN] Did Life Turn Out The Way You Thought It Would? [Christina Applegate]
Jen and Cat sit down for an unforgettable two-part conversation with the one and only Christina Applegate. Did life turn out the way you thought it would? This question sparks a deeply honest and beautifully raw conversation—about life, grief, identity, and what happens when everything changes. From Jen and Christina reminiscing about the days of filming Samantha Who? to a chat about what it really means to face a life that you didn’t see coming. Christina opens up about navigating her MS diagnosis, dealing with the rage, the grief—in such an honest way that is so refreshing that it gives not only her permission to just be, but others as well. That is living rebelliously with all the glory, the joy and the anger. That’s why Christina will always be one of our favorite rebels.

ABOUT REBEL[LIOUS]
We’re tackling the world’s biggest issues... with absolutely no plan to solve them.

Each week, we dig into culture—how it shapes us, traps us, and tells us who we’re supposed to be—as artists and as humans, just trying to make it through.
We question everything, laugh a lot, offer unsolicited advice, and when it gets too heavy?
We dance it out.
No answers. Just honesty, rebellion, and a little joy in the chaos.
Hosts- @JenniferEsposito and @CatYezbak
Producers- Naomi Hogarty, Jennifer Esposito, Cat Yezbak and Sarah De Donato

![The Power of Storytelling
On this episode of REBEL[LIOUS] Jen and Cat have the privilege to talk with Anna Malaika Tubbs, two-time New York Times bestselling author and multidisciplinary expert on current & historical understandings of race, gender, and equity. We cover a LOT - the complete definition of American patriarchy, the mothers who raised civil rights icons, how absolutely everything comes back to storytelling — for us as individuals and for entire nations, and so much more… We were too absorbed in the conversation to take the time to dance but what we lacked in dance we definitely gained in hope!
