The Book of Caleb

On this episode of The Book of Caleb, we’re spiraling in style—because what do sleep-deprived cravings, 9-drink voicemails, Birkenstock dilemmas, and targeted ads all have in common? Chaos. From the science of why you're hungrier (and dumber) when tired, to the art of ordering coffee without causing a scene, we’re breaking it all down with unsolicited opinions and slightly questionable logic. Oh, and yes… we’re finally talking about that weighted vest trend. 🎧 Press play if you’ve ever eaten a muffin just because you didn’t get enough REM sleep.   Learn more about The Book of Caleb at www.laurencaleb.com and follow Lauren Caleb on Instagram at www.instagram.com/laurencaleb And what about infrared saunas?

Back, Baby. Postpartum thoughts, cold plunge hot takes, crowd anxiety via Travis Scott, and why Michael’s workout 'secrets'?. Plus: co-sleeping, “caretakers,” and the chaos of parenting vs peace without it. Oh—and straws. Always the straws.

What was supposed to be a time-saving upgrade turned into a 15-hour rabbit hole of frustration. In this episode, I share my experience trying to use ChatGPT Pro for a creative project — and how it quickly spiraled into one of the most bizarre and unproductive tech experiments I’ve ever had. From confusing conversations to completely missed expectations, this is a candid look at when AI goes off the rails and why sometimes, “upgrading” isn’t worth it. Perfect for anyone curious about AI tools, frustrated with overhyped tech, or just here for a good story.   Learn more about The Book of Caleb at www.laurencaleb.com and follow Lauren Caleb on Instagram at www.instagram.com/laurencaleb And what about infrared saunas?

We made it to 100 episodes! In this milestone episode, I’m covering everything from my favorite comedians (hi, Spencer Pratt) and the influencer authenticity crisis to body image truths, kids on scooters, and why I’d rather be in a sauna than jogging outside in 80-degree April weather. Plus: NIL deals, the Kardashian-Crumbl collab, my current workout and supplement routine, and that White Lotus finale. It’s real, it’s funny, it’s all the things — just how we do it here.   Learn more about The Book of Caleb at www.laurencaleb.com and follow Lauren Caleb on Instagram at www.instagram.com/laurencaleb And what about infrared saunas?

Sometimes, life feels like one long scroll—a continuous stream of moments, events, and emotions. But every now and then, something happens that makes you stop in your tracks, look up, and take it all in. That’s where we've been these past six months: living through the kind of moments that make you pause, reflect, and recalibrate.   Learn more about The Book of Caleb at www.laurencaleb.com and follow Lauren Caleb on Instagram at www.instagram.com/laurencaleb And what about infrared saunas?
