Scheananigans with Scheana Shay

This week, Scheana is joined by astrologer, reality TV personality, and fellow cat mom Ally Lewber. The two unpack Ally’s experience filming Netflix’s “Perfect Match” — from the surprising item production confiscated and potential match Jimmy’s “glow-up bangs,” to sharing her most intimate moments on camera and why she's hesitant to consider doing a dating show again. They also dive into the complicated reality of supporting friends caught in toxic relationship cycles, using the recent SLOMW fallout between Taylor Frankie Paul and Mikayla Matthews as a jumping-off point for a surprisingly raw and emotional conversation about boundaries, enabling, and what actually helps someone leave for good. Ally opens up about why she’s now grateful certain moments from her past relationship played out so publicly, the support system that helped her through it, and her honest reaction to seeing headlines about her ex’s baby news. Elsewhere, Scheana and Ally debate open relationships vs. throuples, whether they’d rather know WHEN or HOW they die, and why Brock once referred to Ally as a “Scientologist to the stars.” Plus, Scheana is not here for the Bravo blogger slander — in fact, she’s giving them their flowers this week.

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 herself audiences rarely get to see, how becoming a mom reshaped her boundaries, and why she’s fully leaning into the delulu in this next chapter. Tune in! Follow us: @scheana @scheananigans Co-Host: @krystinaarielleGuest: @ashleyboalchdarby Purchase your very own copy of the NYT Best-selling book MY GOOD SIDE at www.mygoodsidebook.com!Episode sponsors:Order now at drinkwillies.com and use code SCHEANA for 20% off of your first order + free shipping on orders over $95, and enjoy life in the high country.Get organized, refreshed, and back on track this new year for WAY less.

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 they meet her in real life. And yes—she addresses Bravo hookups, being waitlisted on Raya, and potential crossovers.

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. She answers your questions about motherhood, internet trolls, and what the future may hold — including when you might see her back on your screens again.

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, healing — and Heather at her most candid. Follow us: @scheana @scheananigans Co-Host: @brockGuest: @heathergay Purchase your very own copy of the NYT Best-selling book MY GOOD SIDE at www.mygoodsidebook.com!Episode sponsors:Get last-minute hosting essentials, gifts for all your loved ones, and decor to celebrate the holidays for WAY less.

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 along with?

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. Scheana shares how Brock tore his Achilles pushing a truck by himself (“he thinks he’s Thor”) and will be hobbling (or wheeled) around the convention center this year. 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. Then things take a spicy turn as they unpack Haley Kalil’s viral confession about her ex’s, uh, superhuman proportions—and why bigger isn’t always better. It’s the perfect blend of Bravo gossip, humor, and heart.
