He opens up to us about the daily struggles he faces now that he’s out, the misconceptions people have and how he plans to help others like him. Listen and get involved!

Kelly Dodd Doesn't Keep Her Opinions to Herself Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Ever wonder what it would be like to always speak your mind? Today's guest never has to wonder, because that's exactly what she does!

Kelly Dodd is known for being opinionated to a fault. Sometimes it makes you laugh, sometimes it makes you cringe and sometimes it gets her in hot water, which always made for great TV!

On The Real Housewives of Orange County you could always count on Kelly for the perfect sound bite, and on her show she co-hosts with her husband Rick Leventhal, The Daily Smash, that hasn't changed.

Kelly and Rachel gossip about dating, pop culture and RHOC. And as only Kelly can do, she never holds back. Take a listen!

Content Creator Meredith Lynch Takes Us On A Deep Dive Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

People online love to breakdown pop culture, but nobody does it quite like today's guest, Meredith Lynch.

Meredith became a Tik Tok star doing deep dives into questionable behavior by celebrities and beauty brands, so much so that she was served with two cease and desist letters. She exposed Rachel Zoe's subscription boxes, Bethenny Frankel's list of trademarks, and how private equity uses our data, and just wait until you hear what she's working on next!

We got her hot takes on the PR strategies behind Mila and Ashton's apology and Russell Brand's latest video, how she got invited to Kathy Griffin's salon lunches and what Kanye's next move is. You are gonna love this one... take a listen!

Get Influenced by Carrie Berk Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

She published her first book before she was 10 years old and now with many more to her credit, Carrie Berk is releasing her latest and greatest, My Real Life Rom Com.

With over 900,000 followers on Instagram and almost 4 million on TikToK, to say Carrie is an Influencer is an understatement. Her exercise videos and beauty reviews launched her on social media, but it's her work with Nobully.org that speaks the loudest. She is an incredible advocate, and speaks the language of youth culture making her relatable to teens everywhere.

She opens up about her new memoir, her experiences on reality TV and gives us tips on what makes a great Social Media Influencer. Listen up and take notes!

Medically Assisted Suicide - Dying with Dignity Sep 14, 2023

Show notes

Judith Bishop breaks down the misconceptions of legalized assisted suicide for the terminally ill.

Judith spent her career as a midwife, helping bring countless babies into the world. Although she retired, she was not done helping families. Now she helps them in a different way, she volunteers to aid individuals who are terminally ill with ending their life through legalized assisted suicide.

We discuss Brittany Maynard, a young woman, who brought the difficult subject matter to the forefront when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and decided it was the right decision for her and for her family. The country followed her story as she was forced to move to Oregon in order to do it legally.

Judith brings humanity to this very hot button issue, allowing us a behind the scenes look at the doctors and patients behind the headlines. Some might not agree with what she does, or those who choose to do it, but it’s an incredible story worth listening to and learning from.

Rudy Giuliani, America's Mayor, tells his very personal story of 9/11, as we all pledge to "never forget". Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

Today's episode features the former Mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani, and some very personal stories told by Rachel Uchitel, who lost her fiance in the world trade center when she was just 26 years old.

On this anniversary of 9/11, we pay homage to those lives lost and those who survived. Whatever your feelings are towards the Rudy Giuliani of today, no one can take away the enormous impact he had on this country on 9/11 and the months following. He was a leader, a voice of reason, he was a hero. Take a listen!

Eric Nies guides us through “The Real World” of Ayahuasca Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

“The Real World” debuted on MTV in the spring of 1992 and changed the face of television. We all wanted to be a “stranger” picked to live in a “house” and have our lives taped. This week’s guest, Eric Nies, was one of those lucky strangers who started it all!

He skyrocketed to fame and experienced the good and the bad. His journey took him to a very unexpected place when he found the healing powers of Ayahuasca.

Eric shares how Ayahuasca came into his life and how he’s dedicated himself to bringing his knowledge and spirituality to those in need.

If you’ve ever been curious about this much talked about plant medicine you are in the right place!

Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson: His Journey From Crazy Hollywood Nights to Helping Others. Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

Growing up a true California kid, Jeremy Jackson wanted nothing more than to be an entertainer, and as Hobie on the iconic “Baywatch,” he did just that. He worked alongside David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson during the show's explosion. He opens up to Rachel about the dark side of fame, the high highs and the very low lows, and how each misstep brought him to exactly where he’s supposed to be. Jeremy talks about his addiction issues and how he found his way out. It’s a raw and unfiltered conversation that inspires and can’t be missed.
