I recorded this episode a few weeks ago, not realizing how long it would be and how long it would take to edit alongside a busy July work schedule. I talk a lot about other shows - Next Gen NYC, The Valley, etc - so if you're not interested, maybe skip 1 hour in? I do think you'll find this episode about #17 housewife Lisa Wu Hartwell interesting though! She was an early cast member of Atlanta, and continued to make appearances on the show over the years. But it's what she's done outside of the show that's keeping her fueled and going a thousand miles a minute, even today. Enjoy!

Holy cow! Did not have a divorce filing for Denise Richards and husband, Aaron, on my bingo card for this year, yet here we are. Apparently, Aaron hasn't worked since he sold his wellness center and Denise makes $250,000 a MONTH on Only Fans? What?? More info is coming in, as we speak, so I will keep you posted. Janet, from the Valley, had to MOVE to Switzerland, due to death threats? Come on, girl... You're more dramatic than Sheana Shay, which I never thought I would say lol. And finally, we've come to our Number 16 housewife, Kim Zolciak - wow, what a long episode and I didn't even get into the "part 2" article I wanted to share about her feud with Nene Leakes over the years. We WILL get to more of that as we move through Season 1 of Atlanta. Trust me, it will all play out quickly!

You guys! I can't believe it's been over a year since I posted last. As I explain in this episode, I had a lot going on - one "distraction" actually had me in Atlanta, believe it or not, quite a bit! But my biggest accomplishment was clocking over 80 episodes of my OTHER podcast, Labeled Organizing, which is a supplement to my business: Labeled Organizing. But back to reality TV!! I have thought about NeNe's episode for a LONG time and, after months had gone by, I felt more pressure than ever to make sure her episode was "Gooood, Hunney." [Double shoulder, double snap lol.] But I think I did it well! I certainly couldn't even BEGIN to cover all of her accomplishments over the years, but the bigger goal was getting back to this podcast and getting her story - and ALL of their stories - out there for all of you to hear... because unless you were an original viewer of this franchise, you'll never understand the complexity of these relationships unless... You go back in time and... Re-introduce yourself. [wink] Enjoy!

Who's ready for Atlanta??? I sure am... Some of the "best" Housewives over the years have come out of this franchise and I'm excited to begin "introducing" the ones who made up the cast of Season 1. On today's episode, we are covering DeShawn Snow - wife of NBA player, Eric Snow. We talk about her introduction on the show, their new mansion at the time, how she featured the first in-home beauty salon (do we think she started the glam trend?) and ultimately, their divorce and where she is now.

In this episode, we're wrapping up our last housewife to be introduced from Season 1 of the Real Housewives of New York. That is the one and only Countess... LuAnn de Lesseps! In 2018, she was voted the #1 Housewife (out of 46 that were on screen that year) by TV Guide; however, many in 2024 would still list her as one of their top favorites of all time. On the pod, we cover everything from her introduction on the show, to getting divorced (just the first time), getting arrested and making the ultimate comeback with spin-offs and tours and trips - Oh my!

I would also like to note that I made a little "oopsie" in Alex's episode (so sorry!) and I correct all of that here. I also talk about where we're heading next: Season 1 of Atlanta. So, come get caught up with us as we reintroduce ourselves to the Real Housewives of ALL cities, as well as the full cast of Southern Charm - all in chronological order of how they were introduced to us.

Happy 2024 Everyone! It's already been an exciting (you could call it that) adventure for me, just in the first two weeks of the new year, but luckily, I have all of you and this fun little project to return to after many weeks away.

Today, we're going to talk about our No. 12 housewife: Alex McCord. Alex was on the FIRST season of RHONY and provided a unique perspective of the group, as she lived in Brooklyn at the time. She was also one of the first housewives to truly team up with her husband on this wild ride that is "The Housewives." (Simon became just as excited - if not more excited - to be in front of the camera.) And they are still married today, which is amazing considering how many couples fell apart, right in front of our eyes.

She's the Queen "B" of Reality TV AND one of the first people to make millions off of it! Of course, we're talking about Bethenny Frankel. As we continue with Season 1 of the Real Housewives of New York, we see how the now Entrepreneur, Author, Podcaster and YouTuber started out as a true underdog of the franchise. In her introduction, we see her with Jason (#1) then I talk Jason #2, her daughter, friendships and fights with other castmates... How she went from a childhood at the horse track to landing a RHONY contract with only $8k to her name to becoming a household name that's (almost) as well known as Martha Stewart.

Surprise! (Insert strong NY accent lol)

It’s the 10th housewife in our project, the OG of the R-H-O-N-Y: Jill Zarin! This one was fun, because Jill is always just so full of life and seeing her back in Episode 1 of Season 1 of the Real Housewives of New York, brought back a lot of great memories for me.

Join me in this episode, where I take you back to her introduction on the show, as well as Bobby and Ally’s, then we cover where she’s at today with motherhood, her love life, and, of course, all of her “fabulous” brands.
