In this episode of The Newport Psycho, hosts Madison Shreeve & Ashley Estrada sit down with Morgan Stiles Stern and her husband, George Stern, for a real conversation about what keeps a relationship healthy — even when life gets loud.

Morgan opens up about the moment she first misread George as “rude,” how she knew he was her person by date three, and the “out in the wild” meet-cute where George approached her sweating bullets (no apps, no games). They also talk spiritual growth as their shared “psycho,” planning the wedding, why neither of them cried, and the one mindset shift that turns conflict into teamwork.

This show uses “psycho” as a way to name patterns we’re working through — not as a diagnosis.

Shannon Storms Beador sits down with Madison Shreeve + Ashley Estrada for a brutally honest conversation about dating, boundaries, and being labeled “inauthentic” in the spotlight.

In this episode, Shannon talks about:

• The worst date she ever went on and why she shut it down fast
• How a major life moment changed her friendships and circle
• Dating in 2026: love bombers, ghosting, and “Did you Google me?”
• Why she’s not on dating apps (and what she won’t tolerate)
• What she actually wants in a partner: effort, respect, and a real hype-man

If you’ve ever ignored red flags, tried to be “the chill one,” or felt judged for protecting your peace… this one’s for you.

Joey Zauzig is back with Ashley + Madison for a real conversation about what most people don’t see behind influencer life.
From dating after divorce to the pressure of an always-on persona, Joey shares the honest version, messy, funny, and unexpectedly relatable.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The “two personas” Joey says he’s constantly managing (online vs offline)
• Why being single can be healthier than re-connecting with toxic people
• The real workload behind influencing: meetings, content, travel, brand deals
• Dating in LA, expensive dates, and what actually matters long-term
• Joey’s mindset shift: letting life work out and “making space” for better
• Relationship respect, boundaries, and what crossed the line in his marriage
• Brand-culture moments: Love Island, Dunkin, De’Longhi, and what brand trips are really like

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt torn between who you are publicly vs privately, or you’re navigating dating, healing, and identity in real time.

Question for the comments: What part of Joey’s story hit you the hardest the dating advice, the divorce honesty, or the “two personas” conversation?

Find Joey: @joeyshouse (he jokes “at Joey’s house… on every platform”) + keep an eye out for his Bravo Toast x West Hollywood drink drop.
