35:24

Let’s talk about adulting— actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant , licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life . With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she’s here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here’s the truth: being an adult isn’t about checking boxes or pretending you’re fine. It’s about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It’s about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they’re clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it’s never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you’re starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

#102 RHOM: S7E1 – Two Break Ups, Two Babies, and Too Much Jody! 1:46:09

4 days ago1:46:09

1:46:09

The Real Housewives of Miami supersized every second of their supersized premiere! Julia & Martina are new parents! Larsa & Marcus are over. And Alexia & Todd are divorcing… but are also still married, and also secretly dating? Soooo… yeah. Jody’s birthday party tried to tell us “The Meat Made Me Do It,” but Ramona & Margee think the drama might be more a result of daddy issues, dated belief systems, with a side of internalized misogyny. Time to get “cozy” in a 6,000 square foot space, do some rich people sh*t and take a bone marrow shot, check the “AC,” and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#101 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E17 (PART 2) We CAN With This Guy – Josh Higgins Enters The Chat! 1:00:41

10 days ago1:00:41

1:00:41

It’s only our second ever GUEST-PISODE!! Ramona’s partner in marriage, parenthood, and (most importantly?) her partner in Bravo TV watching, JOSH HIGGINS, joins us to talk through part two of the Summer House reunion! There is consensus that - at least through a therapy-informed lens - Carl rules, Kyle’s a fool, Jesse’s a tool, and Craig is the worst. Also, could the time be coming for Amanda to take a page from Paige’s book and venture away from a partner who cares more about canned spritzers than connection? Time to serve up your first pancake with pride, throw back an adult beverage from a baby bottle, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#100 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E16 - Lord of the (no) Ring 1:38:40

18 days ago1:38:40

1:38:40

The Summer House Reunion gets underway with a Bed Bug set and a broken relationships theme. Ciara & West find some healing. Jesse & Lexi are hopeless. And Paige pulls back the curtain on Craig. Imrul ruled for showing up accountable, thoughtful, and vulnerable - we’d love to see him back next season, but those very character traits may disqualify him from reality tv. Time to put on some pastels & poorly-blended blush and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#99 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E15 - Love-Bombs AWAY! 1:44:15

25 days ago1:44:15

1:44:15

On Summer House, it's finally over for Lexi & Jesse and the aftermath rattles the Freedom Dinner, where Gabby emerges as MVP of the whole episode! The Scary Party gives us Ciara perfectly skewering the finance bro population, the Bed Bugs confirming everything invaluable about female friendship, and an elders gathering of Lindsay, Kyle and Danielle (ugh.) where they consider what their next chapters might look like. Time to absolutely NEVER sing “Time to wake up in the morning, MY SWEET FELLOW”(?!!), take a shot of chilled breast milk, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose! This is the book Ramona was talking about.…

#98 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E14 – Petty Party 1:16:33

5 weeks ago1:16:33

1:16:33

Jesse’s 9 o’clock manicure is the straw that breaks the camel’s back, so – both true to form - Lexi ends it, then Jesse lies about it. Classic. Lindsay takes to Instagram to try to ruin Carl but just comes off like a fool at her Freedom Dinner. Amanda’s bikinis-for-big-bubbies has a preview party, Imrul rode a motorcycle, and Jesse & West’s room (unsurprisingly) stinks like a gym. Time to take down a Dunkin’ Donut, dump your summer fling on a balcony, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#97 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E13 - No Good Guy Clause For Bad Guy Jesse 1:40:03

5 weeks ago1:40:03

1:40:03

On Summer House, Kyle’s sperm gets certified “dope,” while Jesse IS a certified dope. West is briefly sympathetic, until he Febrezes his clothes. Lindsay is somehow too much while also giving nothing? And Ciara remains a goddess among nitwits. Time to stuff a Kraft single into an olive, rest an injured hand on a pack of frozen chicken, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#96 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E12 - Salty, Sour Solomon 1:41:18

6 weeks ago1:41:18

1:41:18

Between spells of general partying at the Summer House, we got a real clear look at Jesse Solomon party pooping and generally failing. Meanwhile, Kyle & Schwartz kvetch about being old-dads-to-be. And the girls (except Lindsay) were beacons of boundaries and the exemplification of self-esteem. Time to cook up some eggs with a side of stop-talking-sh*t-about-Lexi and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

# 95 SUMMER HOUSE: S9E11 - Bed Rotters and Flag Spotters 1:19:14

7 weeks ago1:19:14

1:19:14

The Valley was too dark, so we took a detour to Summer House! The boys served up a heaping helping of arrested development, immaturity, and unwarranted Imrul ill-will. And the girls created a landfill crisis but looked real pretty in their costumes as they did it, so… Speaking of costumes, Tom Schwartz may have dressed up like an angel, but his Dark Eeyore energy shined right through! West & Jesse are Beavis & Butthead IRL. And Lexie delivered a pitch perfect performance as she made it known to King Toe-Gate that trust & truth are nonnegotiables. Time to step away from the ice luge, shut down Club Send It, and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#94 RHOBH: S14E19 - BEWARE: SNAKE WOMEN! 1:37:05

8 weeks ago1:37:05

1:37:05

The final installment of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion brought us The Victim Olympics! And, of course, everyone thinks they won. Kyle boo hoos about marriage, Sutton gets prickly about Ocean Spray, and Erika demonstrates that she is a substance colder than ice. Time to grab a couple bites of a corn dog, please do call your friends/frenemies WHILE they’re in the thick of it, and then tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#93 RHOBH: S14E19 - Kyle Richards in The Whiney Lotus 1:42:20

9 weeks ago1:42:20

1:42:20

In the second installment of the RHOBH reunion, not even Kyle’s amethyst can stand her BS anymore! Kyle is “I know you are but what am I” incarnate, and it is boring and exhausting and entirely on brand. We learned that “You live on a main road in Bel Air” is a sick burn if you’re ultra rich, and that Jennifer Tilly herself is the most important piece of American jewelry! Time to shoot a quick text to PK, grab an emotional support snack, but whatever you do, do not say the name “Morgan” aloud ever(!), and tune in to this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

#92 RHOBH: S14E18 - “Everybody Can Go F*ck Themselves, I Don’t Care.” 1:38:27

11 weeks ago1:38:27

1:38:27

The RHOBH reunion got underway on April Fools’ Day and the women sure delivered foolishness. Seated right next to Andy were Kyle’s signature tendrils and defensiveness. And filling out the couches were Sutton’s projecting, Dorit’s denial, Erika’s narcissism, Boz’s exasperation, and Garcelle’s resignation. Time to charge your crystals in the sun and call on a producer to “roll the tape” on this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

1:28:51

On the RHOBH finale, we go to Saint Lucia for Carnival, but Sutton makes it a whole circus. Everyone, incomprehensibly, fights for/about Kyle’s friendship. And Kathy ices her pits, then pisses her pants, and why is she still on this show?! Time to put on your travel jewelry, get some Oreos from Grandma Garcelle’s pocket, and settle in for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

1:28:59

RHOBH delivered a real Team Nobody episode this week! It was a Masterclass in projection through picking fights, being defensive, and delivering/accepting/rejecting apologies. Kyle’s still annoying, Kathy’s no longer needed, and Sutton was polarizing as ever and straight up ice cold when she dismissed Garcelle & brushed off Jennifer Tilly. Time to toss your clip-ins on the couch, order up some Watermelon Carpaccio (y tho?), and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic dose! The Guest House by Rumi…

1:21:43

On RHOBH, we learn Kyle has laid out some ridiculous rules – speak freely of Mau kissing a young babe, but say nothing about Morgan Wade! While Sutton is fine to abide, we’re with Garcelle – this is weird and annoying! Classic Kyle. Meanwhile, Lael is the most centered & mature teen we’ve ever seen, St. Lucia is as gorgeous as the gal she’s named after, and ohmygod Dorit hire a lawyer!

Sutton’s sustainability fashions were fine. Erika’s new décor is also fine. Everything was just fine. This episode of RHOBH was a study in anti-climactic outcomes, and that was fine by us!

Sutton brings her pocketbook to a principles fight and comes out looking real gross. But not to be out-grossed, Kyle whines to her Therapist/Life Coach about Mauricio living his best life while poor Kyle is left behind to… oh wait, Kyle did it first! She’s fine! Nothing is the matter! She just wants her Morgan, and to eat her Mauricio, too! Meanwhile, Jennifer Tilly rules, Faye Resnick drools, and Erika thinks the valley is cool.

ON RHOBH, Kyle complains some more, Kathy is crazy as ever, Dorit is unraveling before our eyes, Sutton is defensive about the “myth” of her problem drinking, Garcelle stumbles into the party and through her defense of Sutton, Erika obsesses about her annual hot dog, and Boz is a most welcome voice of reason in this deranged “sisterhood.” Time to put gold flakes in your lemonade, leave your dead orchid to rot another day, and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!…

TW - We discuss suicide as it pertains to this week's episode of RHOBH. Sutton became undeniably sympathetic in this episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Kettle One & Ocean Spray might have a hold on anyone who’d been through what she’s been through! In Augusta, Garcelle shows up as the friend we all would want, while Kyle demonstrates, yet again, she is the friend we all could do without. Meanwhile, Dorit makes excuses for PK, Boz makes concessions for Keeley, and Ramona & Margee can’t get enough of Kendrick! Time to obsess over gluten-free breadcrumbs, bitch about ice cubes, discover the parallels between a capsule collection & ground beef, and tune into this week’s A Therapeutic Dose!

On RHOBH, Sutton’s mom, Reba, was as unimpressed by a Saks scarf as she is by her own daughter. Dorit received a 7-page declaration of war. But it was Kyle who wore stupid camo cosplay to handle a firearm and then cry in her ex’s (tattooed!) arms.

56:39

While Kyle proclaims herself to be a butter-less baked potato having a menty-b, most of her RHOBH castmates would characterize her as more of a lying liar who lies, and also a ridiculous hypocrite! And give the editors their flowers for the most satisfying exposé of a liar/victim/martyr we could ever have asked for!

The Sisterhood Serenity Soirée on RHOBH brought us Manly Handz, “mehmes” (Tilly for “memes”), Dorit’s newfound wisdom, and Kyle’s pathological tantrum.

This episode of RHOBH proved that Kyle and Liar are synonyms. It also proved that Boz is 100% the Goddess her name proclaims her to be! Chuck E. Cheese hosted a divorcée/gay panic pizza party, and Martyn Lawrence Bullard blew our minds with his expert observation that real plants are better than fake plants?! Icon.

We dedicate this episode to our beloved Los Angeles. Forever and ever. Kyle was on screen for all of 15 minutes in this week’s RHOBH and she shat the bed in every single one of them. Dorit is done with her and so are we. Sutton needs to tell the Board of the American Ballet Theatre to be on the lookout for Phoenix Kemsley! And Boz brings us Keely on the beach, and delivers us from Sutton’s bullsh*t in the Viper Room. Time to put down the copy of “Star Style” that Martyn Lawrence Bullard handed you and invite Ke$ha to join you for this week’s A Therapeutic Dose! ***WE LOVE YOU, LA***…

The Dorit Dam has burst and a tsunami of righteous resentments flood this episode of RHOBH. Meanwhile, Kyle shamelessly carries on a weird text relationship with PK, Garcelle tries to box out Dorit from Boz, and Sutton pours herself a bottomless Solo Cup of booze. But none of the drama can burst Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly’s billionaire bubbles. Fighting is just entertainment for aristocrats!
