The Real Moms of Bravo are in the Slay Studio — and within approximately two minutes, they discover Alisha DOESN’T WATCH BRAVO. 😂 This week on Slay & Pray, we’re joined by Abby and Vanessa of Real Moms of Bravo for all things Bravo, pop culture, motherhood, podcasting and building a community online. Abby and Vanessa take us back to the beginning of Real Moms of Bravo — from two friends G-chatting about Housewives and recording podcast episodes on their phones to building a loyal audience, joining Podcast Nation and turning their love of reality TV into something much bigger. We talk about what it actually takes to grow a podcast, getting access to Bravo talent, dealing with comparison as a creator, balancing the content you love with what your audience actually wants, and their biggest dreams for Real Moms of Bravo. And obviously… we talk BRAVO. The ladies take us inside the absolute insanity of covering Scandoval in real time, including the two-week period that brought them roughly 25,000 new followers. Then they give Alisha a much-needed crash course in the latest Summer House drama while Corinna finally gets to live her dream of talking Bravo with people who understand her. Plus: Off Campus, Heated Rivalry, romance books, motherhood, sharing your friends' locations, Housewives hot takes, Bravo rapid fire and the reality TV moments that live rent-free in our heads. Basically, Corinna found her people. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Real Moms of Bravo enter the Slay Studio!01:15 — Corinna has been following them for YEARS01:55 — Wait… Alisha doesn't watch Bravo?!03:26 — What does Alisha even watch? 😂04:15 — Smut vs. historical fiction05:06 — Our Kristin Hannah debate06:19 — Into the Blue & our Summer of Authors07:11 — Corinna's current reading habits 👀08:36 — Okay, let's actually introduce our guests09:12 — Slay & Pray with Abby and Vanessa09:36 — Celebrating Andy Cohen12:04 — Vanessa's Slay & Pray13:40 — Our Off Campus obsession14:05 — Heated Rivalry14:34 — “How are you two friends?”16:56 — Corinna desperately needs childcare18:28 — Motherhood & being ruled by your children20:37 — How Real Moms of Bravo started22:35 — Finding a creative outlet after motherhood23:37 — When your podcast partner becomes your business partner25:33 — Do you share your location with your friends?26:33 — Joining Podcast Nation27:35 — Why getting Bravo guests is SO difficult28:41 — Their biggest dreams for Real Moms of Bravo30:43 — Their advice for growing a podcast31:04 — JUST START31:55 — Why comparison is the thief of joy33:07 — Why the first year is the hardest34:18 — Dealing with the haters35:29 — Women supporting women ❤️37:34 — BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO37:57 — How they decide what shows to cover39:30 — When the show you love doesn't get the numbers40:18 — What's happening with Orange County?43:30 — The craziest Bravo scandal they've ever covered43:42 — Covering Scandoval 24/744:52 — Gaining 25K followers in two weeks?!45:39 — Alisha needs the Summer House drama explained46:42 — The friendship betrayal explained50:34 — Bravo rapid fire!50:38 — The best Bravo show right now51:26 — Pop culture moment of the year53:14 — The Summer I Turned Pretty debate54:44 — Ultimate Bravo moms' night out55:15 — The Bravo quotes that live rent-free56:03 — Where to find Real Moms of Bravo ✨ FOLLOW REAL MOMS OF BRAVOFind Real Moms of Bravo wherever you listen to podcasts and on Instagram, TikTok, Threads and Substack. 🛍️ SHOP MY STOREShop my favorites: https://bit.ly/4fYBUlk 🌐 SLAY & PRAYVisit us at slayandpraypodcast.com Join Corinna and Alisha for unfiltered conversations about pop culture, motherhood, friendship, books, TV and whatever else makes its way onto the couch.
