Heather Dubrow on Surviving 30 Years of Marriage in the Spotlight

Excuse My Grandma

Show Notes

Heather Dubrow joins Kim and Grandma Gail for a candid conversation about family, marriage, aging, and life in the spotlight. Heather reflects on 20 seasons of The Real Housewives of Orange County, raising four children on camera, maintaining a nearly 30-year marriage, and embracing new stages of parenthood as her family approaches the empty-nest years.

She also opens up about her evolving relationship with her mother, processing grief after the loss of her father, navigating beauty standards in Hollywood, and taking chances even when others question your path. Together, the three generations discuss what makes family relationships meaningful, why there is no single right timeline for life, and the importance of saying yes to opportunities that feel right.
