BESTIES. STASSI SCHROEDER IS HERE.

The woman. The icon. The mother of reality television. The person many of us have watched, quoted, defended, occasionally screamed at through our televisions, and essentially grown up alongside is sitting down with us for one of our biggest episodes ever.

And she tells us EVERYTHING.

In this exclusive conversation, Stassi takes us behind the scenes of her highly anticipated new show, House of Stassi, including what really happens between her and Beau, why filming became the most effective form of therapy she has ever had, and the finale she says is absolutely insane.

She opens up about rebuilding her entire life after leaving Vanderpump Rules, the unexpected way her reality television comeback came together, filming with her mom despite their deeply complicated history, and why Beau took her request for “complete honesty” on camera much further than she anticipated.

We also talk about the side of motherhood people rarely admit out loud: dreading the weekends, feeling bored during the baby stage, going back to work two weeks postpartum because she was terrified of feeling isolated again, and the guilt she carried when Beau became the primary parent.

Plus: her Sports Illustrated runway era, the cosmetic procedure she got at 17, the beauty trend she refuses to participate in, her current Bravo-adjacent obsession, and the surprising truth about what Stassi is actually like when the cameras stop rolling.

This is Stassi at her funniest, most honest, and most unfiltered, and she gives us an exclusive look at the marriage, family dynamics, friendships, and behind-the-scenes reality TV moments everyone is about to be talking about.

Cancel your plans. Put the kids to bed. We are transcending today.

If you've been watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, this is the conversation you've been waiting for. Amanda Frances joins us fresh off her first season on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills to pull back the curtain on what it was really like stepping into one of the biggest reality shows on TV with no strategy, no Bravo game plan, and honestly... no idea what she was getting herself into.

We talk about what filming is actually like, what surprised her most, the moments that never made sense until she was living them, and how she learned to find her voice in a room where everyone else seemed to know the rules except her. But this episode goes way beyond Housewives. Amanda opens up about motherhood, building a wildly successful business, hiring help without guilt, navigating internet hate, and the neurodivergence journey that completely changed how she understands herself.

It's one of those conversations that starts with Bravo and somehow ends up being about motherhood, identity, success, and staying true to yourself. In this episode, we cover:

- What it's really like filming The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

- The behind-the-scenes moments Bravo fans never get to see

- The surprising moment Amanda finally found her voice on the show

- Mom guilt, childcare, and why asking for help feels so hard

- Building a successful business while raising young kids

- The truth about internet criticism, and how she protects her peace

- ADHD, masking, neurodivergence, and the identity shift that changed everything

Some seasons of parenting just ask more of you. Maybe your partner travels or works nights. Maybe you’re simply carrying more than your fair share right now and navigating a period where you're parenting solo. Whatever your reality is, this episode is for you!

Deena, who is in this season of life right now, gets real about what it's actually like parenting three kids while her husband is away nearly half the month. There’s guilt, overwhelm, panic, and even resentment creeping in…but there’s also routines that have made it feel more manageable. She walks through EVERYTHING that has helped her surivive parenting while her husband is away and Kristin helps to unpack that guilt that so she (and so many parents) carries.

We cover:

- Why lowering your standards during hard seasons isn't "giving up”, it's actually helping you show up as a calmer and more present parent.

- Simple ways to eliminate decision fatigue (including the meal routines that Kristin and Deena swear by).

- How to make bedtime, housework, and everyday life feel a little less overwhelming when you’re solo parenting.

- Why movie nights and “”no pressure” parenting deserve way less guilt than we've been taught.

- The small mindset shifts that help you protect your own energy, stay regulated, and make solo parenting feel more sustainable over time.

You'll walk away knowing how to make every part of solo parenting feel just a little bit lighter, learn wh lowering the bar can actually make you a more present parent, and which small routines take the pressure off when you're carrying so much on your own. And we can almost guarantee you'll find yourself giving yourself permission to let something go this week….and feeling better because of it.

Why does your child completely shut down anytime you bring up feelings? Should you actually ignore tantrums... or is that some of the worst parenting advice we've been given? And if your child is potty trained during the day but still having accidents at night... is something wrong?

In this Q&A episode, we're answering the parenting questions we hear over and over again—the ones that leave even thoughtful, loving parents second-guessing themselves and wondering if they're getting it all wrong.

We cover:

- Nighttime potty training (and what's actually developmentally normal)

- Whether you should ignore tantrums (spoiler: we have thoughts)

- What to do when your child refuses to talk about their feelings

- Why some kids completely shut down when emotions come up

- Healthy ways to help kids express anger instead of stuffing it down

- How to build emotional intelligence without making your child feel pressured or overwhelmed

- The science behind why connection, not punishment, is what actually helps kids learn emotional regulation

You'll walk away knowing exactly what actually helps kids build emotional regulation, why anger deserves a complete rebrand, and how the way many of us were raised is still shaping the way we parent today. And we can almost guarantee there's one idea in this episode that you'll think about during your child's very next meltdown, and it'll change how you respond.

Plus:

Kristin and Deena discover they are complete opposites when it comes to movie theaters, sleepovers, and basically existing as humans, Deena explains why she'd happily skip every girls' trip forever, and Kristin has a surprisingly emotional realization about anger that might just change the way you think about your own emotions, too.

Our feeds are full of magical summer moments, bucket lists, and family vacations that look effortless and picture perfect so it's easy to feel like we're not doing enough.

In this hilarious episode, Kristin and Deena are playing “F*ck Yeah or F*ck No" to all of this summer's biggest trends—from hotel pool passes and reading romance novels to Labubus, camping chairs, creatine, pickleball, backyard movie nights, and everything in between.

In this episode, you'll hear:

* The summer trends Kristin and Deena are fully embracing (and the ones they're absolutely not).

* Why staying home might actually create better family memories than chasing the "perfect" vacation.

* The simple mindset shift that takes the pressure off creating the "best summer ever."

* Why saying no might be the healthiest trend of all this year.

So lower the pressure, laugh along with us, and tell us which summer trends you're saying "F*ck Yeah" to... and which ones you're leaving behind.

If your house sounds like a WWE match in a bounce house all summer long... this episode is for you. The arguing. The tattling. The screaming from the other room. The constant feeling that you've spent the last three hours breaking up fights and saying, "GUYS. PLEASE. JUST STOP." Most parents think sibling fighting means something is wrong. What if it's actually one of the most important relationships your child will ever have?

In this episode, Kristin and Deena are giving you the exact roadmap for what to do when your kids won't stop fighting (hello summer) and the surprisingly common parenting mistake that can make sibling conflict even worse.

You'll learn:

• When to step in... and when to stay out of it
• Why playing detective ("Who started it?!") backfires
• What to say in the moment when things are escalating
• The simple shift that helps kids actually solve problems together
• The science-backed way to reduce sibling rivalry before it starts
• How to teach the social skills your kids need for life, not just for summer

By the end of this episode, you'll understand what's really happening beneath the sibling chaos, exactly how to respond, and how to raise kids who can disagree, repair, and stay connected—even when they're driving each other absolutely insane. This isn't just about the summer, it's about creating the groundwork for a lifelong healthy sibling dynamic and closeness.

If you've ever hidden in the pantry eating snacks while your kids scream at each other in the next room... press play immediately. This episode might save your summer.

If you’re a true crime girlie, stop what you’re doing and press play. Because this conversation with Dateline’s Andrea Canning is one of those episodes you’ll be thinking about long after it’s over. Andrea has spent more than a decade interviewing killers, sitting with grieving families, and uncovering what really happened behind the closed doors of seemingly “perfect” lives. In this episode, she reveals the relationship patterns she sees over and over again, the red flags she wishes more women would trust, why women are so fascinated by true crime in the first place, and the case that still haunts her to this day.

But this isn’t just an episode about murder mysteries. It’s also about motherhood. Because Andrea is raising six kids while building a career most of us can only dream about. We talk honestly about mom guilt, ambition, traveling for work, freezer-pop-induced breakdowns, teenagers who want absolutely nothing to do with you, and the surprising freedom that comes with realizing you don’t have to do everything perfectly.

This episode will make you laugh, give you chills, validate your experience as a working mom, and might just change the way you think about trusting your instincts.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

● Why women are so obsessed with true crime (Andrea’s answer is fascinating)

● The relationship red flags that show up again and again in Dateline cases

● The heartbreaking case Andrea still can’t stop thinking about

● What interviewing victims’ families has taught her about humanity

● How she’s navigated motherhood while building an extraordinary career

● The permission every mom needs to hear about evolving, growing, and pursuing something that’s just for you

If you’ve ever listened to Dateline while unloading the dishwasher… if you’ve ever wondered, How did nobody see this coming? … if you’ve ever struggled with the impossible balance of motherhood and ambition… you need this episode.

Seriously. Don’t save this one for later.
