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.

In Part 3 of Chalene Johnson's Origin Story she picks up in college and follows the unexpected, very unplanned love story between Chalene and Bret, from a chance meeting at a Michigan State club to building a marriage, a family, and a business from nothing. It is funny, honest, and deeply personal, pulling back the curtain on early ambition, financial stress, identity shifts, and the growing pains that come with building a life together before you know what you're doing. This episode is less about success and more about the messy middle that most people never talk about. If you have ever been in a long term relationship, built something with a partner, or wondered how couples actually survive the hard seasons, this one will hit close to home. 🔥 Join Chalene on Patreon for all the content she can not share on the regular show!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🎉 Camp Be More 2026!!

Listen to the full 50 min Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "Awkward Christmas Conversations" https://www.patreon.com/posts/awkward-146789730 Picture this: a cozy Christmas gathering, multiple generations around the table, and a conversation that quietly crosses a line. What starts as normal holiday small talk suddenly shifts into something awkward, personal, and impossible to unhear. Boundaries get tested, tension creeps in, and the vibe changes in that split second way only family can pull off. It's uncomfortable, funny in a please make it stop kind of way, and painfully relatable if you've ever survived a holiday where everyone pretends nothing weird just happened.

In Part 2 of Chalene Johnson's origin story, things get heavier, messier, and way more revealing. This episode dives into the moment money stopped being abstract and became emotional, personal, and tied to identity at a very young age. From carrying financial responsibility as a kid, to learning how praise, hustle, and ego quietly fused together, this episode explains how independence can become both a superpower and a trap. What starts as resourcefulness turns into pressure, risk, betrayal, and a series of decisions that shaped how Chalene viewed work, worth, and safety long before fame or fitness. And just when everything finally seems to be clicking into place, the story cuts off right as Bret enters the picture and the real complications begin. This is Part 2 of Chalene's origin story. Make sure you're subscribed and watch for Part 3, because the cliffhanger is very real.   🔥Join Chalene on Patreon  for all the "age-affirming" surgery Updates  👉 http://chalene.com/more     💥Book your virtual visit today with MIDI Health!
