Housewives and Healing

In this episode, I sit down with Emma Defelice—makeup artist, spray-tan enthusiast, and devoted Real Housewives of New Jersey superfan. With the recent Giudice–Gorga reunion making waves, Emma is the perfect guest to break it all down and share her hilarious, unfiltered takes.But beyond the Bravo drama, we also talk about something much deeper. The holiday season can be a beautiful time, but it can also be incredibly hard for those who are missing someone. Emma opens up about losing her dad, how that loss has shaped her, and the ways she’s learned to navigate grief during a time that’s often centered around togetherness.I hope you enjoy the laughs, the commentary, and the heart in this episode—and that it reminds us all to hold space for those we’ve lost and to be gentle with others, because we never truly know what someone else is carrying. Support the show
