About this listen

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.Copyright 2026 Charmingly Toxic Hosted By Denise Capurso Art Self-Help Social Sciences Success

    We’re breaking down Amy stepping into her art era, Tammy navigating mental health and a birthday full of family tension, and Brittany’s full‑blown glow‑up. We also get into how weight loss is reshaping personalities, roles, and relationships. It’s messy, heartfelt, and exactly why we keep watching.

    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.

  • Love is Blind Season 10 Episodes 1-6
    Feb 18 2026

    My guest and I break down the first 6 episodes of Love is Blind,

    Season 10. Are people even showing up as their best selves in the pods

    this season, or are we just watching a parade of pick‑me energy and

    half‑truths? We get into who’s oversharing, and what these people are

    actually allowed to disclose about their looks. Love is not blind, and

    yes, we say the quiet part out loud: this show needs a format

    overhaul. Maybe people get engaged after living together? Maybe let

    the couples explore other possible connections in Cabo instead of

    pretending the pods created unbreakable soul ties?

    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.

  • Bravo Gossip, Summer House Episode 2 and Traitors
    Feb 14 2026

    This week we’re deep in the Bravo world. Jill Z takes A‑Hole of the

    Week after getting fired from her E! show for her halftime comments,

    and we break down the whole mess. We also touch on the SLC crew

    guesting on Below Deck, and… not a great look.

    Over on Summer House, we get into Kyle’s manipulative, narcissistic

    moves — the projecting, the team‑building, and the shame narrative

    around Amanda. The new girls are bringing great energy, and Carl has

    fully stepped into his new dad role.

    On to Traitors.. Will Rob be voted out next? We’re hoping for more of

    Jonny’s humor and way more gameplay from the folks who’ve been flying

    under the radar.
