The interwebs are buzzing all over the place about Beyonce Debuting her first ever Country Music Album "Cowboy Carter" over the weekend with mixed reviews. Critics seem to be either loving or hating it, but no matter what side of the Queen Bey camp you're on you have to give it to the woman that she is a BOSS for putting herself out there is such a different genre than what's she's known for. So naturally I thought now would be the perfect time for you to hear my viral interview with Ed Sheeran ...

If I'm being brutally honest I truly debated whether on not to answer one particular Ask Riley question for today's episode. I even considered editing it out after I told the story because there are a few things that are truly sacred in life. One of the most sacred being my marriage. However, after a heart to heart with the husband I decided to keep it very true to the promise of keeping it REAL here on Really Riley and answer this question in the most respectful way I know how. I also feel the ...

Kristin Cavallari broke the reality TV internet last week when she and her 24 year old boyfriend Mark Estes posted kissing pictures on their personal instagram pages. The two have been public since february of this year and have a 13 year age gap between them. I personally don't bat an eye at that age number being that my husband Marshall and I are almost seven years apart, with me being the elder of the two. (cringe that I just used the word elder to describe myself). But Hollywood seems to hav...

This People Magazine article on whether or not you should leave your person or companion in the dust at TSA if they don't have PreCheck peaked my interest because this has been a long standing argument between my husband marshall and I. As a matter of fact, he's actually done this to me before while we were just dating. But trust me, he did it for an excusable reason otherwise I'm not sure that we would be husband and wife today. In this episode I sat down with Marshall to debate the excusable r...

Coming up in my early days in terrestrial radio I didn't have many, if any women mentors. Not that I think any less of my male mentors, but there is something special that happens when two women that respect each other get together to have an open and honest chat about the broadcasting industry as it pertains to women. My guest on this episode is Jess Dutra, Morning Show Co-Host on the Kramer and Jess on Mix 1065 in Baltimore MD. One could say that we should have been foes over friends because a...

I may have been a fitness ambassador for the past 7 years and have integrated the lifestyle into just about every facet of my life including how I first bonded with the love of my life. But let's be clear on one thing, I NEVER try and position myself as being able to train or create fitness plans for anyone. That would just be irresponsible of someone without actual experience and the factual knowledge, or most importantly the degree to do so. My husband Marshall however, has a degree in exercis...

Wednesday is always my favorite day of the week for podcasting, but especially today because I'm still on a high from speaking at the inaugural "Conversations with Media and Entertainment" that was hosted by the DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music, and Entertainment. I want to pinch myself just reading that and I'm so excited to share with you the little nuggets of inspirations I got from all angels at this event. In this episode I chat about the connections that were made, the terrifying...

This last year has been one where my hormones just completely went out of whack and the thing that's been effected the most had been my sleep. Through a bit of research and a ton of frustration I came to learn that my cortisol levels have been way too high and that's the culprit for my 3am wakeups. A loot of listeners have been telling me that they have been experiencing some of the same issues so I thought I would put together a list of my five favorite natural ways to get some much needed beau...

Whenever I have a huge event coming up I always tend to over think my look. Which nine times out of ten has me hating what I spent hours and lots of dollars to put together. I'll scrap the original plan, and haphazardly go back to the drawing board of my closet and find something absolutely perfect. What if we could take that same notion and put it into practice when life throws us those professional curveballs we could never have seen coming? Be, you, be brave, and go with the flow. Trust me, I...

I somehow missed this question in this weeks round of #AskRiley questions but it was too good not to come back to. "What do you do if someone is lying about you, but you've got read receipts?". In this episode I give my take on whether or not you should post read receipts publicly if someone is lying about you and you have proof, but I read some listener reactions to my instagram post talking about this. It's a tough thing to rise above things and just let someone smear your name. Sometimes it c...

The week's tea got JUICY. On this week's Riley's Cup of Tea I sat down with listener DeAndra to chat about Scheana Shay being beyond jealous over her bestie Ariana Madix's success with DWTS, Tom Sandoval's creepy Sexy Singles Pool Party, Tom Schwartz's live-in "friend" Joe and that weird transition into The Valley premier. We also got into the tea about Brittany Cartwright saying she may want to get a sperm donor like lala Kent if she and Jax Taylor don't get back together. And last but not at a...

One of my favorite questions from this weeks Ask Riley was hands down "What's the WORST piece of advice you've ever received?" Being someone that prides themselves on giving advice from mostly an experience based perspective (as opposed to trying to pretend that I'm a know-it-all) I can honestly say that there are some people who would think I'm crazy for not taking this particular piece of advice. One might I add that was given to me by one of my closest family members. But sage advice isn't al...

I'm not much of a lipstick type of girl unless I have a photoshoot or a special event but lately I've been obsessed with the lip oil craze. So For this week's Riley's Fav 5 I reviewed some of the Tiktok Viral drugstore lip oils along with some none drugstore products that in my opinion should be viral. There's also an honorable mention for a product I scored at The Dollar Tree today that might be the cutest packaging I've ever seen for a $1.25. And don't forget to check out my socials for the vi...

I'm aware of the fact that every parent whether single, married, divorced, or had their child via sperm donor, has their ups and downs. But as a former single mom, there's something that I've heard more than once that IRKS me beyond belief when people (that actually have that village youre supposed to have when raising a child) will say it. I know it's not the end of the world to be insensitive, especially when there are so many Karnes and Kyles running around causing issues just because they ca...

That husband of mine sure does know how to swoop in and make a girl feel special. As much as a pain in the arse as I can be at times, he truly does see me and my vision for where I want my aspirations in life to go. He believes in my dreams so wholeheartedly that it's usually the times that I can't believe in myself that he will pull surprises like this out of his hat and remind me why I am oh so beyond blessed to have him. From almost the first few months we've been together to five years in, h...

Todays episode title may have you wondering what in the world I'm about to rant about. But just bare with me because I'm still keeping with the formula of what you've come to expect and hopefully love about Really Riley. But in the last few days I've felt uncharacteristically defeated. Almost to the point of giving up everything I've worked so hard for and trade it in for an easier route. But as per usual in my life adventures, we plan and God and the universe laugh. When I say over and over aga...

It's another great episode of #AskRiley questions this week were I'm actually really happy you asked a few of them. The reason being is that they gave me a chance to further go into a few things I want to be very crystal clear on in terms of my intentions. In answering one of those questions I also revealed a VERY personal tidbit about myself that only a few people closest to me know. But in this journey of healing and releasing as much of the ghosts of trauma's past as humanly possible, I'm not...

I thought we could do something a little different on today’s episode. My husband and listener Drew are going head to head in a Yellow stone face off. I’m quizzing them on their knowledge of the show and if Drew Wins, he gets to steal Marshall’s Yellowstone candle that he made with his own two hands. (Marshall is not excited about that outcome) And if Marshall wins, YOU will get to pick from different ways that Marshall gets to torture me this week. I’ll put the poll up on my Instagram for you t...

My friend, my mentor, Kane/Peter Deibler died on March 6th, 2021. Through the good, the bad, and some of the incredibly ugly, he was one of the greatest radio personalities there ever was. In this episode I show you a bit more of the man that he was before, during, and after everything in his life started to crumble. And please be aware that I know not all of it was pretty, or even anywhere close to excusable. But perhaps by telling more of the story if the man, versus the monster it will help s...

I wanted to REALLY celebrate this year's international women's day this year in the best way I know how. By creating something with my own two little hands, and giving it away to you! I have been blessed beyond belief this year with a crew of ladies that have literally picked me up out of whatever doubt filled puddle I was sitting in and reminded me that we didn't come this far to only come this far. I love you guys to the moon and back again. Happy International Women's Day! #WeGotThis reallyri...

A lot of times in talking about manifestation I hear people getting frustrated that they can't seem to shake the funk of hopelessness. And although I've practiced the art of manifestation and aI preach how it changed my life, it doesn't always come natural for me. I get into funks all of the time. But after a few days of feeling helpless in gearing my life toward one of peace and prosperity, I did what I like to call a "micro shuffle". And like clockwork, things started flowing in a positive way...

Spring is finally here and the temperatures are rising so of course that means it's time for a "Lawn Care papi " update from the husband. In this episode Marshall gives a beginners guide to treating your lawn in springtime, the do's and don'ts of buying lawn care products and chats about new new lawn toy. And somehow we morphed into the discussion over whether or not that lawnmower is haunted. Its will totally make sense after you listen so bear with me friends. ENJOY! reallyrileypodcast.com Bec...

One of my favorites "Show me the Ring" brides is back on the show 4 months after she said I DO. And here I thought I had a ton of things go wrong before my wedding but of all of the brides I've talked to, I think Olivia's journey takes the cake. From freaking out over finding the perfect wedding ring to fit her vintage engagement bauble just 6 weeks before the big day, to losing a bridesmaid, to not having her ceremony music picked out the day before....PHEW! Oh and did I mention her having to c...

And just when we thought we were getting over the hump of all things drama when it comes to Scandovol....Rachel is suing Tom and Ariana. AND Brittany Cartwright just announced that she and Jax Taylor are separating. One of the stories I'm not surprised and one of them I'm really sad over. There are just SO MANY thoughts to be had about this so I brought in my very good #WeGotThisArmy friend Christina to chat about what we think Rahcel's motives for suing are, what we think really happened with j...

Why is it so hard for us as adults to just be selfish? Well let me backup and say that differently? why is so hard for good people to be selfish in a way that benefits them? As little kids we have absolutely no shame in asking for what we want, and saying no even when we know that our parents are going to get mad at us if we do. In this particular podcast I go into the idea of being selfish and not wasting your precious time on people that are advice imposters. You know the type, the ones that c...

Asking for what you want seems like it should be like second nature for any adult human right? From the time we are taught to speak one of the first things our parents teach us is to say what we want instead of screaming and throwing a hissy fit. Well somewhere along the line from being toddler to a somewhat jaded adult I lost the ability to ask for what I TRULY wanted, and I ended up asking for what I thought I deserved. But thank goodness for learning to manifest the things I want in life and ...
