Teresa Giudice launched her first live podcast in a cathedral-like venue to symbolize her effort to reconnect with her faith on Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey on Bravo.
‘Our theme is finding my peace,’ Teresa, 52, explained to her castmates before the live launch of her Namaste B****es podcast.
The theme resonated personally with Teresa who spent time in prison after pleading guilty in March 2014 to federal fraud charges and also lost her parents around the same turbulent period of her life.
‘I’m bringing God back into my life because I was really mad at God,’ Teresa admitted.
Teresa during the live podcast event opened up to the audience by reading from her personal journal.
