Send us a textRHOC-Welcome to the Golden Door... of DramaPodcast Summary: RHOC S19 E1 – “Revolving Door of Lies”The season kicks off with Shannon picking up Katie, who just got back from Arizona. Shannon is in a different headspace from last year, and invites the ladies to a healing retreat at The Golden Door. Katie appreciates Shannon's support and feels close to her, especially after the drama from the reunion.Drama unfolds as Katie reveals that Emily's ex-nanny reached out to her with information that ended up on a podcast, which deeply upset Emily. Katie insists she didn't seek the nanny out but admits she should've ignored it. Meanwhile, Emily accuses Katie of intentionally stirring the pot and dragging bloggers into their private lives.Emily is also dealing with her son's eating disorder and possible autism diagnosis, adding emotional depth and real-life stakes. Her raw vulnerability is contrasted by Katie's evasiveness and inconsistencies, leaving the group torn on who to trust.Tamra opens up in therapy about her trauma and possibly being on the spectrum. She also reignites conflict with Katie over blogger accusations and blocked Instagram accounts. At the same time, Jenn and Ryan prepare for a wedding—sans Tamra—and drama bubbles between Jenn and Gina, who calls Katie a “con artist,” claiming Jenn told her that.The Golden Door trip is supposed to bring healing, but tension builds. Katie and Jenn arrive last, and despite Katie offering to host a lunch as an olive branch, the ladies confront her again. Emily is hurt and financially burdened from legal issues tied to Katie's involvement with the nanny. Gina and Tamra express distrust, and Heather warns against blogger drama.Meanwhile on Watch What Happens Live, Tamra is grilled about whether she's changed through therapy (most viewers say no), while Katie is voted most likely to get caught in a lie.

(she/her) who helps individuals and mission-driven organizations master resilience to stress, anxiety and trauma in order to have a more meaningful impact in the world in a culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed, body-based way. This conversation adds something that has been sorely missing on my show- a global and systemic angle to money that has never been discussed before.Folks, a holistic, trauma informed conversation about money must include the various aspects of systemic and social traumas that impact how humans relate to money. "We can talk about what's happening on an individual level but if we're not also taking into account systemic trauma we can really cause a lot of harm to ourselves and the people we are serving.”This conversation also explores the idea of the exploitation of self, and our “inner colonizer” which is something I see a lot in myself and my clients.Felina and I also address the impact of human consumption on the climate, and the implications of consuming material objects on the global system, their cost on the environment and our wellbeing on the long run. We also bring up the idea of sufficiency and how important it is in our relationship to money as healers and coaches, as it pertains to our overall wellbeing, wealth and our collaboration with others.
