Summary
It’s a Galentine’s celebration this week as Scheana’s dear friends Maddie and Cristi join her in the studio for a conversation that’s raw, reflective, and full of heart. Scheana opens up about past friendship fractures, taking accountability, the roots of her people-pleasing tendencies, and how childhood trauma shaped her relationship with intimacy and self-worth.
The trio also dive into the Super Bowl, from favorite commercials to the backlash surrounding Bad Bunny’s halftime show, and how some of the reactions revealed deeper cultural blind spots (especially among a couple ignorant Housewives). They defend North West’s creativity, address online bullying, and call out the harsh criticism aimed at Olympic athletes, reminding us that maybe it’s time we start being better to each other.
It’s an honest, unfiltered conversation about growth, healing, and finding friendships that feel safe, supportive, and unconditional — a Galentine’s episode celebrating the women who show up when you need them most.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a Dear Media production. |
| 0:14.0 | From Vanderpump rules to motherhood and everywhere in between. |
| 0:19.1 | Warm up the kettle. It's time to spill some tea. |
| 0:22.6 | Let's get into some shenanigans with Sheena Shea. |
| 0:41.3 | Hey, hey Hey guys. |
| 0:48.6 | So today's episode, I have two very special women on the podcast with me. |
| 0:57.2 | But before we get into the episode, I felt like I needed to do a bit of a longer intro, a little solo moment with you guys, just get vulnerable, raw, real, give some more context, a trigger warning on some |
| 1:05.5 | things that are discussed later in this episode. And I know if you guys have been listening for a while or even following me on |
| 1:14.8 | Instagram or whatever, you might have noticed that I've gone through a lot of changes |
| 1:20.3 | since the last time you saw me on your TV screens, especially when it comes to my |

| 1:35.3 | There was a series of events that really forced me to take a hard look at the people in my life and ultimately make my circle smaller, |
| 1:46.8 | which I know that seems crazy, right? There's this perception of me that I have |
| 1:52.3 | endless best friends and everyone's locations and not going to lie, I do still have a ton of |
| 1:59.6 | locations and so many amazing friends. And I'm so |
| 2:02.7 | incredibly grateful for all of those people in my life. But if I'm going to be real with you, |
| 2:10.3 | the truth is just more complicated than that. Between my husband's affair, and if you read the book, you know, there was a very deep breach |
| 2:20.0 | within my most inner circle while I was writing my book, I completely shut down. |
| 2:26.8 | I felt like I just kind of stopped letting people in and when I finally did try to open up again |
| 2:34.0 | and tell my closest friends about what had |
