Scheananigans with Scheana Shay

Scheana and her “Payroll Husband” Brock are joined by Kristin Gallant and Deena Margolin, the parenting coach and child therapist duo behind the viral parenting hub Big Little Feelings, for an honest, real-time parenting workshop packed with practical tools and relatable moments. From toddler meltdowns to emotional shutdowns, they break down what’s actually happening developmentally — and why big feelings aren’t bad behavior (or a sign you’re raising a “spoiled” kid).

Scheana and Brock open up about postpartum OCD, co-sleeping conversations, differing parenting styles, and the very real weight of mom and dad guilt — including balancing career opportunities with being present for milestones. The conversation also dives into raising a child in the public eye, handling social media commentary, and the one parenting shift everyone should start today.

Plus, the BLF duo debunks the biggest toddler myths, shares their go-to meltdown scripts, and reminds every parent of one powerful truth: you’re doing better than you think.

This week, Scheana welcomes Kiki Monique and Ryan Bailey back to the studio. From Lunar New Year superstitions (no sweeping, no black outfits, and Kristen Doute on strict “don’t break anything” watch) to baby prep and psychic readings from the other side, nothing is off limits. Ryan reveals his baby girl’s name and jokes that karma may have caught up with him after once spilling Summer Moon’s name before Scheana was ready. They also compare birth plans versus delivery-room reality (because sometimes sh*t goes out the window… or on the table).

Then it’s a deep dive into Netflix’s Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model. Kiki admits she used to be one of Tyra’s biggest defenders — until this documentary reframed everything. The trio unpacks reality TV’s pressure machine, accountability, and body commentary culture, as Scheana reflects on her own experiences on Reality TV, and explains why stepping away from it can be the only way to grow.

Plus, they discuss Dorinda stepping up after Jill’s E! exit, and Scheana reveals which friendships she shed in the Year of the Snake — and why, in the Year of the Fire Horse, she’s not going back. Tune in for the tea!

It’s a Galentine’s celebration this week as Scheana’s dear friends Maddie and Cristi join her in the studio for a conversation that’s raw, reflective, and full of heart. Scheana opens up about past friendship fractures, taking accountability, the roots of her people-pleasing tendencies, and how childhood trauma shaped her relationship with intimacy and self-worth.

The trio also dive into the Super Bowl, from favorite commercials to the backlash surrounding Bad Bunny’s halftime show, and how some of the reactions revealed deeper cultural blind spots (especially among a couple ignorant Housewives). They defend North West’s creativity, address online bullying, and call out the harsh criticism aimed at Olympic athletes, reminding us that maybe it’s time we start being better to each other.

It’s an honest, unfiltered conversation about growth, healing, and finding friendships that feel safe, supportive, and unconditional — a Galentine’s episode celebrating the women who show up when you need them most.

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!

Attachment styles are everywhere — but what do they actually mean, and how much do they shape the way we love? This week, Scheana is joined by leading attachment theory expert Thais Gibson (founder of The Personal Development School) to break down the four attachment styles, why our adult relationships mirror our earliest bonds, and how insecurity shows up in communication, conflict, and connection. Scheana opens up about learning she’s securely attached, while her husband Brock discovered he has a fearful avoidant attachment style — sparking an honest conversation about what it really takes to make different styles work together.

Thais explains why attachment styles aren’t fixed, how patterns like people-pleasing, self-sabotage, and emotional withdrawal form, and what actually helps move toward secure attachment. This episode isn’t about labels or blame — it’s about awareness, responsibility, and doing the work. If you’ve ever wondered why certain relationship patterns keep repeating, this conversation might explain everything.
