Scheananigans With Scheana Shay

Scheana and her “Payroll Husband” Brock are joined by Kristin Gallant and Deena Margolin, the parenting coach and child therapist duo behind the viral parenting hub Big Little Feelings, for an honest, real-time parenting workshop packed with practical tools and relatable moments. From toddler meltdowns to emotional shutdowns, they break down what’s actually happening developmentally — and why big feelings aren’t bad behavior (or a sign you’re raising a “spoiled” kid). Scheana and Brock open up about postpartum OCD, co-sleeping conversations, differing parenting styles, and the very real weight of mom and dad guilt — including balancing career opportunities with being present for milestones. The conversation also dives into raising a child in the public eye, handling social media commentary, and the one parenting shift everyone should start today. Plus, the BLF duo debunks the biggest toddler myths, shares their go-to meltdown scripts, and reminds every parent of one powerful truth: you’re doing

This week, Scheana welcomes Kiki Monique and Ryan Bailey back to the studio. From Lunar New Year superstitions (no sweeping, no black outfits, and Kristen Doute on strict “don’t break anything” watch) to baby prep and psychic readings from the other side, nothing is off limits. Ryan reveals his baby girl’s name and jokes that karma may have caught up with him after once spilling Summer Moon’s name before Scheana was ready. They also compare birth plans versus delivery-room reality (because sometimes sh*t goes out the window… or on the table). Then it’s a deep dive into Netflix’s Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model. Kiki admits she used to be one of Tyra’s biggest defenders — until this documentary reframed everything. The trio unpacks reality TV’s pressure machine, accountability, and body commentary culture, as Scheana reflects on her own experiences on Reality TV, and explains why stepping away from it can be the only way to grow. Plus, they discuss Dorinda stepping up after Jill’s

It’s a Galentine’s celebration this week as Scheana’s dear friends Maddie and Cristi join her in the studio for a conversation that’s raw, reflective, and full of heart. Scheana opens up about past friendship fractures, taking accountability, the roots of her people-pleasing tendencies, and how childhood trauma shaped her relationship with intimacy and self-worth. The trio also dive into the Super Bowl, from favorite commercials to the backlash surrounding Bad Bunny’s halftime show, and how some of the reactions revealed deeper cultural blind spots (especially among a couple ignorant Housewives). They defend North West’s creativity, address online bullying, and call out the harsh criticism aimed at Olympic athletes, reminding us that maybe it’s time we start being better to each other. It’s an honest, unfiltered conversation about growth, healing, and finding friendships that feel safe, supportive, and unconditional — a Galentine’s episode celebrating the women who show up when you need them most.&n

This week, Scheana and co-host Krystina Arielle are joined by Real Housewives of Potomac OG Ashley Darby for an unfiltered conversation about life on—and off—camera. Ahead of the Season 10 reunion, Ashley spills on cast dynamics, including who came armed with the best receipts, which cast member she believes might be paying bloggers, and why, despite insisting Stacey is a liar, she’d still trust her most with her phone passcode. Ashley also clears the air on some of the season’s biggest storylines, shares behind-the-scenes tea from the upcoming RHUGT, opens up about whether she’d ever dip her toes back into the Bravo dating pool, and reveals what really sparked her long-standing beef with Adriana from RHOM. Beyond the drama, Ashley gets deeply real about motherhood, sharing when she first realized something wasn’t right postpartum, the shame surrounding postpartum depression, and what ultimately helped pull her through. She also opens up about the side of hers

Attachment styles are everywhere — but what do they actually mean, and how much do they shape the way we love? This week, Scheana is joined by leading attachment theory expert Thais Gibson (founder of The Personal Development School) to break down the four attachment styles, why our adult relationships mirror our earliest bonds, and how insecurity shows up in communication, conflict, and connection. Scheana opens up about learning she’s securely attached, while her husband Brock discovered he has a fearful avoidant attachment style — sparking an honest conversation about what it really takes to make different styles work together. Thais explains why attachment styles aren’t fixed, how patterns like people-pleasing, self-sabotage, and emotional withdrawal form, and what actually helps move toward secure attachment. This episode isn’t about labels or blame — it’s about awareness, responsibility, and doing the work. If you’ve ever wondered why certain relationship patterns keep repeating, this con

From Shahs of Sunset to her return on The Valley: Persian Style, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi opens up about what she learned during her time away from reality TV cameras, why coming back feels different this time around, and why she turned down other TV opportunities like “The Traitors.” She talks motherhood, growth, and how becoming a mom has reshaped her priorities both on and off camera. Golnesa also breaks down her life today—from where she’s living and her daily routine to going into business with both of her ex-husbands, including how she got started on OnlyFans and what people get wrong about it. She gets candid about relationships, revisits what really happened with her ex-husband Dennis and the friend betrayal that followed, and shares where things stand now. Plus, Golnesa dishes on The Valley: Persian Style, her evolving friendships with Reza and MJ, who from Shahs of Sunset she’d like to see make an appearance on the new show, and why people are often surprised when the

This week, Scheana and Kiki Monique are back together for their first episode of 2026, catching up after the holidays. Kiki rang in the New Year in Mexico, while Scheana headed to a wellness retreat—where tuning out Brock was easier than tuning out thoughts about one former friend during a sound bath.They break down Golden Globes highlights, millennial trauma flashbacks, fast-food nostalgia, and the eyebrow-raising facial chlamydia outbreak among the 1% in St. Barths. Scheana and Kiki also react to the news that Katie Ginella won’t be returning to RHOC, and Scheana opens up about navigating playdates for Summer Moon when the moms aren’t exactly on good terms.Plus, why does Scheana admit she might not be built for The Traitors?

This week, Scheana is answering your listener questions and catching you up on a holiday season that was equal parts magical and chaotic — including a hit-and-run, a broken window, two surgeries, and a holiday that is still not over yet for the Davies household (darn those naughty elves). Scheana reflects on some of her favorite VPR moments, clears up some long-standing misconceptions, and opens up about what stepping away from reality TV has taught her. She also dishes on finding (and setting) boundaries, seasoned vs seasonal friendships, mental health, and why her healing era is her happiest one yet.

Must-Have Merkins, Milk Meltdowns & Merry MayhemScheana and Kiki close out 2025 with equal parts heartbreak and humor, unpacking the year’s biggest pop culture moments — from Kim Kardashian’s merkins and Katy Perry’s space performance to the Coldplay kiss-cam couple, KPop Demon Hunters’ domination, and the tragic events occurring this week with the mass shootings at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration and Brown University, along with the heartbreaking loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. They also tackle lighter chaos: missing nails, the holiday traditions they’re breaking this year, Nick Viall’s plane-seat fiasco, and whether lying about Santa will inevitably mess up your kid. Scheana opens up about one of her toughest parenting moments yet before the duo dives into the eeriness of kids having paranormal experiences “before the veil lifts.” A heartfelt, hilarious, and perfectly chaotic wrap-up to an unforgettable year. Follow us: @scheana @scheananigans Co-Host: @thetalkofshame&

This week, Scheana and Brock sit down with Heather Gay to unpack her powerful new docuseries Surviving Mormonism. Heather shares how the project came to life, how being a “Bad Mormon” has impacted her business and personal relationships, and the legal threats she’s faced—even from within her own family. She and Brock compare their experiences growing up in the Church, from tithing while living below the poverty line to the pressure of securing a bishop’s approval just to get into BYU (including why Brock’s bishop refused). They dig into why so many former members describe the institution as fear-based and silencing, and they might have even cracked the code for why Mormons make such great reality TV stars! Plus, Scheana and Heather dive into the RHOSLC questions fans are dying to have answered: Will we ever get clarity on the infamous plane incident? Does Lisa Barlow actually have Global Entry? And now that Jen Shah is out of prison, is Heather open to reconnecting? Tune in for truth, humor, he

This week, Chanel Ayan joins Scheana for a conversation that is equal parts glam, grounded, and absolutely unhinged in the best way. They dish on some of Chanel’s most viral moments from BravoCon (like accidentally matchmaking Paige DeSorbo with one of ex Craig’s Southern Charm cast members), and she proves once again why she’s reality TV gold. The two also get real about the side of Chanel the world doesn’t always see — the young mom who battled postpartum depression, the loyal friend who shows up when it matters, and the entrepreneur whose beauty brand has even caught the attention of Anna Wintour. Of course, there’s plenty of Bravo tea: Chanel’s take on the Tamra/Katie drama, Sonja Morgan confusing her for Kiki Barth, and what Scheana’s ex-husband really thinks about her still using his last name. They dive into the future of “Real Housewives of Dubai” (is it coming back?!), PLUS the other Housewives franchise that asked Chanel to film. And which Bravo star does she reveal is the hardest to get a

Plus, why was Shep yelling in the hotel bar, what was going on between Lindsay Hubbard and Tom Sandoval and his girlfriend Victoria, unexpected new friendships, and Kiki’s appeal for Mary Cosby to unblock her…but why did she get blocked in the first place?

This week, Krystina Arielle is back in the studio with Scheana discussing everything from who they are excited to see at BravoCon to bedroom compatibility.

They also dive into the latest RHONJ tea, discussing which cast members might be returning, plus what psychics got wrong about Kim Kardashian’s Bar Exam. The two get real about parenting meltdowns, emotional regulation, and why a child’s breakdown can actually mean you’re doing something right, not wrong.

She also opens up about when cameras could start rolling again for the new season of RHONY, the tension between the OG and reboot casts (and which former Housewife she’d actually welcome back), and why her former costar Brynn blocked her on social media. Scheana and Erin dive deep into marriage, infidelity, and what it really takes to rebuild trust after betrayal — with Scheana sharing her own experience navigating Brock’s affair.
