Her involvement with Adaptive CrossFit, the impact of the 75 Hard program, and her advocacy for better nutritional awareness underscore her insights into the importance of mental resilience, personal accountability, and the role of faith in her recovery. www.thedadedge.com/friday183 www.1stphorm.com/dadedge   Jesi Stracham

What's up Bros? We're back at Lake Norman for the conclusion of Wendy's b-day trip (aka Mia's walk down memory lane). Mia takes us to The Joint, allegedly the first one that she opened, that she no longer owns nor has any ties to. It was one of the stranger scenes we've witnessed in awhile. That being said Steel absolutely loved it because of the massive level of awkwardness. Jaqueline continues to do the absolute most when it comes to cementing herself as 'Mia's #1" to which we ask... who cares? Why the need to be her certified sidekick? Its truly bizarre. Jassi opens up about her relationship and theres some timeline issues in regards to her boyfriend's kids that have us wondering what the full story is. Karen continues to go after Jaqueline for the drunk phone call statement. Stacey is just being Stacey in the best ways possible. She is truly a breath of fresh air and the genuine innocence is a new dynamic on this show that we personally love. She even decides to get involved in some of the drama at dinner by highlighting Jassi's relationship question marks. All in all every member of this cast is showing up right now in their own way and it is making for a great show. Is Potomac officially back? Want more BravBros content?

Amy and Emily Dorezas recap the iconic Real Housewives of Potomac. This week's episode has wild amounts of accusations and an equal amount of hilarity. Ashley is cooking up a new track that is perfect for my Lexapro commercial. We don't want to leave Lake Norman but we will if we can stay in Karen Huger's aka Hot Ursula's interviews. Plus Amy reads some whack ass reviews and a good one too. For Questions, comments and helpful feedback:dramadarlingz@gmail.comFor more Drama, Darling, and tons of content, subscribe to my Patreon: http://Patreon.com/dramadarlingGet 50% OFF Honeylove by going to:https://www.honeylove.com/DRAMAPromo Code: DRAMADrama, Darling with Amy Phillips is sponsored by BetterHelp Get 10% off your first month at: Betterhelp.com/DDGet 15% off at: JenniKayne.comPromo Code: DRAMA15

The Real Housewives of Potomac are still in Lake Norman giving endless speeches about how inspiring Wendy is, and Mia takes us back to where it all began. The first crack the back location!

What's up Bros? We're back in Lake Norman with the Potomac crew and can we just take a sec? Can we take a moment to recognize the comeback that Potomac has made this season? Bravo to the entire cast. But back to business. In this episode Mia let's slip that she overheard a butt dial form Karen implying she may have been with another man... Karen is still upset with Jaqueline for the comment at her birthday party and it looks like she has Jaqueline in her sights and Jaqueline attempting to stand toe to toe with the Grande Dame will not end well for her. However it is important to point out that Karen STILL will not take any accountability in regards to her DUI, which is very disappointing. Mia continues to juggle the Gordon/ Ink debacle and Jaqueline actually speaks some sense in trying to understand Gordon's side of things and why Mia may not be seeing the big picture. Gizelle heads back for Angel and Adore's cap and gown ceremony. Stacey and Kierna have taken to Karen's defense and wish that the group would ease up on her. That is until Stacey finds out the long list of charges that Karen has to her name. Which is ironic considering she went after Jaqueline for her ex/ coparent/ boyfriend? (Mr PP) for HIS charges. This season is delivering on all fronts. Drama is great but not too dark. The cast is getting along and genuinely seem to interact with one another. We (Steel especially) are so happy RHOP has returned to form because when it hits? It hits. Want more Bros content? Get access to weekly exclusive Bravo News episodes. Monthly zooms and more!

Amy Phillips and Emily Dorezes hit a double-header out of the park today by recapping two excellent episodes. First, they cover the Potomac ladies in the calm surrounding of Lake Norman, aside from the deer being shot (alledgedly). Then, they sail over to mermaid Island at night to see if Captain Glenn can finally cure his loneliness with sirens instead of sudoku. For more Drama, Darling, and tons of content, subscribe to my Patreon: http://Patreon.com/dramadarlingGet 30% off your first purchase of Dame products at:https://dame.com/Promo Code: DRAMA30 Get 15% off VIIA Hemp Co.Click the link: https://viiahemp.com/Promo Code: code: DRAMA Get 15% off LolaVie at https://www.lolavie.com/DRAMA15Promo Code: DRAMA15

The Real Housewives of Potomac head to Lake Norman for their first group trip of the season. Jacqueline finds herself in the hot seat as she insists she's both NOT a sidekick and also THE top sidekick.

I'm sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I'm feeling especially sentimental and emotional. There are several reasons why, but none more than the fact that my Mom, “Muffy” Durkin, is aging and she turns 92-years old this week. She's down in Florida resting-up and I want to celebrate her with all of you in my podcast community. As a matter of fact, I want to dedicate this episode to her today.    My family has been spending a lot of time down in FL the last several months as she needs round the clock health care. Well, I've shared before that Mom has not thrown out too much sentimental stuff over the years (remember, I've also shared that's where I received this bad “pack-rat gene” from) and I've joked that it will someday come in handy. Today is ONE of those days…    Here is what I share in this week's episode: A birthday letter I wrote to my Mom in 1986 (when I was just 15-years old). 4-special traits I want to share about Momma Durkin. Why it's important to know “You're Day is Coming.” WOW Book Chapter #10.  The best thing Momma Durkin ever did for me and my family.  ACTION Steps to take to become an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.  What are a few of your fondest memories of your Mom…and/or your Dad? What traits do/did they have that you most admire? How do you best exhibit those traits now as a parent (or as a mentor, friend, or colleague)? How can you even better display these traits, characteristics, and commitment? A “fitting” close to the episode from one of my favorite conversations with her a few years back.    It was an emotional episode. Thanks for celebrating Momma Durkin with me and I hope it spurs you into taking action into becoming an even better parent, coach, mentor, or friend.    If you enjoy this episode, please give us a 5-star rating and write a review. Please also share it on your social media and be sure to tag us: IG & X: @ToddDurkin Facebook: @ToddDurkinFQ10 #ToddDurkin #IMPACTSHOW #Podcast #Ep390 #MommaDurkin 5-Spots Remain for Montana Retreat! If it's calling YOU, now is YOUR TIME! No time to delay. If you want to join me in gorgeous Whitefish, MT, for what will be an absolutely epic retreat, take action by the end of THIS week.
