Olivia Wilde, welcome to Her Daddy.

**Olivia Wilde** (1:57)
Hi, Daddy.

**Alex Cooper** (1:58)
I am so excited to meet you.

**Olivia Wilde** (2:01)
Likewise.

**Alex Cooper** (2:02)
It's been a long time coming.

**Olivia Wilde** (2:03)
Yeah.

**Alex Cooper** (2:04)
I have so much respect for you. You have had such an incredible, impressive career. Started as an actress, still are an actress, then obviously evolved into being a director.
And I just feel like you have been at the center of some of the biggest conversations for women and motherhood and ambition and relationships and public everything. Like you're it, girl. So I'm so excited to talk to you today.

**Olivia Wilde** (2:31)
Ditto in all the ways.

**Alex Cooper** (2:33)
Last night, let me paint the picture.

**Olivia Wilde** (2:35)
Yeah, take me through it.

**Alex Cooper** (2:36)
So I get into bed. I get all my favorite pregnancy snacks.

**Olivia Wilde** (2:40)
Yes.

**Alex Cooper** (2:40)
I sit back, relax, put on my heating pad, and I turn on your new film. And I had no idea what to expect because at first I was like, I saw the trailer, but it was kind of ambiguous and I didn't know what to expect.
The Invite is so incredible. Screen time, zero. I didn't pick up my phone. Whoa. Well, because you throw us right into it. And it was so incredible, the way that you explore modern relationships in a very nuanced, psychological way. It was right up my alley. It's amazing.

**Olivia Wilde** (3:19)
It's so you. I'm so happy that you watched it and that, I mean, we are both Perel heads. We both love Esther. Esther is all over that shit and was our literal consultant. And we have to talk about that.

**Alex Cooper** (3:33)
Yes, we have to.

**Olivia Wilde** (3:34)
But I'm so happy that I can discuss it with you because it deals with so many of the things that you bring up so eloquently with your guests. And it's relatable for so many of us going through relationship dramas in every single way.

**Alex Cooper** (3:48)
Well, that was what I found so fascinating was I didn't know what, when people were telling me like, oh my God, Esther Perel was involved. I'm like, what does that even mean?

**Olivia Wilde** (3:56)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

**Alex Cooper** (3:57)
And she was a consultant on the movie. Every single time I've ever sat down with her because she's been on the show multiple times. She reframes everything for me. She reframes my life, intimacy, relationships.
What initially drew you to her work?

**Olivia Wilde** (4:12)
Well, she was my shrink at one point.
