‘Real Housewives’ stars Jenna Lyons and Erin Lichy join Danielle to reflect on the reinventions that shaped them, as women, creatives, and public figures. From family rituals to the pressures of perfection, online criticism, and the surprising freedom of letting go, they share what it really takes to stay grounded when the world is watching. Jenna and Erin share:
How childhood food experiences shaped their adult relationship to cooking 
Why perfectionism keeps so many women from hosting, and how Erin’s weekly Shabbat dinners taught her to “unbutton” and welcome people in without fear.
What it’s really like to reinvent yourself on reality TV, including dealing with internet trolls, losing control of the narrative, and showing up authentically anyway.
The wild story behind Jenna’s lash brand failure, including moldy packaging, a delayed launch, and losing Target as a customer, and why she now sees it as her biggest business lesson.
How being an outsider can shape empathy and taste
Why female friendship matters as adults, and how their bond formed not through glamor but through vulnerability
The refreshing style advice about creating a signature look 
What makes a great leader or creative, plus why you should hire people smarter than you

What if psychic ability isn’t rare, it’s actually universal? World-renowned psychic medium and author Laura Lynne Jackson joins Danielle to explain why intuition, signs, and spiritual communication are innate gifts we all possess, and how to access them without relying on a medium. She breaks down the concept of a “team of light,” the role of creativity as divine communication, and how spirituality can make us more resilient in real life. In this episode, Laura shares:
How we all have psychic and intuitive abilities
Her meaning of a "team of light," which includes God energy, spirit guides, and loved ones/ancestors who have crossed.
Why signs are real, specific, and co-created, not coincidences
How creativity is a portal to the other side 
Why our spirit guides help steer us toward our highest path, not necessarily our easiest path.
How failure is often a soul-level teaching tool and can be contracted for a higher purpose.
Our soul relationships continue after death and often become stronger once a loved one crosses.
Why we don’t have just one soulmate, multiple soul connections can appear across forms and lifetimes.
That manifesting requires two overlooked steps: purge negative beliefs and restore balance before asking.
