Episode 23: Making Progress on Our Reality TV Addictions

from The Progress Girls · host Madison Rae and Whitney Taussig

From Jen Shah to Summer House chaos, we’re breaking down why we’re so invested in strangers fighting, dating, and spiraling on TV. Is it entertainment… or emotional projection? We get into attachment wounds, safe chaos, and parasocial relationships—aka why it feels relaxing to watch absolute dysfunction. Because let’s be honest: reality TV didn’t create our issues… it just gave them a stage.Functional Health Doctor - Gabrielle Francis
