I remember once when on vacation with an old partying friend, and as time when on during that vacation, I realized that’s what we had in common was parting. I sat there with breakfast one day ordering a drink, which I don’t do in real life and I felt myself getting too high, and thought to myself, not cool! I had heard awhile back; if you enjoy parting but don’t want to lose your senses, just have a drink, but then back it up with a glass of water. So during that breakfast and revelation, I backed up my drink with water, and I was pleasantly surprised, as it took me from feeling loopy, and an embarrassment to having self control. Now if I ever drink and start feeling out of control, or stupid, that’s what I do. Game changer for me.
I think Shep is very kind and intelligent, possessing a very competitive ego, which is an essential element of success. The world is at his feet. Dating women closer to his own age would be of great benefit.
Guy is a total clown. He tried and failed to sue the Town of Kent, and waisted tens of thousands of dollars that should have been re-invested into the organization. He has a history of running companies into the ground, just look at his previous employer, so the best thing that High Watch ever did was can him and his wife. I can only imagine the amount of money he syphoned away from patient care so he could live a lavish lifestyle, like his last trip to burning man. This guy and his crew are grifters that will put there own delusional needs before anyone else, which is fine, my issue is that he's using vulnerable people in need to further his goals.
Shep - I hope you read this post: The fact that you have made it this far in your life without trauma is something to be very thankful for, but also you likely will not get out of this life unscathed. My hope for you is that when you do experience a real trauma, you are able to continue life with both an intact body and mind. If you are so fortunate, maybe you'll put the partying brakes on just a bit more, and care about your soul and health more, so you can continue to be happy and healthy until you've reached a ripe old age. You're a totally cool guy...live long and prosper!! ❤❤ (No, I am not a Trekkie!)😊
My sister was Shep’s baby sitter . Out of much respect for her . I will not name her. All of the HHI locals definitely know who she and her husband are there. Oh Shep.. Shep.. Shep. You don’t want to grow old alone my friend.. and be single God willing you’re alive when you’re 75… Ohh…the things I’ve heard . 😂
Wow, what a powerful interview. The questions asked were great. Shep seemed comfortable with his answers. I wish him the best. We are all on a journey in life, each of us suffer in different ways, physically and emotionally. Life is hard. No matter what your journey is, we need to be respectful and supportive of each other. No one goes through this life alone. Fantastic interview!
I have watched Southern Charm since day one.. It is my favorite, and I really liked this last season, because it was mainly the guys, and it was GREAT. Could have done without TAYLOR, that's for sure!! Please, never take it off!!
I always saw great potential in Shep because his brain is quick and he has chamelion abilities. Not in a bad way. Bright and curious. He is right on with "idle hands". His brain functions well with challenges.
Yes, it’s all part of the process. Survival mechanisms are pretty powerful and pain avoidance is something all humans can succumb to. It’s super easy to point out in other people, but WAY easier said than done to actually attack our deep rooted patterns perfectly.
I’m not sure how it is possible that I am the first person to like and comment since it says in the description box that this podcast was 6 months ago, but I guess that speaks to what she was saying about how niche market this product is and how there is not really shelf space in stores for her product. I sure hope there is more podcast “shelf space” for more conversations like this one!! I loved how authentic and open Fay was with sharing her journey from drinking alcohol at a young age, to finding a mindlfulness practice through yoga and meditation that really worked for her. I was aware of Bonbuz having seen it on social media, but now I’m ready to dive in and really give it a try because you can’t put a price on feeling good with joy and happiness!! Also couldn’t help but wonder if she is looking for investors to help her achieve her goal?!🎉😊
Thank you for your response/reaction! Fay is a phenomenal human and Bonbuz is fantastic. Go to our podcast website and shoot me an email for more information. Thank you for your interest!
I'm a huge Southern Charm fan... But it never ceases to amaze me how rich whyte men can float thru life evading authority with minimal consequences 😒... Hopefully, Shep finds his way. Much Respect for letting Superbowl clown know they were unrealistic and it doesn't make common sense..💜
I’ve been in jail multiple times, lost my drivers license for 5 years, kicked out of school, fired from jobs. I wouldn’t consider those to be minimal consequences for my behavior. We’re not taking about felonies here. We’re talking about addiction. I was anything but floating through life.
@@cherylvisconti Believe me, we know. Reminded of it CONSTANTLY. I know we are easy to judge and have targets on our backs…but just remember, the world is made up of an infinite amount of different kinds of people. We’re all just trying get through life the best way we know how. Your way may not be our way, and vice versa. ❤️
It’s the yuck yuck about what y’all did makes me sick. I see no humbleness from either. He likes the Hero Worship but the spoiled old frat boys … just old now! @@ChampagneProblemsPodcast
Just wondering why he needed or needs that psychotropic drug? If he ever chooses to move forward without any substance he will find community and accountability and zero judgement and no rules/“ musts” in AA
I rarely post comments. Just wanted to say after reading these negative comments… Robbie did a great job interviewing Shep. I’ve watched Shep since day one and he’s really grown up a lot. He’s not a bad person. Everyone has made mistakes… it’s all about the way you handle the solution. I appreciate your honesty Robbie. Good job 👏🏻 Have a Great Day
I totally relate to that feeling of wanting to be in control, of whatever journey we’re on, & that it’s yours, then it feels, more alluring with how it was put and treated here Also have similar interests with deep questions which is why I interview people who’ve had NDE’s etc, much love to you both -I see the deep divinity in both of you God Bless
I'm so happy this podcast was on my feed. It's a beautiful thing to learn that Shep knew he hit his bottom during Bravocon. He's been a TV friend in my head since season One! Watching the show there were a few potential bottoms. Cameron trying to bring him onboard in her real estate endeavor. He slept through appointments. Kept her waiting for hours. The most cringe worthy. Being embarrassingly ill prepared for a meeting for a lucrative showing of a house . I still wonder what the owner had to say to Shep and Cameron off camera. Did he even list the house with her or her employer. All that to say. I'm excited to see he's making genuine effort at living life on life's terms. Looking forward to seeing Shep in his future endeavors. What a great interview. I'm subscribed. Thank you ❤
Shep seems to really want external validation and I think focusing on his own personal purpose will be helpful. Silence the noise around him…so many temptations that don’t serve him.
Our podcast is designed to deliver conversations, not interviews. So if it felt that way, that was the intention. Hope it was somewhat enjoyable. Thanks for listening.
I hope Shep and Austin have a good season together. I hate when they argue Is Katheryn coming back to Southern Charm? Will Paige ever move into Craig’s house full time??
Excellent interview...pleasant surprise. Interviewer asked great questions and moved the conversation along really well. I hope Shep and Taylor find a way to reconnect.
Great interview. Wishing Shep well. He is clearly very intelligent and articulate. Hopefully his writing and/or other entrepreneurial ideas take centre stage in his life so he can finally shed his playboy partying persona. Be a man of substance rather than substance abuse.
While I appreciate both these men’s stories about their journey through addiction to sobriety, I hope they can understand and appreciate that the reason they are both sitting here and are able to laugh about it is because of white privilege. Imagine being poor, not coming for money, and being a minority, having four DUIs, and then crashing into a marine base or whatever he did. They are both very lucky to have the power of money behind them,
Love your candor, curiosity, humility and grace. Lot of people in these comments have their own demons to slay. Christ is the key to all healing whether one realizes it or not. @@ChampagneProblemsPodcast
No joke! These two clowns won the DNA lotto! What was soo bad in their lives they had to turn to alcohol and drugs? Too many vacations? Did the Rolls breakdown again? Gum on the bottom of their Gucci loafers?
