Bravo Therapy x Grief and Media: Exploring Grief in Reality TV with Alex Piscitelli

Hey BABs! This episode I’m joined by Alex Piscatelli, the amazing creator of the Grief in Media Project. Together, we dive deep into how grief shows up in reality TV, pop culture, and our own lives. We’re spilling all the realiTEA on how shows like Vanderpump Rules and Summer House portray grief, and why these raw, unfiltered moments matter so much. Alex shares her personal journey through grief, how it inspired her to start the Grief in Media Project, and why creating art has been a form of healing for her.

Key Points:

Connecting through Grief: Alex and I talk about our personal experiences with loss and how that led us to create platforms focused on mental health and media.
The Grief in Media Project: Alex shares how her own losses inspired her to create a podcast and media database that normalizes conversations about grief.
Mental Health Check-In: We reflect on how grief affects our day-to-day lives, relationships, and even our reality TV binge sessions.
Reality TV Spotlight: We dive into the portrayal of grief in Bravo shows, from Ariana's emotional journey on Vanderpump Rules to Carl's loss on Summer House—and why these moments hit so hard.
