A scream-queen (and Dan's old friend) talks control, insecurity, friendship, and parenthood.

Allison Williams is an actress, producer, and singer best known for her breakout role on HBO's award winning TV series GIRLS, the blockbuster film GET OUT, the science fiction horror film M3GAN, and now its sequel, M3GAN 2.0.

  • Catastrophizing in parenthood
  • How to avoid passing your anxieties onto your children

  • And much more
