Charmingly Toxic

by Charmingly Toxic Hosted By Denise Capurso

Hosted by Denise Capurso, licensed therapist, trauma specialist, and unapologetic reality TV junkie, this podcast unpacks the messy world of toxic relationships both on screen and off. With over 25 years of experience helping women heal from narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and relational trauma, Denise brings clinical insight with a side of no-nonsense commentary. From Housewives drama to cult dynamics, controlling in-laws to “too good to be true” partners, Charmingly Toxic shines a light on the patterns that leave us drained, doubting, or downright dizzy. Each episode, you’ll gain tools to spot the red flags, set boundaries that stick, and reclaim your voice—without judgment, and maybe with a little side-eye. So pour a glass, hit subscribe, and join the conversation. Because toxic charm might look shiny, but we’re here to expose the cracks.
