Keeping Intimacy and Passion Alive | Part 2 with Bret - 370

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!

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.

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.

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.
