Bravo Therapy

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 be...

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...

Hey BABs! This episode I’m joined by Alex Piscatelli, the amazing creator of the Grief in Media Project. Together, we dive deep into how grief shows up in reality TV, pop culture, and our own lives. We’re spilling all the realiTEA on how shows like Vanderpump Rules and Summer House portray grief, and why these raw, unfiltered moments matter so much. Alex shares her personal journey through grief, how it inspired her to start the Grief in Media Project, and why creating art has been a form of healing for her.

Key Poin...

Hey Babs! I'm back in the Bravo-verse and as The Countess would say "she's startin'!"

I've officially returned after putting myself on pause for four-months after a whirlwind of events more intense than a Housewives reunion. I’ve been through it all—grief, healing, and some serious life shifts—and now I’m ready to spill all the realiTEA. In this epic comeback episode of Bravo Therapy, we’re diving deep into where I’ve been, how I’ve dealt with loss, the life lessons I’ve picked up along the way and of course how BravoTV (and Lov...

Mercury retrograde + Aries season + eclipse season = A total s*&$ show!

Scorpio Queen Heddie Hall is back and we're jumping right into this chaotic astrological period. Find out what this Mercury Retrograde and and eclipse season have in store, as well as the fiery energy this Aries season is igniting (maybe this explains why Lala Kent is acting a complete fool and hating on Ariana every moment she finds?!). Of course it wouldn't be Bravo Therapy without connecting our talk about the stars to the stars of BravoTV. We'll be highlighting some of our favorite Aries Bravolebs...

Hey Babs! This episode is for the girlies as we celebrate Women's History Month by exploring what it means to be a BAB and highlighting the women of our current favorite Bravo (and Bravo adjacent) shows that embody BAB behavior, while also calling out those exhibiting more bad behavior (that's just like, totally against the rules of feminism...as Gretchen Wieners would say). Join me on this solo episode for the ultimate Bravo Breakdown of the women making history and making waves on Vanderpump Rules, Real Housewives of Potomac, Buying Beverly Hills, and Summer House.

But...

Guess who's back? Back again. Heddie's back. Tell a friend!

Yes, BABs, Heddie Hall is back, and you know what that means: all things astrology and Bravo and healing...oh my! All the good sh*t in one episode. This time we're talking all things Pisces season, the final sign of the astrological calendar and one that has us in all of our feels.

Come join us for an incredibly insightful episode, where Heddie reads my Pisces son's chart and I come to so many wild realizations on how our charts reveal our...

This week is a solo episode! That's right, it's just me and you BABs! Black History Month may officially be over, but celebrating Black culture, stories, and history is much more than a month or a moment. What the celebratory month represents, honors, and teaches, resonates 365 days a year. So, to keep the celebration going, this episode is dedicated to highlighting and uplifting beautiful reflections of Black culture, history, and reality on some of our favorite BravoTV shows. We're talking Married to Medicine, Summer House Martha's Vineyard, Guerdy and Kiki from Real Housewives of Miami, Ciara and Mya from...

Love is in the air and we don't f'ing care...ok, just kidding, but Michael and I are just two single BABs trying to navigate the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce PDA of it all.

In this episode Michael and I delved into our messy dating histories, discuss our favorite Bravo TV couples, and shared our thoughts on Valentine's Day. We'll explore the impact of reality TV on our personal growth and self-discovery, while also playing some fun Bravo dating games like: Marry, F, Banish (with the worst men of Bravo), Which Bravoleb...

It's the dawning of the Age of Aquarius and you know what that means...our resident astrology aficionado BAB Heddie Hall is back and joining me to dive into the deep waters of Aquarius season and the transformative energy it brings.

As usual, we'll start off with a mental health check-in and this week we're focusing on releasing control, fear of rejection, and the importance of setting boundaries. I'll give a helpful mental wellness hack and premier our first ever Bravo Affirmation of the Week, inspired by Katie Maloney and the new season of Vanderpump Rules.<...

Villain, Victim or Vigilante?...That's the question Michael and I explore in this episode. Not only as it relates to Monica, but the entire cast of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4.

We're breaking down both the season and the reunion of RHOSLC and asking if Monica's punishment matches the crime. We'll also do a deeper dive into Monica Garcia: her story, her trauma, her projection and how she did more in one season of a housewives franchise than most Bravo TV housewives do in 10 seasons. Overall, this episode of Bravo Therapy provides a...

It's the first episode of my Therapy After Dark series, my series of bonus episodes that are a bit more unhinged and sometimes more boozy than regular Bravo Therapy Sessions.

This episode I'm joined by Michael Sheley right after we attended the Vanderpump Rules season 11 premier party and we're spilling the Pumptinis. From our run ins with James Kennedy, Tom Sandoval, Scheana Shay, and Tom Schwartz, to our reactions to the first episode of the new season, we're giving you the full rundown of what happened on and off screen during Lo's less than 12 hour trip...

A Gemini and a Capricorn walk onto a podcast...

We'll also share our origin story and how we turned our trauma bond into a forever Bravo bond.

Michael gives us his Bravo Background, including his current favorite shows ('Southern Charm...

It's still Capricorn season and you know I'm gonna milk it to the last drop. I'm back with one of my favorite Scorpions and astrological aficionado, Heddie Hall, and we're turning our attention to your favorite non-housewife Bravo stars who are Capricorns. We'll start off with a New Year's-themed mental health check in, where we reflect on the pressure to set goals at the beginning of the year (bleh). Then we'll dive right in to the zodiac realiTEA of it all. We'll explore how Katie Maloney's complex chart has paved the way for her to step into her BAB...
