    Real Moms of Bravo Spill the Tea on Bravo, Scandoval & Building Their Empire

    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.

    What’s Actually Worth Watching Right Now? Our Honest Ratings

    Need something new to watch? We’ve been doing the research. 😂 This week on Slay & Pray, we’re introducing our first-ever Rate My Show — rapid-fire ratings of everything we’ve been watching lately. Some are 10/10s, some surprised us, and some… probably should have stayed off the watchlist. But first, Alisha has suffered her first sourdough casualty — and she’s blaming ChatGPT. We also finally unpack The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah and discuss why apparently we enjoy emotionally destroying ourselves with books. Then it’s time to RATE 👏 THE 👏 SHOWS. We’re talking The Gilded Age, Five Star Weekend, 90210, Earl Meets World, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Crew Girl, Lanterns, Don't Say Good Luck, Mayday and more. Plus, Corinna discovers her new favorite flower, gets brutally roasted by her child over her pimple patches, tells a story about a nude beach in Spain that has apparently stayed with her for YEARS, and once again admits she may have done a little too much shopping. Just another mini episode that somehow became… not that mini. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — ENERGY!00:31 — Alisha's first sourdough disaster01:04 — ChatGPT ruined the bread?!03:12 — Our Kristin Hannah era03:22 — Finally talking The Four Winds04:25 — How much sadness is TOO much?07:02 — Marked safe from the Dust Bowl08:56 — Why does Kristin Hannah keep doing this to us?11:28 — Corinna has a new favorite flower13:01 — The hydrangea obsession14:41 — Corinna's pimple patch problem15:10 — So much for not spending money16:44 — Corinna gets roasted by her own child17:48 — We're trying mini episodes18:22 — Introducing: RATE MY SHOW19:05 — The Last Sunrise19:43 — Corinna's unforgettable Spain story23:39 — Alisha is rewatching The Gilded Age24:56 — Five Star Weekend25:31 — Rewatching 9021026:22 — Furious27:00 — Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed27:31 — Forever My Girl27:52 — Earl Meets World28:28 — Secret Lives of Mormon Wives28:43 — Crew Girl29:57 — A podcast interview worth watching30:55 — Lanterns32:10 — A Killer Story32:51 — Don't Say Good Luck33:43 — Mayday34:51 — Final verdict: Who do you trust? 🛍️ 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.

    Dancing With the Stars is back — and apparently so is Corinna at 4 A.M. 😂 This week on Slay & Pray, we’re recovering from an insanely busy week, celebrating the fact that Arizona is finally slightly less hot, planning anything-but-basic family photos, and talking about the surprisingly fun parts of watching our kids grow up.

    Laura Marie Meyers on The Mash Up and Millennial Nostalgia

    This week on Slay & Pray, Alisha and Corinna sit down with USA Today bestselling author Laura Marie Meyers to talk about her debut novel, The Mash Up. Laura shares how the idea “girl stuck in a MASH game” lived in her notes app for years, how millennial nostalgia helped shape the book, and why Ruby’s story became about more than just a fun rom-com premise. The conversation dives into lifelong friendships, motherhood, reconnecting with the dreams you had when you were younger, and what it means to stop playing your life small. Plus, we get into all the important things: AIM screen names, You’ve Got Mail, 10 Things I Hate About You, Miss Congeniality, Limited Too, NSYNC vs. Backstreet Boys, and why Alisha may need a full rom-com correction plan.

    We Got Influenced by Instagram Ads… and Bought $50 Peanut Butter

    This week on Slay & Pray, Alisha and Corinna are catching up on a very chaotic week filled with sick kids, toddler fashion opinions, weighted vest life hacks, deflated party balloons, luxury facials, and the Instagram ads that are clearly working way too well. Alisha shares the emotional battle of trying to get her toddler dressed for daycare when all she wanted was a full sparkly ball gown, while Corinna reveals her latest purchase spiral: four jars of boutique peanut butter. From banana bread matcha regret to TikTok turning into QVC, the girls get into the very real danger of being influenced online. They also talk current reads, Bible “life hacks,” The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Gilded Age, Outer Banks, Drew Starkey, Ted Lasso, and why every show somehow becomes a full emotional journey.
