Episode Overview

In her first episode back after a multi-year hiatus, Morgan Stewart reintroduces herself and lays out the purpose for this new chapter. Raw, emotional, and sharply funny, Morgan invites listeners into her recent tumultuous years—navigating motherhood, the loss of her father and brother, significant career changes, and finding authenticity outside the spotlight. The show, she says, is devoted to unfiltered truth, delivered with her trademark humor and candor. This episode is part origin story, part catharsis, part declaration: 2026 is the year of Morgan Stewart.

  • Deeply candid, Morgan shares the slow unraveling of her father’s health: misdiagnosis, aggressive cancer, and the emotional toll on her.

• Reconciling with Ongoing Grief
  • Starting the show without her father’s guidance is “tough… it’s just something that’s very real. It’s important this goes well because I know he’s definitely helping facilitate all of this stuff behind the scenes.” (39:23–39:50)

8. Parenting and Everyday Life

• Kindergarten Applications and LA School Culture
  • Morgan details the absurdity of LA’s private school admissions for young children, complete with interviews, donations, and parental involvement.

  • Shares her daughter’s fashion critique: “She basically told me that was my style and I have bad style. Oh. And I said, no, sweetie. Everybody likes mommy's style.” (42:32)

“This is the place to do it. So if that’s what you guys are into, hopefully you come back and we’ll do that together.” (Morgan, 45:02)

Okay, now let's get into it. Oh, my God, you guys. The day is finally here. I get to welcome you, finally, after months and months and months of planning and plotting to the Morgan Stewart Show.

Woo hoo. Everybody. Say hi to Judith. Judith. Say hi to everybody. Judith is gonna be with me every day. Every day. Every time we record from the moment we met, I felt like it was an instant connection.

[Judith Cargbo]

Absolutely.

[Morgan Stewart]

We're gonna go into this very quickly. I'm Gemini. Virgo Rising. Judith is Virgo Sun. Yeah, we don't know Judith's Virgo or her Rising.

[Judith Cargbo]

No, because it wasn't on my birth certificate for some reason. I don't know Brooklyn, New York. They don't care.

[Morgan Stewart]

No, no. That's an entire episode. You can't just throw that on me five minutes in.

[Judith Cargbo]

That's true. I have to go. When I looked at it, there was, like, no time on there. They were like, you were just here.

[Morgan Stewart]

You have no time of birth. Mm.

[Judith Cargbo]

Mm.

[Morgan Stewart]

That's illegal.

[Judith Cargbo]

Probably. I have to look into it.

[Morgan Stewart]

Yeah, we really need to because we need to know the whole chart. But anyway, point is, is that I knew this was gonna be an easy meshing of two. It is important to me to start this episode off explaining to you guys why I'm doing this show. What has transpired? I think I'm somebody that is almost allergic to repeating themselves, which is funny because I repeat myself about everything all the fucking time. But I Feel like. Because over the last three years, since my last project, and I'll go in chronological order, there's been tidbits and little pieces of information online. Right. Whether that's via my TikTok or I'm posting things on Instagram, or I'm posting little blurbs and stuff, you know, so people have heard different versions of. Of what's kind of gone on based on the things that I have shared, if they've been following along. And number one, I wanna take a moment to say I am so incredibly proud of the fact that I have a show called the Morgan Stewart Show. I wanna take a beat on that.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Everything I have ever done has either been Rich kids of Beverly Hills. There was Nightly Pop, there was Daily Pop. What? The fashion. I've always been a part of something that has not been solely focused on me. And that's crazy. I never thought it was gonna be in the format of a podcast. No Shade. I always thought it was gonna be a television show. But here we are. And I feel like the bits and pieces I listen to, I just wanna be very open and honest about why we're here, what has happened.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. So I'm gonna take you back into time.

[Judith Cargbo]

Let's go.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. Should I take my gum out?

[Judith Cargbo]

Sure. I will do it too. You're not alone.

[Morgan Stewart]

I don't wanna take my gum out, guys. I wanna Britney Spears this shit all fucking day. I'm gonna take it out.

[Judith Cargbo]

I will join you.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. Morgan Stewart Show. Welcome. I'm so happy you're here. I hope you come back every single week. We are gonna figure this show out together. I don't know exactly what I have planned. I just know that I don't want it to be like any other podcast you're listening to. And as somebody who does not listen to podcasts, I hope that I make you proud. Okay, let's go back in time.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yes.

[Morgan Stewart]

Let's track the last three years.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. October 2022. I googled it yesterday. Cause I had no idea, no idea when this happen. Nightly Pop was canceled. I guess we should go back even further than that.

[Judith Cargbo]

Okay.

[Morgan Stewart]

I told you I'm bad at math.

[Judith Cargbo]

It's all good.

[Morgan Stewart]

So to give you a little history on me if you are new and some if. If your wife is making you listen to this. Hi. There's video too. And I'll wear skimpier shirts as we go on. But basically started on E. Doing Rich kids in Beverly Hills for four seasons. Okay. That ended 2016, 2017. I started working At E. I did a show called Daily Pop. I did a show called Nightly Pop. I did a show called what the fashion. And I did a show called Necessary Realness. So she was booked. And bus bitch fucking busy, busy making four bucks. Not even a free muffin in sight. I said, there's no free breakfast at this motherfucking spot. This is crazy. Okay. So then I did that for five years. Covid hits. Okay. They're like, go home for two weeks. We'll be back. We were not back for a year.

[Judith Cargbo]

Right.

[Morgan Stewart]

I was also simultaneously going through a separation and then divorce. At this time. I was also reuniting with my now husband, who was my ex boyfriend from when I was 21 turning 22. We lived together for a year. We separated. We went on to have other relationships. We had no contact. I saw his parents throughout the years. It was one of those situations I never expected to be back married, back together in general.

[Judith Cargbo]

Wow.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. So then Covid hits. He and I get back together. We moved to Malibu.

[Judith Cargbo]

Okay.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. Moved to Malibu. We're playing house, drinking, making weird home cooked pies. I don't know all the shit you were doing in Covid. I don't know. Drinking. Did I mention drinking? Drinking and fucking was all we were doing the whole time. So when you do that, you get pregnant. Yeah. So we were in Malibu. We were having fun. It was my birthday in May, I get pregnant in May, I find out in June I'm pregnant. This is 2021. 21.

[Judith Cargbo]

Okay.

[Morgan Stewart]

Gave birth.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Then I went back to work at E. Okay. And I was then pregnant very soon into me working at E. Again.

[Judith Cargbo]

Was that necessary? Unnecessary realness.

[Morgan Stewart]

So I was doing all those shows, Nightly pop, daily pop, necessary realness, everything. They had me grinding, grinding. It was amazing, but it was a lot. So I gave birth to my first kid February 2021. And then I gave birth to my second kid, 2022, February, back to back. So a year and a day later and four months after. And this is where kind of things, I think start to take shape. Four months after I gave birth to my daughter, I had a girlfriend come over. She brought her son over for a playdate. And I remember sitting at my kitchen bar and I completely had faded away from myself in a way that I had never experienced. I will never forget that feeling. I was disoriented. I didn't know what was happening. It was almost like I had a hot rush of hot air go down my whole body. And I like. I just didn't know what was going on my husband's like, oh, you need a Coca Cola. You're having a sugar crash. My friend came over. I remember sitting with her in my. In my playroom, and I was having such immense physical anxiety. I had never experienced this before in my life. And it's not something I would wish on my worst enemy. I couldn't settle. I couldn't settle. I couldn't calm down. I didn't know what was going on. Cut to. That was March, June. I'm in Napa. I'm still feeling these. These exact symptoms. I'm not back to work yet. I'm just starting to get back to work. I'm actually going to work the week later.

[Judith Cargbo]

Wow.

[Morgan Stewart]

So I'm in Napa. I'm scheduled to go back from mat leave a week later after Napa. I'm sitting with my husband, my two best friends, and the whole weekend, physically, just almost like I'm having some sort of withdrawal from amphetamines. I couldn't sit still. It was the worst thing ever. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Finally, I get back, I get blood work done. Turns out I am pregnant again.

[Judith Cargbo]

Oh, my. Those were because you were pregnant?

[Morgan Stewart]

No, I was pregnant, but I was also. So I was literally weeks pregnant. And I also had a massive thyroid disorder. Like, everything had basically plummeted. You know when you go to the state fair. I've never been to the state fair. Why. Why am I talking about this? Neither have I. What the fuck? But when you go and you hit the temperature thing to make it, you know, like in the 90s, like, when you're in Greece. Has anyone seen fucking Greece?

[Judith Cargbo]

How strong you are.

[Morgan Stewart]

You hit that and goes up. So that was my thyroid. It went up, got stuck, and went back down. So I was out of my mind.

[Judith Cargbo]

That's crazy.

[Morgan Stewart]

Went back to work a week later. The guy was like, there's nothing. I saw a doctor. He's like, there's nothing you can do. You basically just have to write out these symptoms and your thyroid's going to level out. Yeah, that was sort of correct. Sort of not correct. Had to go on medication. Went back to work. Had to stop working two weeks after that because I was physically not okay. Worked until October.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yes.

[Morgan Stewart]

I had gray in February of 2022.

[Judith Cargbo]

Wow.

[Morgan Stewart]

So basically feel awful. I'm pregnant again on thyroid medication. Go back to work at E. Have him in February. Shows get canceled in 2022 of October. October of 2022.

[Judith Cargbo]

Okay.

[Morgan Stewart]

So at that point, I am relieved. I need a break. I Had been exhausted. I was doing a live show five days a week for five years. I went into another live to tape show an hour after that, and then two of the days of the week, I would film Nightly Pop and Necessary Realness. So I was doing four shows a day at one point.

[Judith Cargbo]

So even after that, there wasn't really a break for you there.

[Morgan Stewart]

What? After the shows got canceled, I had that break and I needed that break. I was newly postpartum two times in a row. They are literally one year to the day. My thyroid had completely bottomed out. I was taking quite a bit of medication again. I had never been sick prior to having kids. I'd never had a cold. I never had a broken bone. There was nothing ever wrong acclimating to not feeling good. And I remember just having these two young kids. I obviously had help, but I was destroyed. My hair was completely gone. It was bald to the point where I didn't even like realize how bad it was. And I look back at photos. I mean, I had literally no hair. And this all happens in the midst of my dad being diagnosed with cancer. So it's like even now I'm like, whew. So he had had. It was cancer, but it was being managed by steroids for two years. And then shortly after Gray, I think, was born, he was at Ro's first birthday and then at the kids first and second birthdays and that was the last birthday. But then post managing it through medication, it was fully like, okay, this is now spreading. We really have to do chemotherapy.

[Judith Cargbo]

Right.

[Morgan Stewart]

So I was already. I had two very small children, two back to back births. I had such a hormonal imbalance. I was not feeling like myself. I could barely drive down the street alone. I had such a panic disorder. I had nuts in my car. I had various snacks. I'd have to pull over all the time. I would literally have to be like deep breathing. It was like I was constantly on the verge of panic because my body was so off. Jordan had to meet me so many times on the side of the road. We had to start sharing locations, which is so not sexy. But I guess we had to do that. Yeah, because he had to come meet me. I was so out of it. Then my dad gets sicker and sicker and I don't know if anybody. How did your dad pass away?

[Judith Cargbo]

My dad passed away. No, a heart condition. But my mom passed away about 10 years from breast cancer.

[Morgan Stewart]

Sorry. It's the worst. So usually or typically when you get diagnosed with cancer, the doctor tells you, okay, you have X cancer. You have this type of cancer, and it's going to be. This is the prognosis. So we. My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma officially, and the doctor was like, this is the best cancer. This is the cancer you want to have. If you get cancer, this is the cancer. It's totally treatable. You will totally make it. There's no problem. It's just like a lymphatic cancer. And, like, it's. It's easy to manage.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah. Also, rating cancer is crazy.

[Morgan Stewart]

It was crazy.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

But we were very optimistic. We were really happy. Jordan's dad was really helpful in getting us the doctor. Very treatable. We had the best doctor in the world. I was sort of coming back together or trying to figure out how to get back to a new normal post all these kids feeling all these different feelings. And he does a round of chemo. We go back in to do a test or a scan, and my mom and I were like, this is. We are not these people that deal with cancer. We don't die from cancer. His mom had died from cancer at 53. But, like, my dad was already 78 at this point. And something that I had always thought about with my d.

[Judith Cargbo]

What just came in?

[Morgan Stewart]

I don't know. It's just crazy to talk about this, like, for real.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah. That's what happens when you come out on your own and really stand on your brand. Because what you're doing is being vulnerable.

[Morgan Stewart]

Yeah.

[Judith Cargbo]

You know what I mean? And it's scary. So thank you.

[Morgan Stewart]

I knew it would happen, but it's always like, oh, there's. Oh, they're bringing Kleenex in. So dramatic. But it's because I've moved fast through this so much that now to sit down and kind of walk through it for real.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Is. I mean, I literally pay my therapist thousands of dollars a month. I don't cry with that bitch, ever. I have one podcast episode, and I'm like, if Obama speaks or I'm doing a podcast, I'm like, balling. If there's a dead cat, I can't handle it. But, like, hours of therapy, I can't. I.

[Judith Cargbo]

Whatever seems appropriate.

[Morgan Stewart]

Seems appropriate. We go in for the scan and everything is not good. Yeah, it's all over the place. And very shortly after that scan, the doctor basically says, literally, oh, this is actually T cell lymphoma. It's not like your normal, average lymphoma. So now we have a rare blood cancer that we are dealing with that we had no idea this wasn't like you have lymphoma and it's spread to your brain. This is like, oh, you have a different type of lymphoma than we thought. So then the next year and a half becomes chemotherapy. I am physically not well. I don't feel safe in my body. I don't feel stable. I can't treat myself. I'm becoming sort of my own version of a sick person. Nothing made me feel better. And everyone's like, oh, your dad's sick? And I was like, yes, but this is not that. Like, there's. There's a combination of things happening. And then he obviously got sicker and sicker. But then, for some reason, we still didn't think that he was going to die. And I think for me, personally, because my dad had me at 44. My parents are 10 years apart. I had always anticipated his death my entire life. I was like, he's older, but he. I mean, looking back now, he really wasn't that much older. Like, it's all within a range. But I was like, he. I was 16, he was 60. And I was like, he's gonna die of a heart attack. Like, something's gonna happen where he's just gonna be gone one day.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

The fact that we had made it to 78. Healthy, spry, so mentally with it, so athletic. Straight up. I mean, was walking straight up through chemo, and he was disintegrating.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

There were rashes all over his body. I remember they prescribed the wrong blood pressure medication at night, he. Bunch of times. It was the most horrific thing to see.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And it was really tough because. Sorry.

[Judith Cargbo]

No, take your time.

[Morgan Stewart]

I never expected that to be the reality.

[Judith Cargbo]

Right.

[Morgan Stewart]

Like, I thought, oh, you're. You're 80 years old. You're not dying from a rare blood cancer.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Like, you should have done this 10 years ago if we were dying. Right. So he dies, and it was horrific. It's still horrific. And it's not something that I. I find death to be extremely inconvenient.

[Judith Cargbo]

Annoying.

[Morgan Stewart]

It's annoying, yes. You're dying on my fucking time. Are you joking? My kids are not even five years old.

[Judith Cargbo]

So much to live, so much to see.

[Morgan Stewart]

So much to see. I'm not even that famous yet. You know what I mean?

[Judith Cargbo]

Like, rude.

[Morgan Stewart]

Rude. Fucking rude pisses me off. And he knows it. Cause we talk a lot. But I think that the reason why I wanted to get into this backstory is, you know, I wasn't ready to take on a project.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And a year and a half ago, or two years ago now, I guess I shot a pilot that I pitched. I could not sit still, still. I was not feeling well. I wasn't ready energetically to take that on. I pitched it out to everybody. Everybody was like, oh, we love you so much. But blah, blah, blah. And I was like, oh, okay. And looking back, I couldn't have taken that on. If everyone would have said yes, we would have had to shut down production. I would not have been able to continue on working.

[Huntington Bank Commercial Voice]

Is your money doing everything it can for you? Like automatically pushing more of your money to savings every day?

[Morgan Stewart]

I don't think so.

And so then the last year, I'm starting to feel better. Everything's. I'm starting to find my way back to myself.

[Judith Cargbo]

Good.

[Morgan Stewart]

And I go out of town this last summer and then my brother unexpectedly drops dead. And for those of you who don't know, my brother was a paranoid schizophrenic. We have different dads. So he has been sick basically from. He's seven years older than me. So he's been sick for the majority of my life. We found out when he was a teenager, like 19, 20, something like that. And that is something my mom has really had to deal with because I mean, he's very ill. There's voices or there was voices in his head that he needed to kill himself. I mean, it was the most horrific thing you can go through. So we've had two of the most horrific realities. And I think that people associate me so much with like humor and light and wealth and there's just like a lot more to my reality than I think people realize. And I talked about this on rich kids a little bit. But really, like life has really come at me in the last three years in a way that I think most people would be heavily medicated.

[Judith Cargbo]

Oh, absolutely.

[Morgan Stewart]

You know, I'm like getting up Every day I'm trying my best. I'm raising two children. I have a wonderful husband, but it has been a fuckload. And as somebody who has been, or I thought at least I'm pretty resilient. I get through things, I move through stuff. And I said this to you last time. I've always been somebody that, like, has recognized how fortunate they are. And I've been hyper privileged, whether that be through financial stuff or my parents have always been. I had two people who were in love with each other, in love with me, supported me through every single thing. And I wasn't always together. I mean, from 22 to 26, I was like, what the. What am I doing? I had no job, I had no purpose. They were concerned. And then I wrote a blog called Boobs and Loops. And anyway, so it has been a really long journey. I genuinely feel like the last three months I have finally felt like my new self. Yeah, I don't need to eat food every 45 minutes. I was. No, but it was bad. I was. Felt like I had to eat or I was gonna die. I was gonna have a full panic. But, yeah, so. And I'm going out of order here. But my brother was. Had schizophrenia. He lived in a facility in Switzerland, which. If you're gonna have schizophrenia, you wanna live in Switzerland. It's so chic. Okay. Gorgeous. It's like in the middle of the country. I mean, it's. What the fuck else do you need? Anyway, he was. And then he had pneumonia. And I remember my mom calling me. I had just gotten to Tuscany for my summer break. So again, it was like, just to, like, get to like, a little bit of, you know, solitude and like, relaxation. My mom called me and she's like, oh, I have bad news. Oliver has. Has pneumonia. And I. I just remember vividly feeling like something came into my mind. I was like, die or is he gonna die? I hope he doesn't. Something. I had never had this thought. I had always thought throughout my entire life, my parents will pass away, his dad will pass away, and I will have to take care of him and make sure he's sorted. I always thought that was gonna be my responsibility to take on once everyone had gone or passed away. And she called me in the middle of the night on the last night of my vacation. We were traveling from Tuscany to Zurich. She was in Zurich with my kids and our nanny. And she said Oliver died screaming. I was like, this is less than two years after my dad. So now my mom has lost her husband and her only Son.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. This bitch is still getting dressed every day. She's getting up every day. She's. I have no idea how she has managed to continue on.

[Judith Cargbo]

Just resilient.

[Morgan Stewart]

It is. It's something like I've never seen before. I mean, she really, like, still lives her life. And she's in pain. Yeah, she's in pain every day. And I think about my dad every day and my brother every day. But I really try to just continue on. And so the point of that entire backstory was I was not ready to do anything. And my agent has said for multiple years, he was like, you need to do podcasts. I was like, I'm never gonna do a podcast. Everyone can do a podcast. Podcasts are accessible and they're easy. And let me tell you, they're not. And I'm a television star and I need to be on tv. And that's my kids destiny. And he was right. And so this came together very naturally.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yes.

[Morgan Stewart]

And I had taken a lot of meetings, and to me, it was serious from the beginning. That is not a plug, trust me. And I feel ready for this next chapter of connecting with my audience that is still around.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And, you know, connecting hopefully with new people. I think we've talked a lot about what this show is, and I think this show is just going to find itself. We're gonna talk about pop culture, we're gonna talk about fashion, we're gonna talk about relationships. We're gonna talk about my personal life. We're gonna talk about my opinions about a lot of different things. And we're gonna have guests. I definitely do not want to have sort of your run of the mill PR guests. Like somebody that's promoting a movie or something. Like, you're doing five other shows. You're giving everyone basically the same answer. Like when they did the PR for or the press for Wicked.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Holy fucking goddamn.

[Judith Cargbo]

Although I did love that.

[Morgan Stewart]

I loved. And I love them, but, like, you know what I'm saying? I don't want my. I don't want my audience. I don't want you guys to come to this show every week and basically get a dialed in, phoned in version of something you've already seen. So whoever is gonna give us the best interview and whoever wants to come on and have a really authentic. That's the thing. I'm allergic to inauthenticity. And when people are like, I'm so unfiltered. You're the most filtered bitch on the planet. Stop playing in my fucking face. You are so Fake. So I just want to make sure that the show feels lively, fun, energetic. You learn something. I learned something. I feel like I do want to make a little bit of a pact with you guys right now. Like, I know what I said about ankle boots and I stand on it. I know what I said about wearing different shades of gray and I stand on it. But I just want to make sure that we're aligned and we're holding hands when I say this. I'm going to change my opinion on things sometimes. Things are gonna change. Things are gonna shift. I might like yellow one week. I love yellow. Judith. Judith and yellow. I might hate yellow next week. And I just want us to be open minded about things like that. Do you know what I mean?

[Judith Cargbo]

Absolutely.

[Morgan Stewart]

And I feel very excited and very ready to start this again. 2026 is definitely the year of Morgan Stewart, by the way. I just wanna also say I am done with my therapist.

[Judith Cargbo]

Why?

[Morgan Stewart]

Because I'm manipulating that bitch. Every week I am running, I tricks on this bitch. I am never crying. I'm never talking about all the massive death I've experienced.

[Judith Cargbo]

We should invite her here.

[Morgan Stewart]

I asked her. Oh, I did. I said, you should. She said, I'm not doing. I told you guys. I think she's a Pisces. And every single time I speak to somebody I have a hard time communicating with, they're Pisces.

[Judith Cargbo]

That is so funny.

[Morgan Stewart]

Can I tell you something? So my daughter was due 14 February Aquarius. We had her the 16th. My gynecologist was a Virgo. She was like, we are not going past 40 weeks. I was like, good. My son was due the 17th. So they were both Aquarius. And we induced on both. Because if we had not induced, they would have gone into the Pisces territory and no fucking way.

[Judith Cargbo]

And for those who are not astrologically educated, what does that mean?

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay, so. Well, to be honest, I don't really know what it means. All I know is this. I am a Gemini. My husband is a Libra. My kids are Aquarius. So we represent the air sign. So we're copacetic. We work together. We're a blenders. Thank you. If they were a Pisces. And by the way, I will say actually in real time, I have turned into liking Pisces a bit more. My assistant is a Pisces. We like her. She has a Gemini moon which is really carrying her personality. So I don't hold it against her. I do. Every time I interview somebody, I'm like, what's your Sign. And then I have a few friends now that if you're like a triple Pisces or if you have a lot of Pisces placement that works. If you're like a Pisces with Sagittarius, I. I don't want to. I don't like it. I don't like it. I don't want to talk to you about anything. I interviewed a girl last week for Wrangly, for a social girl because we need a girl to do the social media because mama has no time.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Mama's a podcast star.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Do you know what I mean? I mean, you're a mobile mother. I'm mobile mother fashion designer. Do we get like a sound effective clap or clock it?

[Judith Cargbo]

Clock it, Clark it kids. Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Yeah. By the way, we're turning back into 2016. I remember when I was filming rich kids, I went to Nanjing, China. We did an episode, we shot there and this like 102 year old man came up to me and grabbed my hand and was like, you are never gonna have to worry about money.

[Judith Cargbo]

And you know, he spoke the truth.

[Morgan Stewart]

He spoke the truth. He didn't tell me my whole family was gonna die.

[Judith Cargbo]

He left a little bit of important information out.

[Morgan Stewart]

But can I also tell you something that I have really been thinking about too? You never. I told you, two came in and two went the fuck out. Yeah, I'm pissed. But I have a really good medium and he's been really amazing. And I've had two dreams from my brother and from my dad, and that's a visitation. But you never reach a huge level of success unless you have experienced life altering trauma.

[Judith Cargbo]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

So Kim, Kim's father died, but then Kim obviously had like her trauma with her sex tape, right? Kanye.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

His mom, Donda died.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Like very close. Like you literally do not reach Chelsea Handler dead mom. And I'm not saying it needs to be a dead parent, but you literally cannot, you need to struggle through something extreme for you to elevate life is God is fair. There's a balance. Right. So I am hyper privileged. As I have said a thousand times. I have access to so many things that people don't that I'm so fortunate for. But I've also experienced a tremendous amount of gut wrenching loss that my life will never be the same. I will never feel the same.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And it's a part of life, right? Like everyone's parents die at some point. You just don't expect it to be a. As young as I am and be as quickly and close together as it was. It was just.

[Judith Cargbo]

It's back to back to back. I mean, you were going through, like, huge physiological, huge physiological things.

[Morgan Stewart]

I was becoming a mother to two kids. I mean, I had never been a mother before. My boss. I mean, it was just. It has definitely humbled me in a way where I am very cognizant of, like, how I'm feeling all the time. Yeah, I'm definitely not. I was never relaxed. I have absolutely no chill whatsoever. But, like, if something's out of place, like Twitch, if something's, like, not facing the right way, I also freak out.

[Judith Cargbo]

That could also be the Virgo sign.

[Morgan Stewart]

That is. No, no, you're right. Okay. Oh, and also my son has a Virgo moon, so there's Virgo sun, Virgo rising, Virgo moon. If you are a Virgo moon, you are the highest form of Virgo. So you are the most ocd, anal retentive, rigid version.

[Judith Cargbo]

Taking notes.

[Morgan Stewart]

Virgo Rising is like an organized, disorganized mess. Like me. Like, I don't know where my license is. I don't know where my credit card is. I have no idea, like, where, like, my toothbrush. I am like a mess. But then if I am missing a shirt from 2008, I will stay up for four days and I will find that shirt.

[Huntington Bank Commercial Voice]

[Morgan Stewart]

[Morgan Stewart]

Oh, no.

[Huntington Bank Commercial Voice]

Is it tracking your spending so you can make the best choices at the mall?

[Morgan Stewart]

Nope.

[Huntington Bank Commercial Voice]

Or setting limits on your teenager's debit card?

I'm so excited for this podcast. Yeah, I feel like it has been long awaited. I think people Are genuinely, genuinely excited. I'm genuinely excited. I feel like today I feel more excited than I have. Yeah, we, as I told you guys, we did do one last week. It wasn't bad. It was not bad. It just wasn't buttoned.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah, I mean it takes a while to get comfortable.

[Morgan Stewart]

Yeah. That's why we're gonna use all of this. Because I need people. I wanna grow together. I want you guys to hear me from the first time till the last, which will be in million years. And then there's gonna be a lot of Forbe covers.

[Judith Cargbo]

And also shout out to you, reverence.

[Morgan Stewart]

Yeah. And by the way, thank God it was a long time ago, the Golden Globes, obviously. Yeah. But I was so happy that she won. Yeah, I love that.

[Judith Cargbo]

Well deserved.

[Morgan Stewart]

I also got invited to. There was a big fancy Sirius XM breakfast for all these famous people. I thought honestly, Adam was gonna be a bunch and no one was gonna be there. So I was like, oh, I can't make it. I really couldn't make it because I had to do something with my daughter because. Should we talk about that?

[Judith Cargbo]

Yes.

[Morgan Stewart]

So we. You guys are in the, in the midst right now with me. I have to get my 4 year old daughter into kindergarten.

[Judith Cargbo]

Oof.

[Morgan Stewart]

So for those of you who don't know, I'm just gonna run it back. Let's. Let's really figure out what this is. So what that means is when you apply to a private school for your four year old turning five year old, you need to apply to at least six schools. Six 6s I X 6 schools. You pay for those applications. It's like 300 bucks, but still you have to pay for those. So you apply, your child goes in for a solo interview, then they go in for a group play date a few weeks after that. You then go in as a couple to do an interview with the school. And then for each school that you apply to, you have to go to different events to basically shake your pom poms. Rah rah. Let them know how much you're gonna donate, but not say donate. Because we don't talk about money, but we need money. It's like very that vibe.

[Judith Cargbo]

Oh my God.

[Morgan Stewart]

Talk about what a fit you are, how involved you are gonna be. So when I was growing up, my mom kicked me outta the car. I went to school all day. And then she picked me up. Now it is parent involvement. There's different committees that you can be on how you're gonna show up. I have a whole ass job to pay for this school. What do you mean? I don't have time all day to serve fucking lunch to her and her all, all fucking friends. And I don't like. Yeah, no, it is a very.

[Judith Cargbo]

They don't have lunch ladies anymore When I was going up.

[Morgan Stewart]

No, they have a lunch. They have a lunch lady. But not every. There's like all this different stuff that you need to be involved in. And it is an extremely overwhelming process. It's totally not where I'm comfortable. I'm very good at talking, but having to do an interview and not make an inappropriate joke about dick or something is very stressful. Okay. She's like, so what do you. I'm like, oh, my God. Like, it is very scary to have to like be pretty straight laced. I found my balance. Like, I make a lot of jokes about like washing my hair. Like, I made a joke last week where I was like, well, you know, we've really, we've really noticed that Ro thrives with structure. And I need structure. That's why I wash my hair only three times a week. That got a huge laugh. I wanted to kill myself. Okay. The committee erupted. They were like, oh, my God, that's so funny. I'm like, wait till I talk about cocaine and dick.

[Judith Cargbo]

Wait till they tune in.

[Morgan Stewart]

Wait. Literally. Oh, oh, by the way, please let her in. So it's very like finding that banter and making sure that you're presenting authentically without being inappropriate. And I live in the world of inappropriate and like cutting through the bullshit. Cause I wanna get to know people right away and see where we all stand. I don't really wanna have to beat around the bush. But Jordan's really stepped up because he is quiet, but then low key funny. You know, he comes in.

[Judith Cargbo]

It's a subtle.

[Morgan Stewart]

It's a subtle. It's a Libra. He's Libra, Gemini, Moon. So he's got a lot and sag rising. So he's very. But funny, but like a lot more chill. So he's been a great support system. And honestly, I did want to say this earlier when I was going through all of like the dropping dead is Jordan. I mean, I think to anybody listening, but especially girls, younger girls, it is so important to make sure that if you are thinking about marrying somebody, it is the right person. You don't think about them with their fancy job or whatever fancy car they have. I mean, if you're dating them, like, definitely care about the car. But if you're marrying them, you need to think about when one of your parents dies, how this person is gonna operate because he has. I mean, I went to. Are there tissues? When my dad. We basically were done with hospice, and he was sitting there, and, I mean, being told we're just gonna. Usually you're not coherent at that point. You're just sort of in a hospital room, and you just sort of fade away. He was fully alive and well, but not.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And the doctor said, you know, there's just nothing else we can do. And I remember just seeing him kind of sink into himself. And then we went home, and he was. It had spread. He was in the hospital two weeks before for a week and a half. And my mom was in Europe because she needed a break to go be with her mom, which, by the way, my grandmother was 99 at the time. The bitch is about to be 101, so that bitch doesn't die.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And not to mention had a stroke a few weeks ago and is back up and stayed up till midnight. So she's kicking. She's smoking a cigarette every day. She's fine. And when we went back home to. After the last sort of appointment to mention, like, okay, hospice, he. I dropped them off. I said bye to them. I went home, and my mom texted me. This is the craziest story. So my dad was a classical guitarist my whole life. So he studied in Spain under some very important people. And so every day for my entire existence on Earth, he played classical Spanish guitar. When he got home from work for hours, like, would do, like, Bach number three. Like, was very, like, a true artist. And when my kids were born, somebody gave them these, like, little Spanish guitars as a gift, like, in pink, white, and black or whatever. It's like if you have a kid, you just get them, these guitars. And I remember I was sitting down in my kitchen on the floor. We had these, like, beanbag chairs. And I remember just being, like, exhausted and being like, holy fuck. Like, what is happening? We thought at that point, maybe he would live six more months or he would be around for a little bit longer again. We did not think this person was dying.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

For some reason, even though he was, like, shriveling up, and it was horrific. I was sitting down. I was, like, looking at my phone, and my two kids came out and brought the guitars and placed them next to me.

[Huntington Bank Commercial Voice]

Aw.

[Morgan Stewart]

We had not seen these guitars Since Gray was one, I didn't even know where they were. So they brought them out. And I remember looking at them being like, why are you bringing these to me? I've counted. Twelve minutes later, my mom texted me and said, you have to come back. You have to come back to the house. So we went back to the house, and my dad had already started to pass away. It was the crazy. It was basically like, letting everyone know, like, you know. So I was with him. And I don't know how we got back into this, I guess, because I haven't, like, spoken these things out loud, but I was with him holding his. Oh, back to marrying a good person. I was with him holding his hand, and I was watching him take his last breath. And I remember halfway through being like, is he gonna close his eyes? Like, I'm gonna fucking freak out right now. He kind of. Of.

[Nordstrom Rack Commercial Voice]

He didn't.

[Morgan Stewart]

But sort of just glazed over anyway. It was the most beautiful, intimate way that you can say bye. There was no tubes. There was no hospital, anybody. Like, it was just him basically fighting for air for the last 20 minutes. It took a long time.

[Judith Cargbo]

Right.

[Morgan Stewart]

And I've had the thought of, like, why didn't we call? But it was. It was his time.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

It wasn't. There was no saving anything. And my husband was there.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Standing behind me in the doorway and had to. So then when people die, what happens is you become a body and somebody has to pick you the fuck up and take you somewhere. Which is the craziest thing ever. Right. Like, you're all of a sudden this just. Bag of stuff.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah. It's. It's nuts.

[Morgan Stewart]

So I remember going to the kitchen table, sitting with my mom. My husband was, like, watching. My dad had obviously passed away. He was blue. I mean, my mom was sitting there. We were taking. It was just the most beautiful, horrific moment of my entire life. And I remember when the coroner. Whoever had to come, they rang the doorbell. My mom was like. It was just like a knife in the heart. Like, they're gonna take her husband to 40 years, you know?

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And he watched them wrap him up and put it. I mean, we couldn't do that. We were on another fucking planet. So it is very important to make sure that you are gonna be with the. Or try at least to be very hard with the right person.

[Judith Cargbo]

Absolutely.

[Morgan Stewart]

Who's gonna be with you through those things.

[Judith Cargbo]

Absolutely.

[Morgan Stewart]

Because then you go to Tuscany two years later, and the sib.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

So he's like, is this whole fucking family just kicking the fucking Bucket.

[Judith Cargbo]

Life, life, be life. And you need someone to life with you.

[Morgan Stewart]

Life with you. And life. I mean it literally. That is. I think the rap sheet of this is life has lifed so much for me for the last however many years. That, like, you know, and the last thing I'll say about my dad is that he was always my support system. Somebody that really encouraged my career. He thought I was the biggest star in the world. He was always like, what's going on? We need to do more. What's happening? And Susan's very traditional, and now that I have young children, she feels like I can't miss one single moment. It goes so fast. They are the most important thing to you. You have a beautiful life. Why do you need to really entertain? Why do you need something to take you away from them? That's more of her stance. So that's been also harder for me to navigate. Continuing on, finding my passion, making sure I'm still interested in being a media person. Right. Because I don't need the money, but I need the sense of self. I need the purpose. My daughter's starting kindergarten. My kids are gonna be in school from 3 or from 9am to 3 o'. Clock. Like, who is their mom?

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah, outside of them.

[Morgan Stewart]

Who is their mom? Outside of them, who are they gonna be seeing every single day? And to start this show and have it be my first creative endeavor without him is tough.

[Judith Cargbo]

It hits.

[Morgan Stewart]

It hits so.

[Judith Cargbo]

So slowly it hits.

[Morgan Stewart]

It really hits. And it's like, oh, I can't call him. I can't talk about anything with him. I mean, I know he's listening, but that is just something that's very real. So I think for me, it's very important this goes well because I know that he's definitely helping facilitate all of this stuff behind the scenes.

[Judith Cargbo]

Absolutely.

[Morgan Stewart]

And it's. It's just. Yeah, it's weird. I mean, even as we think about moving, I'm like, God, if we move houses, like, he's never been to this new house, like, where we've lived now. He did the whole backyard with me. We. He was a contractor, architect. So, like, we constructed so much. And, like, if we were to leave. It's weird.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

You know what's so crazy? Can I just tell you something? Are you ready for this?

[Judith Cargbo]

Go ahead.

[Morgan Stewart]

I just got an automated general text, okay. Saying, like, this is Mila Corvin reaching out to Herb Stewart, who's my dad.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

I have not gotten a text like this since he died. So that is literally

[Judith Cargbo]

shout out to Your dad. Shout out to your dad. Yeah, yeah, those signs. Yeah, those signs. They mean something. They absolutely mean something. Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

That is so. I mean, why am I getting that text right now with his name bold in my phone?

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

It's crazy.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. I know.

[Judith Cargbo]

Success.

[Morgan Stewart]

No, it's so crazy. And this is. We're gonna end on this. So first of all, I'm so excited. I hope you guys will join us every single week.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

But. But I. When I was. I grew up off Benedict Canyon in a really modern house that my dad built. And I remember being in the kitchen, it was all glass. I was like 6 years old. And I remember I was like, I don't know, talking to my dad about something, and he was like, look at the hawk. Look at the hawk. The hawk had swooped down over the canyon. We had like a huge view of, like the whole canyon. And my mother in law introduced me to this psychic. And the first. When my dad had passed, I'd spoken to him a few times and I had never spoken to him about this. And when he had passed, he said, you know, your dad is telling me that you should look for him in the Hawks.

[Judith Cargbo]

Mm.

[Morgan Stewart]

I was like, how do you. You know he didn't say, like, butterfly, bitch. Everyone's a dead butterfly. Like, I'm not doing it. And so I. The Hawks are a big sign for me. And then he also said, technology. Like, look through technology.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And then I just got that text as we've been talking about him for the last hour.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. I love the Morgan Stewart show. Okay, great. Fabulous. That is okay. Yeah. Is there vodka? I need a Dr. Now.

[Judith Cargbo]

It is allowed.

[Morgan Stewart]

Okay. So after. First of all, Judah, thanks for listening to all of that, but I think we need to. We need to end on a happier. We need some happy, uplifting notes. We. We need to leave the episode, the first episode, just a little bit lighter. I told you last week, and I wanna tell you again, because it happened this morning. I. Ro is going through a bit of a sensory issue with her clothing. Right. So things have to be incredibly soft. She doesn't like tags and anything. And I suggested a navy blue sweater last week.

[Judith Cargbo]

Okay.

[Morgan Stewart]

And she basically told me that was my style and I have bad style. Oh. And I said, no, sweetie. I said, mommy, Mommy has. Everybody likes mommy's style. Okay? Everybody likes mommy's style. And it got me thinking. Obviously, you know, I've gone through what I've gone through, but I also have a full blown fashion business. A fashion brand that I am like, that is my day to day job.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

That is something that I have created that's two years old that I am incredibly proud of and passionate about. And so I think I just needed to like, like remind myself like it hasn't all been just a deep, dark vibe. Do you know what I mean?

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

And I feel like that's kind of what we're gonna get every week. Like we're gonna talk about some. Whatever's going on and then we're also gonna talk about some fun shit.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Right.

[Judith Cargbo]

How would you describe like Wrangley's style?

[Morgan Stewart]

What is wrang? You know, I've been getting that question a lot this week. So Wrangley is very well made, quality basics with some novelty pieces, some fun pieces. It's like your dependable friend, but can also get drunk. That is how I would describe Wrangley. Like Rangley can have two drinks, have a cigarette, but she also is at the library at 8am if she needs to be. Yeah.

[Judith Cargbo]

She gets it done.

[Morgan Stewart]

The bitch shows up. She get. You know what, Judith? She gets it done. Thank you. She gets it done. That's the vibe with Wrangley. And. And yeah, I'm just so excited to kind of evolve every single week and talk about some. Also like some fucking celebrity shit too.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Like who's breaking up, who's having sex, who's DMing, who, like what's happening, who has a good outfit. And nobody ever. But you know, if somebody does, we'll talk about that.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Oh my God. Parenting, motherhood, wifehood, daughterhood. I mean, all of the things. Friend. Navigating friendships. That's also been a huge theme in my life the last few years. And I also feel like until this very year, like 2026, like I used to have like a baseline of like hi to people. I didn't even. And now I'm just like, I don't really like you. I don't need to give you that generic app, sort of like, you know, high pitched, high. I can keep it fucking moving.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah.

[Morgan Stewart]

Like it's time to just be completely authentic and live in whatever truth I wanna live in.

[Judith Cargbo]

Yeah. I think this is the place to do it.

[Morgan Stewart]

This is the place to do it. So if that's what you guys are into, then hopefully you come back and we'll do that together.
