ARIES RISING! This week I welcome Kyle aka @therealhousewivesorders We jump right in and start talking about his book club and his awesome live reading of Gizelle's book on IG live (I would listen to him read a menu) and reading Carole Radziwill's book "What Remains" and the STARK differences of the two housewife books (including the audio readings.) Then we talk about learning how to appreciate our housewife villains and what they bring to the show (looking at you Kenya Moore) and how our minds will allow us to believe what we want to believe because we want to believe it, especially when it comes to our housewives which brings us to RHOP and Candiace Dillard and the housewife world's seeming hatred of her. We talk about the current climate we are in and the way people treat Candiace who IS a black woman, the excuses that are made for Ashley Darby and her behavior (which has been in the lower level at Ramona's home her entire time on the show), the butter knife toss heard round' the world and the way people love Porsha Williams despite her anti LGBTQ sermon (which she has apologized for via PR statement) but refuse to forgive Candiace for her tweets (that she also apologized for via PR statement) and the hypocrisy of not keeping the same energy. And we talk about Monique and her friendships on the show and their interactions (Monique & Charrisse, and Monique & Candiace and wishing they were still friends.) Then we get into the RHOP IG lives that were like soap operas and how Candiace and Monique were actually saying the same things and we wonder if you need a witness or letter from someone to get a cease and desist served to someone or to file charges on someone (per a scene from Teen Mom, you may not.)
Then Kyle gives his experience working in the beauty world and what possibly could have happened with Gizelle's Every Hue beauty (possibly), we talk about his love for Danica from VPR and Scheana's latest (at the time of this recording) podcast episode and the icky tea that was spilled, and Danica's vitamin recommendation that actually works!
And we end with Kyle talking about Married to Medicine and our hope that the world gets on board! Then I give my housewives tag line and we solicit dm's with tag line ideas for Kyle!
Asking Kyle to be a guest is one of the best orders I have made, and Kyle is a dish that I will continue to order!

I am excited to share my conversation with Mallory who runs the @realhousepinsoc Instagram account and the successful Etsy shop Real House Pins OC. I first "met" Mallory in the dm's when she introduced herself, sent me her number and told me if my son or me and my family ever needed anything when we came to the OC, that her door was open. And since then, a friendship was born!
In this episode we talk, dog attacks and her detective skills (Megan King Edmonds could never), the OC and what it REALLY looks like (the demographics) and close family that are on the opposite side of the aisle from us and the fascination in watching them. We talk about therapy and the stigma in different cultures, anti- depressants, the need to talk more about ADHD in adults and being careful about misdiagnosing ADHD in children.
We also get into cherry picking culture and choosing when to call people out and when not to (your favorites versus people you don't like), when you feel guilty for watching certain Bravo shows but watch others, learning not to judge what others are watching (sometimes) and racist people who love to tan (you have to see the irony.) Mallory also shares a personal experience about being stopped by a cop and I share mine...and they were the same...almost and we talk about a video that demonstrates the lives of many black Americans.
We touch on how Mallory was raised not see anyone as an other, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement and her path to becoming an ally.
Then we make a quick trip south and talk about The Real Peaches of Atlanta and COVID.
This episode was Mallory and I having real talk about all things real life...and we didn't put a pin in anything!

I am SUPER excited to be Zooming with two absolutely wonderful women...Abby and Vanessa hosts of the Real Moms of Bravo podcast! Abby and Vanessa have been best friends for many years and have shared their love of Bravo, their innermost thoughts, feelings, weddings and families with each other. Everything that best friends do. Then the world was hit with a pandemic, a murder and a black box on Instagram that paused the world but started conversations between people from all different backgrounds and beliefs and some from the same backgrounds and beliefs that previously weren't being had. And on this episode, Abby & Vanessa, best friends who share the same beautiful hearts but differ in ethnicity and race, talk to me about the conversations they had with each other and others when the crisis of the world made time slow down. We talk ally ship, colorism within Vanessa and I's culture (Vanessa is Dominican & Black and I'm Black) and Abby shares a conversation she had with her sons that gave me good chills and has me hoping for more allies like her!
And somewhere in between we touch on the housewives that may or may not be lightly scripted; but I know our conversation was 100 % real! And I am so grateful to have connected to these ladies!

This week one of my favorite people and host of The Housewives Tonight podcast, Rit aka wivestonight Zooms straight into my kitchen and we have an awesome chat! We start talking about Monique and the counseling session she had with her Pastor and we discuss church counseling verses licensed therapist, if Candiace and Monique were ACTUALLY close off camera (we get the same flash back picture repeatedly) and the emotional investment this fight takes. Speaking of investments, we talk about how the Instagram/Bravo podcast community is so welcoming and encouraging and about the authenticity of podcasts and what happens when the hosts want to touch the sun aka the bravolebs that we talk about on the podcasts. And Ritt shares which housewife always tags him in her only fans posts.
We then take a bit of a shift and talk about Kamala Harris and how awesome it is that a woman of color was elected as VP. And we go a bit deeper and talk about her mixed heritage and the conversation surrounding it and Ritt breaks down the Indian caste system for me. Next we go on a wild ride and talk about Surviving R. Kelly part 2 (Ritt was a producer on the show) and how the law doesn't favor women of color. And we dip back into the Potomac waters and discuss how all hands really need to point to Gizelle (my problematic fave-ish)
Producing may be Ritts profession but this conversation was completely authentic!

There aren't words to describe my conversation with THE amazing @katecaseyca from the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast! From the moment she appeared on my Zoom screen, I felt a connection with her that made me feel like we had known each other forever (spoiler...I think we have!) And we jump RIGHT into the fact that we are birthday twins (we were certainly separated at birth), her photographic memory (her and Bill Clinton share that) and how it ties into 9/11, her home life which led to her time at the Milton Hershey School and the incident that took place during her time there that really shook her, but she was able to eventually get peace about.
Then we come back to the present and get into the current state of the world and talk Black Lives Matter, white privilege, the real conversations that need to be had and what she has done to make sure that her children don't have a myopic mindset but instead lead with empathy, compassion and kindness, just like Kate!
