RICKI LAKE: Losing Everything, Grief & Starting Over

Ricki Lake joins Room to Feel for one of her most personal conversations yet. From becoming the youngest talk show host in history and starring in Hairspray, to losing her Malibu home in the devastating fires, Ricki opens up about the moments that have shaped her life—and the resilience that carried her through them. Together, Ryan and Ricki talk about grief, healing after her late husband’s suicide, surviving trauma, body image, aging, plastic surgery, mental health, finding love again, and what it truly means to feel at home. They also share the surprising story of how they first connected, their mutual love of design, and the role our homes play in helping us heal. This is a conversation about loss, reinvention, and discovering that even after everything falls apart, it’s still possible to build a life that feels like home.
