    What Ciara Really Knew About West/ Amanda, Kyle's RHOBH Exit & Lisa Rinna's RHOBH Offer

    The other day we broke down whether West Wilson and Amanda Batula were or were not actually an item, hooking up and/ or together and dating. Today, now that new news has arisen, we discuss what Andy Cohen and Ciara Miller actually knew as Ciara distances herself from it all. The plot thickens. In other news, the rumors and nastiness swirl around our fav diamond holders about just how much next season of RHOBH is expected to change. Rinna is apparently in, Kyle is apparently out and oh so very many more changes as Production gets savage.  @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: NOOM - noom.com (The Noom GLP-1 Microdose Program Starts At $99 and Is Delivered To Your Door In Seven Days) PEACE CORPS - peacecorps.gov/serve (The Toughest Job You'll Ever Love) ADVERTISING INQUIRIES - Please contact David@advertising-execs.com MERCH Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.

    You Might Also Like: The School of Greatness

    Introducing The Real Reason You Can't Stop Self-Sabotage | Dr. K from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Dr. K, the Harvard-trained psychiatrist known for his work with gamers and high performers, drops a truth that reframes everything: your negative identity isn't a flaw — it's your mind's attempt to protect you from failure. Most people go through life trying to upgrade from a loser identity to a winner identity, never realizing that both are traps that warp how you see reality. If you've ever wondered why motivation disappears the moment a goal feels out of reach, or why doing everything right still leaves you feeling empty, this conversation answers it in a way that actually makes sense. Dr. K breaks down the neuroscience of why you can't control your thoughts, why goals can secretly fuel procrastination, and why the most powerful thing you can do happens entirely inside your head. By the end, you'll see that the path to real change isn't about believing harder or wanting it more, it's about understanding how your mind actually works and learning to respond differently to what it generates. Dr. K’s book How to Raise a Healthy Gamer: End Power Struggles, Break Bad Screen Habits, and Transform Your Relationship with Your Kids Healthy Gamer Website Healthy GamerGG Podcast Healthy Gamer Youtube In this episode you will: Discover why your negative identity is protecting you and why trying to eliminate it is the wrong move Understand the critical difference between being capable of something and believing you can do it, and why confusing the two keeps people stuck Learn why goals can actually kill your motivation and what to focus on instead Recognize that you can't control your thoughts, only how you respond to them, and why that distinction changes everything Apply Dr. K's framework for processing setbacks without letting them collapse your sense of self For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1909 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you’ll love: Lewis Howes Solo [Create Lasting Motivation] Dr. Caroline Leaf MrBeast Get more from Lewis!  Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!
