Show Notes
This week on Pop Therapy, I’m joined by the one and only Chef Stu - celebrity chef, cookbook author, podcaster and star of the Food Network’s Private Chefs of Beverly Hills.
Stu takes us through his journey from Ireland to Los Angeles, what it really takes to build a career in the public eye, and how fame can blur the lines between your personal life and your public brand. We talk candidly about navigating a very public relationship and breakup, especially when that person lives a public life themselves.. The pressure of being watched in real time, and the boundaries you have to build to protect your peace.
Of course, we also dive into the Bravosphere - from the new ick on Vanderpump Rules to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills - and unpack what reality TV needs to bring back the magic. Plus, we touch on wellness trends like GLP-1s and NAD, energy culture, and the cultural obsession with optimisation.
This one is funny, honest, and full of heart - with a little bit of cooking and a whole lot of Pop Therapy. Connect with the wonderful Chef Stu: IG: @chefstuartokeeffePodcast: Don't Let It Stu

This week on Pop Therapy, I unpack the questions still troubling me about Lindsay Clancy, Reddington's moves and intentions for the next imminent court date, and the online debates surrounding this deeply complex case. I also discuss the disturbing allegations against Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s son, KJ, and the family fallout playing out publicly.
Patrick Clancy has spoken out following the mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case - and his 60 Minutes interview has done little to help him escape the public scrutiny.
