Fun, authentic conversations with the people who make the stuff we love — and the friends I’ve been lucky enough to make along the way. I’ve spent the past 20 years as a Hollywood producer having what’s known as “general meetings” — one-on-one sit-downs with actors, writers, and filmmakers. These personal and creative conversations have always been my favorite part of the job — the moments when the glossy version of Hollywood drops away and you connect with the real person across from you. So now, I’m bringing that to life as a podcast. Each week on General Meeting with Becky Sloviter , I sit down with smart, funny, and talented friends — actors and writers who have made us laugh and cry, and filmmakers who inspire us — for real conversations about creativity, connection, and everything in between. My hope is that these chats will help us all feel a little more connected — and a little less alone. Because we’re all going through it these days — but as the iconic Penny Lane says in my third favorite movie of all time: “Famous people are just more interesting.” Welcome to General Meeting with Becky Sloviter.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T16:21:08.728568+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602"},"episode":{"title":"I Mom So Hard: Kristin Hensley & Jen Smedley: On Motherhood, Female Friendship and the Importance of Keeping It Real","slug":"i-mom-so-hard-kristin-hensley-jen-smedley-on-motherhood-female-friendship-and-the-importance-of-keeping-it-real","published_at":"2026-07-14T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602/i-mom-so-hard-kristin-hensley-jen-smedley-on-motherhood-female-friendship-and-the-importance-of-keeping-it-real","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/general-meeting-with-becky-sloviter-7468602","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/ed1b88bd-e6cc-41e2-971d-6c3cc9d0aa8b.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/ed1b88bd-e6cc-41e2-971d-6c3cc9d0aa8b.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"It's women supporting women on a very special episode this week as Becky is joined by comedians, influencers and New York Times bestselling authors Kristin Hensley & Jen Smedley — also known as the hilarious creators and stars of 'I Mom So Hard'. Kristin and Jen take Becky back to their Nebraska roots and ultimate meet-cute after a Hollywood improv show, before sharing the genesis of what initially prompted them to launch their web series 10 years ago, and how 'I Mom So Hard' has since evolved into a robust community for women — complete with bestselling books, live shows around the country, and a wildly successful podcast. With their trademark delightful candor, Kristin and Jen talk about letting go of the idea of perfect motherhood, the inspiring power of female friendship, the gains that can only come from hard work and hustle, and why mom's are just f**ing tough (spoiler alert: no other choice).
