Show Notes
Villain, Victim or Vigilante?...That's the question Michael and I explore in this episode. Not only as it relates to Monica, but the entire cast of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season 4.
We're breaking down both the season and the reunion of RHOSLC and asking if Monica's punishment matches the crime. We'll also do a deeper dive into Monica Garcia: her story, her trauma, her projection and how she did more in one season of a housewives franchise than most Bravo TV housewives do in 10 seasons. Overall, this episode of Bravo Therapy provides a deep dive into the complexities of this season of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" and highlights the importance of compassion and self-reflection in navigating reality TV and personal growth.
Recorded on a full moon and after the intense finale RHOSLC reunion episode, this one's an emotional roller coaster.
