A Wondery original podcast so compelling it was reimagined for TV starring Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate, Sissy Spacek, and more… 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. Follow Dying for Sex on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge all original episodes early and ad-free, right now on Wondery+. Start your free trial in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or by visiting wondery.com/links/dying-for-sex/ now.

My husband passed away from cancer six weeks after being diagnosed at age 42. There was so much I was unable to talk to him about towards the end. I had so many questions about his experience. Molly’s honesty about what her body felt like and her thoughts about dying have brought me some peace.
A Therapist on SA

I just started listening so this is not a review of the podcast so to speak, only the first 10 minutes. And I am coming to the conversation 4 years behind everyone, as I wanted to listen to prepare for the miniseries. But the massage that started Molly’s journey is at best a gross violation of consent, power dynamics and boundaries (that massage therapist would lose his license for doing what he did), and at worst assault. I understand consent was given mid-massage, but there are circumstances where consent is compromised and there are reasons a massage therapist can and should never make this kind of advance. I was very excited for a sex positive journey through friendship and death. But to fail to name this for what it is leaves me very wary of what’s to come, which I know includes actual references to childhood abuse. I just couldn’t not say something, for those scanning the comments like me and seeing no one calling a spade a spade.
Thank you

This podcast really touches on every single emotion. I was dying, laughing, and then crying and driving. This is such a beautiful story and a beautiful friendship. Rock On Molly🤍
