Scheana reflects on some of her favorite  VPR  moments, clears up some long-standing misconceptions, and opens up about what stepping away from reality TV has taught her. She also dishes on finding (and setting) boundaries, seasoned vs seasonal friendships, mental health, and why her healing era is her happiest one yet. She answers your questions about motherhood, internet trolls, and what the future may hold — including when you might see her back on your screens again.
