Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "This Is Why I Don't Read The Comments" https://www.patreon.com/posts/this-is-why-i-150149213 Picture this: a dinner with a well-connected industry insider, quiet confessions about midlife celebrities, and a conversation that suddenly pivots to Reddit trolls and AI tracking anonymous haters.

Chalene Johnson breaks her usual rule of avoiding politics to talk about something far more disturbing. This episode digs into the newly released Epstein files, the outrage surrounding Dr. Peter Attia, and the uncomfortable question no one seems willing to answer. Why are some public figures facing real consequences while others remain completely untouched? This is not a partisan conversation. It is a deep dive into power, silence, and the accountability gap that continues to protect the most connected people in the world. 🚨This episode discusses sexual assault, exploitation, and abuse involving women and children. No graphic details are shared, but the subject matter may be upsetting for some listeners. 🚨   💪🏼Join Chalene LIVE on Feb 12th at 5 p.m. PST / 8 p.m. EST For "5 Reasons You Can't Drop Belly Fat After 40" Go to 👉 https://chalene.com/mistakes   💥Hang out with Chalene on Patreon!!  To Join Go to  http://chalene.com/more    🎯 Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?

Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "I May Take Legal Action Against Martha Stewart" https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-may-take-legal-149557835 Picture this: Chalene is dealing with sensitive and irritated skin around her face and eyes, a skincare product that looks way too fancy to be suspicious, and a quick decision that felt totally harmless in the moment. Then things start getting weird. A little irritation turns into huh that is odd, which turns into a doctor visit and one of those slow dawning realizations where your brain starts quietly replaying everything you have touched recently.

With the release of the new documentary series Handsome Devil: Charming Killer about Wade Wilson, Chalene shares the first episode of a Between Friends series exploring the psychology behind hybristophilia, the phenomenon where people become romantically drawn to violent criminals. In this first episode, she shares a personal story from early in her career that first exposed her to this behavior, then connects it to modern cases that reveal how attraction, manipulation, and control play out behind prison walls. This is not true crime for shock value. It is a psychological deep dive into why these relationships form, how dangerous men exploit empathy and attention, and why understanding these dynamics matters for personal safety.    🚨 This episode includes discussion of violent criminal acts and is not suitable for all listeners.

Birthdays usually come with baggage. This one didn't… and that surprised me. In this episode, I'm sharing the very specific thing I did that created a tiny mindset shift and completely changed how I look at birthdays. It started as a joke, stuck in my brain, and somehow turned aging into something that feels lighter and actually kind of fun. I have a feeling this might work for you too. I'm also recapping my birthday weekend which included a perfect day, a few unexpected realizations, and yes… somehow accidentally ending up completely butt naked in front of a total stranger. This one's part mindset, part life update, and very on brand for me.   💥 Hang out with Chalene Live on Patreon!!

In this life update, Chalene and Bret share what turned into a full blown catastrophe after a major flood destroyed their California beach house. They walk through the reality of dealing with insurance delays, massive financial decisions, and why coastal properties come with a level of risk most homeowners never see coming. Along the way, the conversation shifts into a surprisingly grounding discussion about money mindset, stress, and how quickly plans and priorities can change. It is honest, sometimes darkly funny, and full of hard earned perspective on loss, gratitude, and not letting stuff define your future. Chalene and Bret also the road trip chaos that took place on their way to visit Chalene's parents.    💥 Hang out with Chalene Live on Patreon!!

A celebrity family feud blows up online and suddenly everyone has a take. Chalene Johnson breaks down what really happened when Brooklyn Beckham publicly accused David Beckham and Victoria Beckham of control, manipulation, and choosing brand over family. But this episode is not about gossip or picking sides. It digs into why this story feels so familiar to so many families, especially when adult children set boundaries and parents are caught off guard. At its core, this is about power, identity, and what happens when private family pain becomes public.

A viral Instagram account that looks almost too perfect sparks a much bigger conversation about how easily trust can be manipulated online. Chalene unpacks fake influencers, AI generated bodies, cloned voices, and deepfake doctors that appear completely real while quietly profiting from credibility. This is not a tech tutorial and it is not fear driven. It is an honest look at how fast AI is changing what we see online, who gets our attention, and who we believe is real. If you have ever shared a video only to find out later it was fake, this episode is going to hit close to home.   🔥 Join Chalene on Patreon for all the content she can not share on the regular show before the price goes up!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🤓 What You Will Learn How fake AI influencers gain huge followings and real brand deals Easy to miss signs that videos or accounts are AI Why older audiences are targeted and why it works How voice cloning and deepfakes are being used to scam people How AI ads are changing shopping and trust Why long form content feels safer for the nervous system Why online trust is more fragile than it looks   🤓 Links to Fake Influencers: Baddie Betty - @badiebethany https://www.instagram.com/badiebethany?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Dr John Valentine - @healthylifesage https://www.instagram.com/healthylifesage?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==   🎉 Show Sponsors: Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

Charlie Javice was the startup world's new golden girl until a single email exposed everything. What began as a story about ambition, innovation, and a $175 million payday unraveled into one of the most unbelievable legal showdowns in tech. This isn't just about fraud it's about pretty privilege, hype, identity, and what happens when a Fortune 500 company gets lazy when the smart, pretty, believable, equity-driven Gen Z girl walks in the room. JP Morgan could have avoided a multi-million dollar error had they sent just one email.   🔥Join Chalene on Patreon for all the content she can not share on the regular show before the price goes up!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🎉Show Sponsors: Thank you to our Sponsor!!!

Tech updates, new systems, and all those "this is supposed to make your life easier" moments start to feel like too much and lead into a much bigger conversation. From outsourcing tech overwhelm to watching parents wrestle with apps and platforms that feel anything but intuitive, this discussion connects everyday frustration to deeper shifts around AI, social media, and trust. Chalene breaks down why long-form content feels calmer, why endless scrolling leaves the brain fried, and why younger generations are already pushing back by unplugging. It's not anti-technology or fear-driven, but it is a grounded reality check on why more innovation doesn't automatically equal more peace.   🔥 Join Chalene on Patreon for all the content she can not share on the regular show before the price goes up!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🧑‍⚕️ Book your virtual visit today with MIDI Health!

From updating makeup techniques for midlife faces to why separate bathrooms might be the secret to a happier marriage, this episode blends humor, honesty, and very real relationship truths.

What starts as one of Chalene's life updates quickly turns into one of those conversations that just keeps going and gets way deeper than expected. The episode wanders through identity, aging, beauty, and purpose, and calls out the idea that wanting to feel good in your body is somehow shallow. It gets into neuroaesthetics in a very real, easy to understand way and why things like makeup, grooming, movement, and even your surroundings can seriously affect mood, stress, and mental clarity. Along the way, there are post holiday realizations, thoughts on generational differences around trauma and communication, aging and mobility, long term care realities, and the pressure so many women feel to always be doing more to prove they matter. It's casual, honest, occasionally funny, and feels like one of those conversations that sticks with you after it's over.   🔥 Join Chalene on Patreon for all the content she can not share on the regular show before the price goes up!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   💄 Join Chalene LIVE for 5 INSTANT Beauty Hacks on Sunday, January 11th at 8pm Eastern | 5pm Pacific Sign Up at  http://chalene.com/hacks     💋 Check out the Instagram reel showing the half and half makeup technique comparison https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTLiZ2iEUFx/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==     🤓 What You Will Learn Why feeling put together can actually calm your brain How beauty routines and self care are about alignment, not insecurity Why movement matters more than age when it comes to looking young How family history and unspoken stuff shows up later in relationships The link between purpose, pressure, and happiness as we age What no one talks about with long term care planning Why doing less can sometimes feel a whole lot better     🎉 Show Sponsors: Organifi!!!

Listen to the full 42 min Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "Stop the Insanity | What Really Happened to Susan Powter" https://www.patreon.com/posts/stop-insanity-to-147273225     Chalene Johnson sits down with her BFF, trauma therapist Dr. Mcayla Sarno, after watching a documentary that starts out nostalgic and quickly gets unsettling. It focuses on Susan Powter, the woman behind "Stop the Insanity," who was everywhere in the 90s and then suddenly disappeared. What seems like a fun throwback turns into a deeper conversation about fame, trust, money, mental health, and identity when success vanishes. They unpack what feels confusing and unfinished and ask the questions the documentary avoids. This isn't about tearing anyone down, and it's absolutely not a diagnosis.   This story is part of The Saturday Spill series a little peek into the wild, unfiltered stuff that usually stays on Patreon. Some weeks it's hilarious, some weeks it's jaw-dropping, but it's always real life that doesn't quite fit on the regular show. If you're into a little chaos and behind-the-scenes tea, you're in the right place. If you love it, amazing…you can listen to the full, unedited version here http://Chalene.com/more
