Jamie takes a break from the Bravo universe to share this unofficial "first episode" of the podcast (recorded three years ago!) and welcomes gifted astrologer/dream interpreter/therapist Dr. Michael Lennox to share his insights on how to work with astrology in a grounded, practical way. This cosmic deep-dive explores actionable spiritual hacks for making clear decisions, getting your unconscious demons to actually align with your conscious desires, constructively working with anxiety, using your most difficult life circumstances as a gateway to your deeper evolution, and so much more.

Jamie welcomes Piper Sample back to the podcast to see what Erika Jayne's current scandals might be revealing about her inner emotional landscape. Together, they explore Erika's relationship to the very nature of performance, the blurred lines between her actual life and the roles she has played on stage and screen, the hollowness of the "Erika Jayne" persona, how past conflicts with Dorit/PK and Teddi Mellencamp energetically predicted what she is going through today, the refusal to feel a core humiliation that is perhaps powering all of her internal divisions, and much, much more. Though it all, Jamie and Piper continually seek to answer the questions, "What is Erika meant to learn from all this...?" and "How can Erika use this ordeal as a gateway to her truer, higher self...?"

Jamie welcomes actress, writer, comedienne and Montage Queen Deanna Cheng to the pod for a two-for-one special: first, they roll up their sleeves and dig into this latest difficult season of "The Real Housewives of New York City" - the lack of cast cohesion, the severe emotional limitations of several of the OG's, Bershan's role as the surprising catalyst for individual and group revelation, and much more; they then pivot for an odyssey into Sonja Morgan's inner landscape - her covert entitlement, her latent need to be rescued, how she feels about JP Morgan today, her relationship to the townhouse and, oh yes, the revealing lawsuit that never quite gets explored with any clarity or specificity (until now).

In this solo episode, Jamie explores why Sutton Stracke was so deeply triggered by the ladies' birthday gift to Garcelle, how Tom Girardi justified his theft from his clients/victims, and what Kathy Hilton may have intended in "innocently" invoking the "Tomassina" moniker... --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Jamie is joined by returning guest Haneefah Wood and podcaster/life coach Chanel Creating to discuss Porsha Williams' recent scandalous engagement and all of the attendant issues that come up as a result. This episode ventures into Porsha's many different incarnations on The Real Housewives of Atlanta - dutiful housewife, Princess of Thotlandia, slinger of criminal accusations, social justice advocate and the target of slut shaming - and what these different faces just might be revealing about Porsha's unconscious landscape.

Jamie offers his first-ever solo episode, dropping into the latest conflicts rocking the Housewives universe: he first channels what's really triggering Sutton Stracke about Crystal Minkoff on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, next channels Crystal's deeper feelings about Sutton, and then rounds it all out by channeling Leah McSweeney's core issues with Heather Thomson on The Real Housewives of New York City. This is a quick-and-dirty, rough-and-raw, minimally-edited episode filled with concentrated doses of empathic information.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Jamie welcomes good friend and fellow podcaster Jess Rothschild, host of Hot Takes & Deep Dives, to explore her undying, unapologetic love for ultimate Housewives icon Bethenny Frankel. Together, they explore the highs and lows of all things Bethenny - why she will likely never reach the visionary heights of entrepreneurs like Martha Stewart or Oprah, why she remains obsessed with fame for fame?s sake, why Jason Hoppy was actually a ?perfect? relationship for her on an unconscious level, the delirious ride of The Big Shot with Bethenny, and much, much more. This episode is very much a love letter to Housewives fandom, celebrating the ways in which we find ourselves drawn to certain Bravolebrities, warts and all, and how we can come to love and accept certain personalities completely on their own terms. Be sure to follow Jess at @jessxnyc and subscribe to her podcast Hot Takes & Deep Dives.

The time has come: Piper Sample returns to the pod to help Jamie deep dive the emotional energy underneath Jen Shah's conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Together, they're intuitively dropping into Jen's attitude toward her victims, how she justifies her actions in her mind and why she holds the idea of an honest living in such deep contempt. Additional topics include Jen's social media presence since her arrest, how her relationships to her ancestry and the Mormon church have possibly influenced her deceptive acts and the level of Coach Shah's awareness of her crimes. The pod also tackles larger philosophical topics such as why both Jamie and Piper had previously overlooked Jen's more problematic behavior as well as the underlying creative energy that lives inside even the most destructive impulses.

Jamie is once again joined by guest Piper Sample, this time to take a closer look at what exactly was driving the heated conflict between Lisa Barlow and Heather Gay at The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City reunion. Here we have a tale of two Mormons living their religion very differently - each one vying for control in her life but with remarkably contrasting styles that bump up against the other?s deepest defenses. Major themes include self-betrayal, fear of attack, the price paid for always being ?good,? and the unrelenting demand for everyone to see you in the exact way you want to be seen. The episode  also takes a detour into Jen Shah?s volatile temper and the role that her relationship to her culture plays in the season?s most explosive conflicts.

Jamie welcomes dynamic actress, writer and certified therapist Haneefah Wood to the pod and they fully descend into the heart of the explosive conflict between Monique Samuels and Cadiace Dillard on The Real Housewives of Potomac. Together they explore the inner struggles and projections that led this volatile duo to their final tipping point on that fateful night at the winery - an odyssey into Monique's perfectionism, deep fear of annihilation, disowned vulnerability and Cadiace's stunted life force energy, unresolved issues with her mother and deep need to be seen and heard by others. This episode is all about peeling back the external layers of the sensationalistic conflict to find the more nuanced subtext driving each woman's anger toward the other - and ultimately finding the unlikely unconscious point of connection that actually exists between them.

Jamie welcomes Lara Marie Schoenhals, creator and host of the iconic Sexy Unique Podcast, to take a look back at the previous season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and dismantle what exactly was going on beneath the surface of the convoluted Denise Richards drama heard around the world. It's an intrepid journey that both navigates the cast's inner workings (including Lisa Rinna's cutthroat hustle, Teddi Mellencamp's drive to hold others accountable for their actions and Aaron Phyper's simmering rage) as well as aims to answer the philosophical question of why RHoBH has felt stuck in the same gear for the last few seasons (and what would be required to jumpstart it back to its original glory).

Kim B. knows deep down that her soul longs to live and work in Paris, but she has spent years unable to make a clean break from her current place of residence in Los Angeles (she literally likens LA to the "abusive husband" that she somehow cannot escape). Kim comes to Jamie thinking it's a simple matter of "figuring out" the exact right time and place to finally make her move, but soon discovers that it's actually a much deeper issue of her relationship to her own heart.

Jamie welcomes good friend and brilliant colleague Piper Sample to deep dive the role that alcohol played on the past season of "The Real Housewives of New York City." They take a good, hard look at Dorinda Medley, Leah McSweeney and Luann de Lesseps - each woman's specific relationship to alcohol and what this relationship reveals about both their emotional makeup as well as their deeper essences as human beings.
