Really Riley

Today's Solar Eclipse is not the change to see a once in a lifetime solar event, but also the time to propel your manifestations into a reality in a very big way. But believe it or not, this is the ONE time that I will tell you NOT to put new manifestations into the Universe. In this episode I'll give you a crash course of what to do and what NOT to do in terms of your goals for life and relations...

A few listeners have been asking for The Lawn Care Papi's (Aka my husband Marshall) return to give advice on how to treat your grass for success in Spring and Summer. But before my husband gives his tips I decided to give him a little lawn care quiz to see just how much he really does know and should he be able to keep his nickname afterward? This episode is one of those where we truly test each o...

The interwebs are buzzing all over the place about Beyonce Debuting her first ever Country Music Album "Cowboy Carter" over the weekend with mixed reviews. Critics seem to be either loving or hating it, but no matter what side of the Queen Bey camp you're on you have to give it to the woman that she is a BOSS for putting herself out there is such a different genre than what's she's known for. So n...

If I'm being brutally honest I truly debated whether on not to answer one particular Ask Riley question for today's episode. I even considered editing it out after I told the story because there are a few things that are truly sacred in life. One of the most sacred being my marriage. However, after a heart to heart with the husband I decided to keep it very true to the promise of keeping it REAL h...

Kristin Cavallari broke the reality TV internet last week when she and her 24 year old boyfriend Mark Estes posted kissing pictures on their personal instagram pages. The two have been public since february of this year and have a 13 year age gap between them. I personally don't bat an eye at that age number being that my husband Marshall and I are almost seven years apart, with me being the elder...

This People Magazine article on whether or not you should leave your person or companion in the dust at TSA if they don't have PreCheck peaked my interest because this has been a long standing argument between my husband marshall and I. As a matter of fact, he's actually done this to me before while we were just dating. But trust me, he did it for an excusable reason otherwise I'm not sure that we...

Coming up in my early days in terrestrial radio I didn't have many, if any women mentors. Not that I think any less of my male mentors, but there is something special that happens when two women that respect each other get together to have an open and honest chat about the broadcasting industry as it pertains to women. My guest on this episode is Jess Dutra, Morning Show Co-Host on the Kramer and...

I may have been a fitness ambassador for the past 7 years and have integrated the lifestyle into just about every facet of my life including how I first bonded with the love of my life. But let's be clear on one thing, I NEVER try and position myself as being able to train or create fitness plans for anyone. That would just be irresponsible of someone without actual experience and the factual know...

Wednesday is always my favorite day of the week for podcasting, but especially today because I'm still on a high from speaking at the inaugural "Conversations with Media and Entertainment" that was hosted by the DC Office of Cable Television, Film, Music, and Entertainment. I want to pinch myself just reading that and I'm so excited to share with you the little nuggets of inspirations I got from a...

This last year has been one where my hormones just completely went out of whack and the thing that's been effected the most had been my sleep. Through a bit of research and a ton of frustration I came to learn that my cortisol levels have been way too high and that's the culprit for my 3am wakeups. A loot of listeners have been telling me that they have been experiencing some of the same issues so...

Whenever I have a huge event coming up I always tend to over think my look. Which nine times out of ten has me hating what I spent hours and lots of dollars to put together. I'll scrap the original plan, and haphazardly go back to the drawing board of my closet and find something absolutely perfect. What if we could take that same notion and put it into practice when life throws us those professio...

I somehow missed this question in this weeks round of #AskRiley questions but it was too good not to come back to. "What do you do if someone is lying about you, but you've got read receipts?". In this episode I give my take on whether or not you should post read receipts publicly if someone is lying about you and you have proof, but I read some listener reactions to my instagram post talking abou...

The week's tea got JUICY. On this week's Riley's Cup of Tea I sat down with listener DeAndra to chat about Scheana Shay being beyond jealous over her bestie Ariana Madix's success with DWTS, Tom Sandoval's creepy Sexy Singles Pool Party, Tom Schwartz's live-in "friend" Joe and that weird transition into The Valley premier. We also got into the tea about Brittany Cartwright saying she may want to g...

One of my favorite questions from this weeks Ask Riley was hands down "What's the WORST piece of advice you've ever received?" Being someone that prides themselves on giving advice from mostly an experience based perspective (as opposed to trying to pretend that I'm a know-it-all) I can honestly say that there are some people who would think I'm crazy for not taking this particular piece of advice...

I'm not much of a lipstick type of girl unless I have a photoshoot or a special event but lately I've been obsessed with the lip oil craze. So For this week's Riley's Fav 5 I reviewed some of the Tiktok Viral drugstore lip oils along with some none drugstore products that in my opinion should be viral. There's also an honorable mention for a product I scored at The Dollar Tree today that might be...

I'm aware of the fact that every parent whether single, married, divorced, or had their child via sperm donor, has their ups and downs. But as a former single mom, there's something that I've heard more than once that IRKS me beyond belief when people (that actually have that village youre supposed to have when raising a child) will say it. I know it's not the end of the world to be insensitive, e...

That husband of mine sure does know how to swoop in and make a girl feel special. As much as a pain in the arse as I can be at times, he truly does see me and my vision for where I want my aspirations in life to go. He believes in my dreams so wholeheartedly that it's usually the times that I can't believe in myself that he will pull surprises like this out of his hat and remind me why I am oh so...

Todays episode title may have you wondering what in the world I'm about to rant about. But just bare with me because I'm still keeping with the formula of what you've come to expect and hopefully love about Really Riley. But in the last few days I've felt uncharacteristically defeated. Almost to the point of giving up everything I've worked so hard for and trade it in for an easier route. But as p...

It's another great episode of #AskRiley questions this week were I'm actually really happy you asked a few of them. The reason being is that they gave me a chance to further go into a few things I want to be very crystal clear on in terms of my intentions. In answering one of those questions I also revealed a VERY personal tidbit about myself that only a few people closest to me know. But in this...

I thought we could do something a little different on today’s episode. My husband and listener Drew are going head to head in a Yellow stone face off. I’m quizzing them on their knowledge of the show and if Drew Wins, he gets to steal Marshall’s Yellowstone candle that he made with his own two hands. (Marshall is not excited about that outcome) And if Marshall wins, YOU will get to pick from diffe...

My friend, my mentor, Kane/Peter Deibler died on March 6th, 2021. Through the good, the bad, and some of the incredibly ugly, he was one of the greatest radio personalities there ever was. In this episode I show you a bit more of the man that he was before, during, and after everything in his life started to crumble. And please be aware that I know not all of it was pretty, or even anywhere close...

I wanted to REALLY celebrate this year's international women's day this year in the best way I know how. By creating something with my own two little hands, and giving it away to you! I have been blessed beyond belief this year with a crew of ladies that have literally picked me up out of whatever doubt filled puddle I was sitting in and reminded me that we didn't come this far to only come this f...

A lot of times in talking about manifestation I hear people getting frustrated that they can't seem to shake the funk of hopelessness. And although I've practiced the art of manifestation and aI preach how it changed my life, it doesn't always come natural for me. I get into funks all of the time. But after a few days of feeling helpless in gearing my life toward one of peace and prosperity, I did...

This weeks #AskRiley had one question in particular that really had me pause before answering because I wanted to respond to it in the most no BS way possible. "Is radio toxic for women? Or was it Unique to The kane Show?" I'm just going to leave that there and let you listen to my answer and decide what you think. ENJOY! reallyrileypodcast.com Become A Part of The #WeGotThisArmy email : reallyril...

Spring is finally here and the temperatures are rising so of course that means it's time for a "Lawn Care papi " update from the husband. In this episode Marshall gives a beginners guide to treating your lawn in springtime, the do's and don'ts of buying lawn care products and chats about new new lawn toy. And somehow we morphed into the discussion over whether or not that lawnmower is haunted. Its...
