Tell me your secret, I'll tell you mine — true confessions of love, sex, money, food, addiction, and hidden taboo topics that are often hilarious, uplifting, and hopeful. Every Monday, best-selling author and actress, Brianne Davis, pulls back the curtain on the deepest, darkest, heartbreaking, and even silly secrets from an eclectic group of guests. While sharing her own secrets in each episode, Brianne's disarming approach creates an intimate and safe space for her guests to bare their souls, uncover the truth, and share practical advice. And just like that, we're laughing, crying, inspired, and filled with hope.
Brianne's best-selling book, Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex & Love Addict, a roman à clef novel based on a decade in recovery (with a dash of creative license), launched in February 2021.

Customer Reviews
Audible Shock Therapy at Its Best
What a raw and fascinating way to present such poignant topics. Nobody wants to talk about these issues Brianne covers and on Secret Life - and yet she guides them through the conversations in a safe and meaningful way. 👏👏👏
Great show!
Very insightful and transparent, really enjoyed the episode!
Loving It
I think this is an important podcast actually! We all need a way to release and tell someone our secrets anonymously. It’s entertaining and healthy!
