Their conversation weaves through the last 22 years between both shows - including early experiences of being antagonized and abandoned by production, how The Real World played into his predestined dark night of the soul, the way in which Homecomingunwittingly became the reckoning between "old" vs "new" reality TV and, most important, how this latest project helped Danny reclaim his original experience in a way that coalesced deeper themes, patterns and lessons that he was meant to master in this lifetime.

What is fact and what is fiction when it comes to Teal? Where exactly is the line between Teal's genuine power and her seeming delusions?

"The Real World" occupies a legendary place in the annals of reality TV, and so it is only fitting that Jamie should welcome two legendary podcasters - Taria S. Faison of "What Else Is Going On?" and Ryan Bailey of "So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey" - to break down this latest season of "RW Homecoming." Our intrepid trio navigates a wide range of topics including the exact moment in which this cast tends to sabotage its very desire for deeper connection, the underground energy (both personal and systemic) fueling the past and present conflicts between Tami Roman and David Edwards, whether Jon Brennan has fulfilled or sidestepped his life's calling in his role as a humble pastor, whether we should fully trust the public face presented by Irene Berrera-Kearns, and much more.

The inquiry into Sarah's specific line of work soon evolves into a larger conversation about how all people might consciously cultivate their own intuitive gifts, how to create safety through strong energetic boundaries, what it means to take empowered self-responsibility for the circumstances of your life without victim-blaming yourself, the different roles played by destiny and free will in the fulfillment of our spiritual life tasks, and much, much more.

Jamie and Piper honor the completion of this latest season of Vanderpump Rules with a deep-dive into the complicated and oftentimes polarizing Tom Sandoval. Together, they explore the unconscious energy behind his over-obsessive attention to detail, what's at the heart of his tendency to go above and beyond for his friends, his ambivalent relationship to masculine and feminine energy both inside and outside of himself, how Lisa Vanderpump just might be recreating long-standing dynamics with his mother and much, much more. The conversation concludes with a tarot card pulled for Tom.

With cults becoming a hot topic in the Housewives universe, it seemed like the right time to drop this previously-unreleased episode: Jamie welcomes good friend of the pod Piper Sample and founder of Radical Aliveness Ann Bradney for a roundtable discussion of HBO's The Vow, Starz's Seduced and their combined depiction of the NXIVM cult led by Keith Raniere. The conversation kicks off with the question, "How do intelligent, successful people like Mark Vicente and Sarah Edmonson end up susceptible to a cult in the first place...?" and then develops into a broader exploration into what exactly constitutes a cult, ways in which we're willing to defer our personal power to the leaders in our lives (and why), what we must be willing to tolerate in order to shatter the type of binary thinking that helps cults to thrive, contemporary politics, and much, much more.

Happy holidays! Jamie celebrates the end of the year by inviting friend of the pod Piper Sample to unpack all the surreal goings-on of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. It's a season where it feels like the bulk of the drama is in everything that's not being said - including Lisa Barlow's intentions in bringing Cameron onto the show, why Heather Gay and Whitney Rose seem so intent on bringing Lisa down, the source of Meredith's rage towards Jen Shah (not to mention her ardent defense of Mary Cosby) - and our Housewives intuitives do their best to roll up their sleeves and bring the SLC unconscious landscape out into the snowy light.

Jamie welcomes Taria S. Faison, host of the popular What Else is Going On? podcast, to deep dive Candiace Dillard and her polarizing effect on both her fellow cast members as well as the audience at large. They navigate Real Housewives of Potomac topics both current and historical, including the real reasons why Candiace was so bothered by Ashley's initial pregnancy journey, the emotional energy underneath Candiace's notoriously vicious attacks, why Candiace has difficulty drawing firmer boundaries with her mother and the inner workings of her relationship with Chris. Of course, no journey into the Potomac universe would be complete without a detour into the psyche of Le Grand Dame herself, Ms. Karen Huger.

In this bonus solo episode, Jamie airs his thoughts on the manner in which Meredith Marks handled the conflict between her son Brooks and RHOSLC villainess Jen Shah. The exploration digs into Meredith's relationship to her latent rage, which only seems to be building in the wake of Jen's arrest, and provides some deeper insight into her tendency to "disengage" from more heated conflict.

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.

The ongoing feud between Garcelle Beauvais and Dorit Kemsley on season 11 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has gone in circles, it's been hashed and rehashed, and yet it has never found truly meaningful resolution - leading many viewers to wonder "Just what was this fight really about?" Jamie invites astute Housewives intuitive Piper Sample back to the pod to dig into this very question. Together, they feel into Dorit's underlying need to insert herself into conflicts that have nothing to do with her, what Dorit's insertion brings up in Garcelle, and what Garcelle's own insertion then brings up in Dorit. It's a merry-go-round into themes of what it means to feel like an outsider, how (and why) we make bids for relevancy, the sometimes futile attempt to be heard in a larger system that simply doesn't want to hear you, and much more.

In this bonus episode, Jamie welcomes Lara Marie Schoenhals, host of the iconic Sexy Unique Podcast, to take an unflinching look at Randall Emmett's directorial debut Midnight in the Switchgrass. They break down the movie to see what it has to say about Randall's views on art, humanity and women - as well as what it reveals about his relationship with Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent.

In this quick-hit bonus episode, Jamie jumps into the Winter House premiere and explores Kyle Cooke's relationship to alcohol - an energetic inquiry that takes us into the possible flavor of Kyle's childhood and how those past experiences might connect to his deep indignation over the bedroom selection process.

In this solo episode, Jamie sounds off on the lion's share of blame being leveled at Candiace Dillard on The Real Housewives of Potomac and questions Mia Thornton's refusal to accept her part in a situation that she had a large hand in creating. Jamie makes several key drop-in's along the way - including why Candiace has been doubling down on her cruelty in lieu of exercising compassion toward Mia's mother, Mia's true opinion of Candiace, why Mia had such a disdainful response to Candiace's video shoot and, perhaps most important, what compelled Mia to buddy up with Dorothy Dillard in the first place. It's a deep exploration of what it means to take true self-responsibility for our actions and how that willingness (or lack thereof) ends up playing a key role in what we manifest in our lives.

….and we’re back! Jamie kicks off Deep Dive Season 2 by inviting good friend of the pod Haneefah Wood to jump into all thing The Real Housewives of Potomac - most notably, the conflict between Dr. Wendy Osefo and controversial newcomer Mia Thornton. Jamie and Haneefah dig underneath both the stark differences and also the surprising similarities between these adversaries - a journey that covers their relationship to their bodies, how they each handle interpersonal conflict, their mutual need to get ahead of the narrative, and much more. And no Potomac conversation would be complete without a look at Gizelle and Ashley’s messy behavior, and consideration of the thin line between being a good Bravo employee and pathological denial of your true negative intentions.

In this special crossover event, Jamie and Hot Takes & Deep Dives host Jess Rothschild officially review House of Hilton, the 2006 expose of the Hilton dynasty that heavily features the backstories of Kathy Hilton, Kyle & Kim Richards and their mother, Big Kathy. Together, they explore Big Kathy's quest for men, money and Hollywood, and the ways in which she projected those dreams onto her three daughters, how their mom kicked Kyle & Kim's father out of the home he built for them so she could run a sorority house, and parallel themes on both sides of the Hilton/Richards lineage. They also discuss Kathy and Paris Hilton's dynamic in the documentary This is Paris and how it relates to the book's revelatory content.

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...
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.
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.
