Vanderpump Rules has been a staple of Bravo's reality lineup for almost a decade, and OG Scheana Shay is one of the reasons. Today on #BetterTogether we talked all about the wild season, her widely criticized edit, and the recently mounted #JusticeForScheana campaign. Plus, we discuss fertility, and Scheana even reveals that she and her current boyfriend Brock Davies are considering embryos TOGETHER! Maria loved our chat, and we know you will too!

Did you know women are physiologically 10 times more likely to deal with chronic stress issues than men? This is a passion point for Dr Pamela Peeke, whom I had the pleasure of chatting with on my show BetterTogether. On today's show, we discussed the profound differences between productive stress and toxic stress, which is defined by helplessness, hopelessness, and defeat. Dr. Peeke offers practical strategies to deal with toxic stress: like hitting pause on our prefrontal cortex, which she calls "the CEO of the brain." We chatted about how resilience is one of the most important skills we can develop to deal with stress, and how resilience often needs to be re-taught when life throws us curveballs. Will your day be defined by productive stress, or toxic stress?
