Aside from Mandy’s voice feeling like a maternal hug I appreciate how grounded her takes are. And if “critical” it’s a perfect balance of honesty and kindness. I think diplomacy is really important and rare current day especially with bravo podcasts that are meant for escapism and I feel like Mandy is very diplomatic in her analysis and feelz should it relate to sensi contemporary topics. Is this real life is a very warm hug 🤗
You can’t state that someone has an eating disorder. Would you like it if someone spoke about your body and looks? Completely insensitive and cruel. And you want a kind review? Ok
Amazing show! Down to earth and thoughtful. Only thing that I want to clarify about the “influencers” who were in Aspen with Mo, that one of those ladies is a famous Brazilian singer called Anitta. Thanks ❤️
Thank you Mandy for sharing your opinions on Bravo and also your personal life. Always enjoy- even if I disagree on something. Blessings!!
