This season dives into real conversations about health, aesthetics & plastic surgery to break down stigma & give women the knowledge to make confident choices.
I remember looking out at the crowd during our live taping last season & seeing everyone so locked in. That's when I thought to myself 'more people need better answers.' That's the goal of season 2.”

COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, August 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- After a breakout first season, "Asking For A Friend" is back for Season 2. Donaldson’s signature podcast returns to demystify women’s health, aesthetic treatments and plastic surgery in a way that’s honest, educational and refreshingly transparent.
What began as a local project has grown into a global platform, with more than 165,000 people listening and watching from around the world.
“It’s about time we had honest conversations about the challenges we face as women. Let's talk about the things we’ve kept to ourselves for too long,” says Asking For A Friend host Carrie Esposito. “There’s no shame in wanting answers.”
Season 2 takes a deeper dive into the topics women are Googling behind closed doors and scribbling into medical intake forms — from plastic surgery and Botox treatments to gut health, mental health, and menopause.
Each episode of Asking For A Friend is rooted in the real, unfiltered questions asked in exam rooms every single day, with many inquiries submitted directly by listeners.
“We’re not here to sensationalize. We’re here to be the doctors in the room, but with a glass of wine not too far away,” says Esposito.
What To Expect This Season
Each episode blends education with empathy, offering digestible insights on complex topics like hormone fluctuations, sexual health, aesthetic trends and the science behind aging. Season 2 also covers the emotional weight many women carry: the pressure to look good, feel good and be everything to everyone, all at once.
You’ll hear frank, funny and medically-backed discussions about:
What to really expect from Botox and filler
Why your gut might be impacting your mood
How to advocate for your health at your next doctor's appointment
Navigating post-pregnancy body changes
The positive mental and physical impact of breast augmentation surgery
The truth about medical weight loss and all those supplements you seen on your feed
Finding confidence in perimenopause, menopause and beyond
“We want to have that upfront conversation, even if it’s tough and not exactly what you want to hear,” Adrienne Yanich, APRN says. “I like to talk about what treatments and products work, but don’t be shocked if you also hear me say, ‘Save your money, girl.’”
