From Shahs of Sunset to her return on The Valley: Persian Style, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi opens up about what she learned during her time away from reality TV cameras, why coming back feels different this time around, and why she turned down other TV opportunities like “The Traitors.” She talks motherhood, growth, and how becoming a mom has reshaped her priorities both on and off camera.

Golnesa also breaks down her life today—from where she’s living and her daily routine to going into business with both of her ex-husbands, including how she got started on OnlyFans and what people get wrong about it. She gets candid about relationships, revisits what really happened with her ex-husband Dennis and the friend betrayal that followed, and shares where things stand now.

Plus, Golnesa dishes on The Valley: Persian Style, her evolving friendships with Reza and MJ, who from Shahs of Sunset she’d like to see make an appearance on the new show, and why people are often surprised when they meet her in real life. And yes—she addresses Bravo hookups, being waitlisted on Raya, and potential crossovers. Tune in to find out!

This week, Scheana and Kiki Monique are back together for their first episode of 2026, catching up after the holidays. Kiki rang in the New Year in Mexico, while Scheana headed to a wellness retreat—where tuning out Brock was easier than tuning out thoughts about one former friend during a sound bath.

They break down Golden Globes highlights, millennial trauma flashbacks, fast-food nostalgia, and the eyebrow-raising facial chlamydia outbreak among the 1% in St. Barths. Scheana and Kiki also react to the news that Katie Ginella won’t be returning to RHOC, and Scheana opens up about navigating playdates for Summer Moon when the moms aren’t exactly on good terms.

Plus, why does Scheana admit she might not be built for The Traitors? Tune in to find out.

This week, Scheana is answering your listener questions and catching you up on a holiday season that was equal parts magical and chaotic — including a hit-and-run, a broken window, two surgeries, and a holiday that is still not over yet for the Davies household (darn those naughty elves). Scheana reflects on some of her favorite VPR moments, clears up some long-standing misconceptions, and opens up about what stepping away from reality TV has taught her. She also dishes on finding (and setting) boundaries, seasoned vs seasonal friendships, mental health, and why her healing era is her happiest one yet. She answers your questions about motherhood, internet trolls, and what the future may hold — including when you might see her back on your screens again. Tune in to find out!
