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.
