I could have talked to Caitlin Crosby all day. She’s the founder of The Giving Keys, which turns old keys into little reminders like faith, worthy, and rise while employing people transitioning out of homelessness. We talk about loving our flaws, how a jewelry side hustle at her merch table outsold her CDs, and what it’s like when life blows up right after your biggest high. Stay for the Full Reveal, where we answer your questions about breakups and bodyguards (yes, really).

Valerie's guest this week is Tetyana Denford, the writer and author behind the "nobody cares" movement that's taken over Instagram — and quickly took over Valerie's algorithm too. Valerie is joined by co-host Mackenzie Phillips for this one, and together they dig into Tetyana's philosophy, which sounds blunt at first but is really a permission slip: stop performing, stop bracing for judgment that mostly isn't coming, and get comfortable with being a little uncomfortable.

Valerie sits down with Jordan Catapano, co-founder of This Girl Walks Into a Bar, to talk mocktails, motherhood, and building a business from the ground up. What started as a book for women learning to bartend turned into a line of organic, low-sugar cocktail mixers — made to taste just as good without the alcohol.Jordan opens up about walking away from a failed screenwriting career, running the business alongside her sister, raising two kids through it all, and rebuilding after losing her home in the Palisades Fire. It's honest, funny, and full of the kind of resilience Valerie's Home Cooking fans have come to expect from Getting Naked.🍹 Want to see Valerie and Jordan actually make the drinks? The Full Reveal — live mocktail-making, garnish tricks, and more — is exclusive to Valerie's Place members.
