Episode 10.) Beyond The Cameras: Reality TV, Blended Families, & Hard Truths With Jess Cimato and Erica Rose
You may recognize them from VH1's You're Cut Off! or Bravo's Below Deck Sailing Yacht, but there's so much more to Jess Cimato and Erica Rose Sanders than what you've seen on television!
With 16 years of friendship between them, these two have experienced reality TV, personal growth, marriage, motherhood, and some unexpected chapters along the way.
This week, they're pulling up a chair at the kitchen table for a conversation that goes well beyond the cameras.
Jess shares her experience navigating life as a newly married stepmom, while Erica brings her perspective as a family-law attorney. Together, we unpack the realities of blended families, co-parenting, boundaries, adult conflict, and what it really means to put children first.
We also talk about friendship, public perception, the importance of extending grace, and why healthy relationships require more than simply being right.
And yes, we get into a little reality TV along the way! 👀
Whether you're a biological parent, stepparent, or simply someone learning to navigate complicated relationships, there's something in this conversation for you.
Pull up a chair. The kitchen table is open! 💗
