Description

Hosts Shenae and Annalynne, met in the most famous zip code in the world. They spent 5 years and countless hours acting together on teen drama, 90210 and just as many navigating personal drama behind-the-scenes. After nearly a decade apart, they’re back, more fired up than ever and ready to unzip all that baggage as they reunite to tackle poignant conversations covering everything from pop culture to mental health, social issues to parenting and more. After spending a lifetime in the public eye being told what to say and do, these two are ready to let it all hang out.

While Shenae and AnnaLynne’s outspoken personalities have clashed over the years, they have an unbreakable bond and they’re inviting you into their friendship every week. They wear their hearts on their sleeve, are curious as hell and you best believe they are bold enough to ask questions and challenge norms that society often accepts at face value.

Get that bleeper button ready, sound guy. These two are uncensored and they’ve got a whole lot to say!

This week, Shenae and her other half, Josh deep dive into another chat about the good, the bad and the ugly of love and relationships in a new episode of their summer series Til Death. Each episode features calls from listeners struggling in the love department and live readings from resident psychic medium, Chris Medina. Sometimes our hosts come in with some truth bombs and this week is no different but can today’s caller take the heat?   Shout out to our LGBTQ+ family!!! Our caller this week is out and proud but his family’s approval weighs heavy on his heart and plays games with his mind when it comes to approaching the dating scene. Sometimes it’s easier to “fix” what we can physically see and while he’s put a lot of emphasis on his physical appearance to build confidence when it comes to dating, it looks like he may need to shift his focus if he wants to find that true love he’s after! As the old saying goes, it’s what’s on the inside that counts. With dating apps making rejection just one swipe away based on a couple photos, it’s easy to get caught up with the significance of the superficial but but if it’s love you’re after and not just lust, ya gotta dig a little deeper... as hard as that can be!   Produced by Dear Media
This week, Shenae and her other half, Josh deep dive into another chat about the good, the bad and the ugly of love and relationships in a new episode of their summer series Til Death. Each episode features calls from listeners struggling in the love department and live readings from resident psychic medium, Chris Medina. This week, Chris' predictions had our caller and Shenae and Josh's jaws on the floor! It's getting wilder by the minute over here so get ready for goosebumps, folks!   Our caller this week feels like her physical disabilities have held her back on finding love. But, have they? We're going to challenge her on that. Chris has some other ideas on what's really holding her back from experiencing the romance she craves and let's just say... he has her number! We often blame things out of our control for what's holding us back in life but... when we take a cold, hard look in the mirror and dig a little deeper, we just may find it's what we actually have complete control over that's really standing in our way. Chris also makes a WILD prediction that no one saw coming but the accuracy of his gift was on point today! Get ready to be inspired... we may or may not have shared a communal cry over this one!   Produced by Dear Media
This week, Shenae and her other half, Josh deep dive into another chat about the good, the bad and the ugly of love and relationships in a new episode of their summer series Til Death. Each episode features calls from listeners struggling in the love department and live readings from resident psychic medium, Chris Medina. This series is getting heavier, juicier and more unfiltered by the week so buckle up!   This week, our caller has struggled with chronic illness for a lifetime and has found herself comfortable in a long-term relationship but questions if this person is “the one”— or if “the one” even exists? After a recent discovery of some fundamental differences that she’s struggling to see past, she has a lot of self doubt around whether or not she can even find the strength and means to move on in her current condition. Chris and Shenae notice a pattern in how her physical and mental health have created a vicious cycle she must break to move forward. Can she handle hearing them tell it like it is and do what she needs to — and most importantly CAN do — in order to find happiness? Produced by Dear Media
This week, Shenae kicks off a summer series called ‘Til Death and you guessed it, it’s all about the good, the bad and the ugly in love and relationships. Co-hosted with her other half, Josh Beech and featuring resident psychic medium, Chris Medina, each episode features a real talk chat and psychic reading with a caller who is struggling in the love department and looking for some unfiltered advice and intuitive guidance.   This week, our caller was dumped by her fiancée after 7 years together with no explanation. After the recent loss of her mom, this was a tough pill to swallow, especially because there were “no red flags”. Upon further investigation, Shenae and Josh discovered a substance abuse issue that caused some trust issues early on. Sometimes when people show you who they are, you should pay attention and believe them. Before years pass and you’re left picking up the pieces. Josh and Shenae dove into their experience with how to navigate substance abuse in a relationship and Chris May as well have been riding in the car with our caller himself… listen and you’ll understand!!   Produced by Dear Media
We asked our audience what solo topic they’d like us to discuss and a vast majority said Roe V Wade. We know it’s controversial. We know it’s political. And we know, as two former teen actors, how often folks tell us to stay in our f-ing lane. But as two women, one of whom is a survivor of repeated sexual assault and here today because of a failed abortion and one of whom currently lives and is raising a daughter in a state where a trigger law goes into effect in just a few days… this is personal. So to the folks who’ve left us terrible reviews for having an opinion they didn’t care to hear, you ain’t gonna like this one. In today’s episode we are sharing our thoughts, our very personal stories and some resources that are available to take immediate action for yourself, someone you know or a perfect stranger who on June 24, 2022 became your sister and fellow soldier in this fight for our human rights.   Please be advised that this episode includes candid discussion about sensitive and potentially triggering topics.

Shenae became an American citizen 3 months before the world turned on its head and life as we knew it was forever changed. Officially becoming American was one of her biggest childhood dreams come true but these past couple of years, and recent months in particular, have made her question where the safest place to raise her kids truly is. The American Dream she’d chased since 10 years old has been shattered in more ways than one and the dreams she now has for her children’s future may take her out of America for good. Annalynne was born and raised with deeply patriotic conditioning that gives her a much better understanding of the mentality that Shenae is so fearful of for her kids’ safety. This week, these two confront very controversial recent events from two very different places with one common desire… to keep the children in this country safe from gun violence.   Please be advised that this episode includes candid discussion about sensitive and potentially triggering topics.

Dr. Amen is our new best friend, your new best friend, and one of the smartest people we’ve ever spoken to. In this episode he walks us through the results from one of Annalynne’s brain scans and what they mean on an emotional and physical level.    Dr. Amen, one of the most popular psychiatrists in America, has devoted his life’s work to helping people make sense of their conditions based on their brain activity.     For those of you who have been following us for a while, you’ll know that Annalynne has a traumatic past that has had significant impact on her mental health. Listen in as Dr. Amen makes sense of why Annalynne still struggles despite all of the amazing work she does to improve her mental health and what actionable steps we can all take to have healthier brains.    He’s such a brilliant, genius and we can’t wait for you to hear this episode.    Produced by Dear Media
It’s been nearly a decade since we worked together on 90210. On camera, we played best friends for 5 years but behind-the-scenes, we couldn’t stand each other for most of that time. Our friendship blossomed towards the end of the series and has grown to bring us closer than ever today but we’ve never addressed our 5-year feud publicly or with each other… until now! What better time to confront our past and finally put it to rest than the first episode of our new podcast, right? Produced by Dear Media
If you’re anything like Shenae, the whole journey of having kids has become a total exploration in better understanding how you were raised.  This week we’re joined by the amazing, TikTok sensation on gentle parenting, Destini Ann, who is sharing with us a very grounded, easy, attainable lens on parenting that will allow us to keep it together in the most frustrating of parenting moments. Shenae speaks to seeing so much of herself in Bowie’s reactions and how that in turn also makes her realize how much of her parents discipline styles shine through into her parenting, especially in the intense parenting moments. If you’re someone who also struggles with seeking external validation, and hoping to raise a next generation who never seeks that kind of affirmation from others, Destini’s got some great advice for you that’s worth tuning in for.    Produced by Dear Media
How Woo Woo Are You?

How Woo Woo Are You?

2022-06-1545:37

For our most loyal listeners, you already know who brings all the “woo” to our conversations on the podcast, but in this episode we’re breaking down just how “woo woo” each of us will go, Shenae’s unexpecting introduction to woo, and why the world right now probably needs a little extra woo. Don’t worry, we’re not here to convert anyone, but you might just be surprised how much of your everyday life is in fact grounded by a little woo.    Produced by Dear Media
This week it’s just Annalynne and Shenae talking all about the buzz word of “boundaries”; where we have them, where we don’t, and the impact that has on our everyday lives.  More specifically, as we all enter a new phase beyond a global pandemic, how do we disconnect our minds from a place of constant urgency and reactivity to a place of contentment and genuine reflection on your own terms. Produced by Dear Media
Can one person go too far with what they share on social media?  This week we’re talking to one of the queens of content creation, and arguably one of those people who really “go there” in terms of sharing all of their candid, messy, beautiful moments with the entire world.   Quigley got her first Hollywood shock after being told “You Suck” by Simon Cowell on American Idol.  From there, she took a path to success through content creation which was far more unique at the time than what we know now. Quigley walks us through the evolution of her channel and how she went from a fashion icon with a beautifully curated feed to a beautifully candid, honest, tell-all personality embracing the ups and downs of motherhood, business, and depression on a very public forum.    Produced by Dear Media
This week you’re in for a treat because we were in a full on “catch-up” mode and had all the energy to share some of our most hilarious manifestation stories - some that may or may not involve kissing Leonardo DiCaprio. As Summer approaches and we pull ourselves out of a pandemic slump, we can feel our energies shifting, moods getting lighter, ease coming back into our routines, and new projects to take on! (Yes, we’ll also be giving you a teaser of what we’re both working on right now).   Produced by Dear Media
You may know Julia Haart intimately from her Netflix Series, “My Unorthodox Life”, but today we unzip with her to discuss the journey that took her from obedient wife and mother in a fundamentalist community to renowned designer and CEO.     We’re discussing how conformity, modesty, staying silent, and downplayed intelligence were all such integral parts of how she was raised to show up in the world and what her breaking points were that made her crave existence in place where none of that was a reality for her or her four kids.    Grab your copy of the book “Brazen” by Julia Haart, available now anywhere books are sold.   Produced by Dear Media
We’re back with Part Two of our tell-all podcast about our addictions to sex, weed, alcohol, and having a good time. This particular episode goes deeper into what the recovery process looked like for each of us as we navigated that and where we are with it as of today.   For those of you who missed last week's episode you can find it on here   If you or someone you know is struggling with  substance use, we highly recommend checking out https://www.aa.org/ for more information about how you can get the support you may need.   Produced by Dear Media
We’ve alluded to some of our vices on previous episodes but we wanted to dedicate a two part episode to talking about each of our unique experiences with addiction.  Shenae’s husband Josh joins us for this episode as we each dive into our very different addictions we’ve had over the years and how we got there.   Stay tuned for next week’s episode as we dive into what the recovery process looked like for each of us and how that continues to manifest today.   Produced by Dear Media
This week we’re talking all things diet culture and how to create a different mindset around food. More specifically, if you happen to have a human in your home who is incredibly picky or stubborn when it comes to what they will and won’t eat - sometimes that’s a partner, sometimes that’s a toddler - this episode is for you!   Is it something we’re doing wrong if we’re raising a picky eater? How do we not subject our kids to diet culture while also trying to get them to put some food in their bodies?  If you have one of those humans in your home, this episode is for you!   If you want to learn more about Jessica and her resources head to https://www.jessicadiamondrdn.com/     Produced by Dear Media
