The Healthy Mental Podcast - With Devin Shepherd - Ep. 4
In today’s episode, I sit down with Sharon Tharp — a veteran entertainment journalist and podcast host with a deep passion for reality TV. We dive into her love for shows like Big Brother and Survivor, and how she’s continuing to cover the latest reality TV moments, often working closely with former Big Brother contestants. Sharon shares how loyalty and trust are at the core of the friendships she’s built within the reality TV world, and why it’s so important to her to spread real news, not misinformation. She also opens up about her personal battles with anxiety, the steps she’s taken to overcome it, and her belief in always investing in yourself and advocating for your worth. To wrap it up, Sharon leaves younger women with some heartfelt advice on staying true to themselves in any industry.
