Episode 181: Meghan Heffern on ‘Sex/Life’
Sex/Life has basically lived in the Netflix Top 10 since it first hit the streaming service in June 2021. The eight-part dramatic series tells the story of Billie (Sarah Shahi), a married mom living a sweet life in Connecticut who begins to fantasize about her hot ex-boyfriend after the birth of her second child. She writes all of her sexy memories down in a journal, and one day, the line between her sexy past and stable-but-boring present blur when she comes face to face with her ex and he’s, 1, still hot, and, 2, still hot for her. What sets Sex/Life apart from other steamy streaming series is that it’s about more than sex. It’s about the relationship that women have to sex, their identity as sexual beings, and what can happen to those needs when the monotony of life gets in the way. Is it possible to have it all with one person? Sabrina talks through the nuances of Sex/Life with actress Meghan Heffern (UnREAL, Wynnona Earp, How to Buy a Baby) who portrays Caroline, a fellow mom who Billie meets through her son’s preschool. Meghan speaks about Sex/Life, her life, and the process of bringing this hot and multi-faceted story to the screen. Also: #Earpers! Swimming with humpback whales in Tonga! How Hanson (of MMMBop fame) impacted her acting career!
