Until this day, no housewife has ever made me laugh as much as Bethenny. Her confessionals were so iconic. And her dynamic with Ramona and exasperation with her … Old RHONY is everything to me, everything. She can be condescending, problematic and shameless, but a bona-fide top-tier housewife.

33:40 as a licensed clinician myself, the thought of there being a lot of therapists who say “family is family” is terrifying. It is never our job to push our values onto our clients. A skilled therapist is going to ask the right questions for you to come to whatever conclusion is right for you on your own.

Wow to see Bethany actually get teary-eyed and so emotional about her divorce that it was worse than her childhood that’s gotta be absolutely horrifying
