Bravo Boundaries: From Selling Sunset to RHOC, Setting Limits and Navigating Toxic Friendships
Hey BABs! I’m back with solo episode all about growth, healing, and the boundaries we set along the way.This week's mental health check in honors World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) and I get real with my close connection to the cause and the reality of the mental health challenges many of us face, plus how I created Bravo Therapy to break down stigmas and normalize these conversations.This episode I dive into how leveling up means reevaluating the energy you keep around you, setting boundaries, and navigating the tricky balance between reacting and responding. These themes are hitting hard for me lately, and they’re also reflected in what’s happening in the Real Housewives of Orange County with Shannon and Tamra, the fallout between Lesa and Chanel on Real Housewives of Dubai, and the friendship combustions we saw on Season 8 of Selling Sunset.Key Points:Mental Health Check-In: Honoring World Suicide Prevention Day and why it’s important to destigmatize these conversations.Energy Givers and Takers: How Mercury Retrograde brought this theme to light for me and how it applies to our relationships.Setting Boundaries: The importance of setting boundaries without becoming the villain, and reevaluating who deserves to stay in your circle.Bravo Reflections:RHOC: Shannon and Tamra’s toxic dynamic and what it shows about outgrowing friendships.RHODubai: The unraveling friendship between Chanel Ayan and Lesa Milan.Selling Sunset: The breakdown between Brie Tessi, Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, and Chelsea Lazkani.Loved this episode?

The Real Villains of Bravo: How reality TV creates the biggest baddies
Hey BABs! I’m back with an episode that’s all about the Bravo villains we love to hate—or maybe just secretly love. Joined by my Bravo Bestie, Michael Sheley, we’re digging into what makes a perfect reality TV villain, how Bravo and reality TV are breeding grounds for creating these baddies, and which Bravolebs have gone from bad apple to Bad Ass Bitch.We’re also sharing our own villain eras because, let’s be honest, we all have one (or many). And let’s not forget, sometimes the real villain is the Bravo producer (like when they brought Alexis Bellino back to Real Housewives of Orange County to try to show Shannon Beador out the door--FAIL!). From Bravo’s biggest baddies to reformed villains, we’re covering it all and breaking down the psychology behind it. FYI, this episode was recorded during Mercury Retrograde, so we’re really leaning into that villain energy.Key Points:Villain Eras: Michael and I share our own villain moments and what we learned from them (or didn’t) and how they still creep up sometimesThe Ideal Reality TV Villain: Who’s genuinely bad, and who just got the short end of the edit? The real villains like Jax Taylor and Tom Sandoval versus the perceived villains like Kristen Doute and Kathryn Dennis.Bravo Villain Archetypes: We're matching your favorite Bravolebs to classic villain roles.Our Favorite Reformed Villains: Reality TV stars who’ve turned things around—like Jeff Lewis going from evil boss to self-aware mogul, and Stassi Schroeder’s transformation from “the devil” to mom, wife, and total BAB.Takeaways:Villains are often seen as opposing forces to the hero or protagonist, but there’s more beneath the surface.Reality TV often rewards and encourages people to embrace the villain role, but breaking free from that label is possible.External perceptions and the inability to set boundaries can perpetuate the villain role, but growth and healing are achievable.Loved this episode?

Whether you're here for the Housewives therapy, Bravo breakdowns, or just to catch up on all the drama, this episode is your all-access pass.Key Points:Grief and Healing, Housewives Style: My journey through grief after losing loved ones, and how I channeled my inner Ariana Madix to keep it together.Mental Health Check-In: Why sometimes you need to pause, pour some Vida Tequila, and let yourself feel all the feels.Bravo-Coded Reflections: How iconic Bravo moments—from RHOBH to Shahs of Sunset—have mirrored my life and helped me process everything from breakdowns to breakthroughs.Podcast Updates: Introducing the new episode schedule—main episodes every Tuesday and our new Bravo Breakdown series every Friday.
