About Charmingly Toxic

Hosted by Denise Capurso, licensed therapist, trauma specialist, and unapologetic reality TV junkie, this podcast unpacks the messy world of toxic relationships both on screen and off. With over 25 years of experience helping women heal from narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and relational trauma, Denise brings clinical insight with a side of no-nonsense commentary. From Housewives drama to cult dynamics, controlling in-laws to “too good to be true” partners, Charmingly Toxic shines a light on the patterns that leave us drained, doubting, or downright dizzy. Each episode, you’ll gain tools to spot the red flags, set boundaries that stick, and reclaim your voice—without judgment, and maybe with a little side-eye. So pour a glass, hit subscribe, and join the conversation. Because toxic charm might look shiny, but we’re here to expose the cracks.

RHoRI and Summer House

This week, Joanne and I break down RHO Rhode Island, including the moment JoEllen casually mentions she was in a sorority—and guess what? So were we. Shout‑out to all our AGO girl!. We drop quick, spicy takes on why Rula keeps hanging on to Brian, then jump over to Summer House, where a much‑needed break from Kyle and Amanda lets everyone root for Carl and his Soft Bar Opening Era. Carl’s growth is real, and Bailey is absolutely here for it. Along the way, we connect the dots between reality TV drama and real-life relational patterns—exploring how power, narcissism, and control show up both on screen and off.

RHoRI, Summer House and The Valley

Our hot takes on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Summer House, and The Valley. In Rhode Island, everyone has a skeleton in the closet and absolutely no interest in protecting anyone else’s. It’s every woman for herself. On Summer House, Amanda is working overtime to get West to smooth things over with Ciara so she and West can eventually go public without blowing up the group. And on The Valley, we’re watching Janet and Jason slowly get iced out of the cast. Along the way, we connect the dots between reality TV drama and real-life relational patterns—exploring how power, narcissism, and control show up both on screen and off.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
