Description

When Molly's diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer, she decides to do something bold: she leaves her unhappy marriage and embarks on a series of sexual adventures to help her feel alive. She shares the funniest and most touching details with her closest friend, host Nikki Boyer. As they peel back the layers, we learn that Molly isn’t just grappling with breast cancer: she's also dealing with some trauma from her past. Along the journey, the friends explore bigger themes that affect us all -- like healing, forgiveness and what do we do with the time we have left.
From Wondery, the makers of The Shrink Next Door and Imagined Life, Dying for Sex is a six-part series about friendship, sex and love, and overcoming adversity. Hosted by Nikki Boyer.
All episodes are available ad-free on Wondery+ or on Amazon Music with a Prime membership or Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.

I've just listened to this podcast and I am incredibly moved. Having been struggling through cancer recently I've always had my best friend at my side. I have the most beautiful child & husband but I also want to protect them. I can only be raw and scared with my bestie. This podcast had the words to help me explain to myself how we feel about eachother and how she is the best most loving & funny person in the world. I am incredibly thankful for this story. I am genuinely touched by your journeys. So worth a listen.

Best podcast I’ve listened to all year

I sent Nikki a message on Twitter when I’d listened to the first few episodes to say that the best thing about the show was her laughter. When she laughed, really laughed at Molly’s escapades, you couldn’t help but laugh along too.
I have listened to many podcasts but none resonated with me as this one has. It gives you so much and you can only admire the story telling and two women’s bravery. Thank you.

Big love for this!

I randomly came across the podcast when I was looking for something to listen to & I’m so glad I did. It was truly amazing how it could make you want to laugh one minute & cry the next. What a great listen!

Took me from crying laughing to sobbing in the shower.

Often I think death can turn anyone into an extraordinary person, but Molly genuinely was one. She has such an eye opening way of looking at the world, she speaks with such eloquence but not in a stuck up way, she made me laugh out loud on public transport and then she made me sob in the shower. It is a privilege to listen to this, it is truly a gift. I don’t think I’ll be the same since listening and I think that is a good thing. We could all learn and take a bit from Molly and I think we’d be better off for it.

Beautiful, heart wrenching, humorous and truly special

As the title suggest it’s perfectly funny, perfectly sad and still perfectly funny.
Perfect stories that make you laugh out loud in the car, and also cry.
I’m sad it’s only 6 episodes but grateful to have been able to listen.

This podcast portrays a true deep friendship, it will make you laugh, think erm what the hell (with the escapades!) but above all else it will bring home the true meaning of love. Mollys openness with her living with cancer is just commendable and Nikkis love and loyalty to her friend shines through. This is one of the best podcasts out there 💕

I love this podcast. Thank you so much!
I’m 35, with a history of abuse, currently dealing with significant/ life altering illness. It’s been such a gift to hear Molly’s journey - it’s really resonated with me and brought me healing. I am so touched by the depth of your friendship, and the way that you have facilitated the sharing of Molly’s experiences. I think you are both wonderful, and feel so grateful to have found this podcast.

Funny. Moving. A must listen.

What an amazing podcast. A true love story displaying how powerful and supporting female friendships can be. The in-site into Molly’s fight with cancer and listening to her finding out who she is has been truly enlightening. Nikki, you have done a fabulous job at putting her story out in such a touching way, as well as showing your perspective so beautifully. Wishing you all the best. X

I have just finished the final episode and had to wait for the tears to stop before I could see to leave you a review. I truly feel honoured to have been given the gift of this podcast. I’ve laughed, cried, cringed and been warmed by it. I’ve told so many people to listen to it and I really hope they do. I feel Molly continues to shine in this world while this podcast is here. You’ve done such an amazing job and it must have been so hard at times. You really are her best true friend because it couldn’t have been easy for you to finish this. A huge thanks and sending hugs to you. Xx Ps I’m so glad you got pooped on :) thata girl Molly! Xxx
