  • POP THERAPY: Bravo Buzz, Dark Truths & Your Burning Questions
    Sep 14 2025

    POP THERAPY: In this episode, we mention it all! A brief look at the return of Salt Lake City and the heartbreaking latest news about Mary Cosby’s son, with some real talk about addiction and what sobriety looks like when it’s playing out on reality TV.


    You’ll hear why Real Housewives of Miami is hands-down the most underrated Housewives franchise, and yes… my unfiltered thoughts on Orange County. The Tamra of it all, the blogger nonsense, and why she keeps skating past accountability for some of the ugliest moments in Housewives history.


    And to finish, I’m answering your questions, from my spiciest Bravo takes to the dinner party of my dreams, and which Bravolebs I’d secretly love to see in therapy.


    A little Bravo buzz, a little pop culture, and a lot ofhonesty.

    If you haven’t watched this doc yet – be warned. Spoilers are very much throughout this ep!


    After watching myself, I couldn’t help but jump on the mic for a deep dive into the psychology behind Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish - exploring the devastating impact of deception, manipulation and betrayal, and what happens when trust is broken in the most unimaginable way.

  • Clayton Farris: From Viral Fame to the Big Screen (and What’s Next for That One Rich Couple)
    Aug 29 2025

    Actor, writer and creator Clayton Farris joins me for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, inspiring, and full of heart. You know him from his wildly popular sketches like That One Rich Couple - and in this episode, he drops a huge scoop about what’s next for the series that fans can’t get enough of.


    We also veer into an impromptu improv session that had us both in stitches (couldn't help myself), while diving into the real stuff: Clayton’s later arrival in Hollywood, how he uses optimism and journaling to stay in the creative flow, and the ways he’s learned to push past self-doubt and imposter syndrome to step fully into his talents - and the number one movie worldwide!


    This one is deep and insightful, with takeaways that we can all apply in our own lives - whether you’re chasing Hollywood dreams or just trying to write your next chapter.
