Ayahuasca enthusiast, Shep Rose Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

If you want to know where S.E. will be on Thursday Dec. 12, look no further than the Bravo schedule and the debut of the new season of Southern Charm. Who better, then, to have on the show this week than Bravolebrity and friend, Shep Rose! The Southern Charm charmer talks about the upcoming season, dishes on some hot Bravo goss, and talks about what makes Southern Charm different from Bravo's slate of reality TV. S.E. also asks some tough questions about some public moments of debauchery and Shep's journey to confront the "wild animal" inside of him. Before the episode is up, Shep pretty much talks S.E. into going on her own Ayahuasca journey after going deep into his own life-changing experience.

Kelly Rizzo on love, loss, and maybe moving to Italy Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

This Thanksgiving week, S.E. brings on blogger, travel host and the Comfort Food podcast host, Kelly Rizzo. Kelly started the Comfort Food podcast in 2022 after her husband, comedian Bob Saget, died suddenly. That terrible moment and year threw the newlywed into an identity crisis. But through grief, she leaned on the things she loves — food, travel, and music — to find her sense of self again. S.E. and Kelly talk about how she and Bob met (the real story) and their hilarious honeymoon. Kelly also brings S.E. back to the day she got the call that Bob was found dead in a hotel room in Florida while on tour. S.E. and Kelly talk about dealing with anxiety when tragedy strikes, the grief journey, and how she managed to re-enter the dating pool with another 90s acting icon (and what Bob would think of it all). Kelly's podcast Comfort Food is on hiatus, but she just launched a new membership support group called Comfort Club. Check it out!
