The Shocking Ohio Family Case, Adele's Big Announcement & My Recovery From Exercise Obsession - 1314
3d ago00:47:37Tap to summarizeChalene has a Travis Kelce wedding update, a personal Travis Kelce story she's mildly embarrassed about, and a correction from Wednesday's episode before getting into a lot. The Siders case in Ohio just got a lot more complicated. Gary Sr. collapsed on his way to court, got released on a recognizance bond, and his attorneys filed two major legal motions on the same day. Chalene walks through what that could mean and why people are raising eyebrows at the timing. Then there's the Turpin family, another case of children isolated for years inside what looked, from the outside, like a completely normal home. Chalene talks about why that one is actually the scarier story, and what it says about how these things stay hidden for so long. Two singers are in the news this week. Adele is stepping away from performing, and she has a reason that is hard to argue with. And Ariana Grande has postponed tour dates, and Chalene does not think it is for the reason everyone assumes. Then there is a harder conversation about the platforms giving massive audiences to people who are clearly in crisis, what responsibility looks like there, and what Chalene knows from her own experience about how long it can take to even recognize there is a problem. She is recording from Cannes, France, and yes, you will hear the mopeds. Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉chalene.com/more 🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: Have you ever looked back and realized something you thought was totally healthy was actually kind of not? Like, when did that finally click for you? Okay, the Turpin family looked completely normal from the outside. Matching outfits, Disneyland trips, the whole thing. Does that change how you look at the people around you? Adele basically said she built an incredible life and now she just wants to live it. No apologies. Does that resonate with where you are right now? Related Links: Sign Up to Get the Weekly Newsletter!! 👉NEWSLETTER Camp Be More 2027 Registration is now OPEN!! 👉 CAMP Chalene's Favorite!

Transcribe →Jon and Kate Plus 8 Collins Abuse Allegations - 1313
5d ago00:51:54Tap to summarizeJon and Kate Plus 8 is back in the news, and it is a lot more complicated than the headlines are making it sound. One of the sextuplets, Colin, has a book coming out in October with abuse allegations against Kate Gosselin. And before anyone picks a side, Chalene wants to take you all the way back to the beginning, because the story of how we got here matters. This episode covers the full arc of one of the most watched families in reality TV history, what actually happened to Colin behind the scenes, why he was sent away for two years to a residential facility, what his dad Jon had to do to even find out where he was, and the psychological phenomenon called family scapegoating that experts say fits this situation almost exactly. But Chalene is not here to hand out a verdict. She has real questions about what role the cameras played, what role the producers played, what role we played as viewers, and whether any of this is as simple as hero and villain. Spoiler: she does not think it is. She also wants to hear from you. What do you remember about watching this show? Because this one hits different when you go back and actually look at it. Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉chalene.com/more 🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: What do you remember about watching Jon and Kate Plus 8? Did you love Kate or did she drive you crazy? Did you ever wonder what growing up on camera was doing to those kids? Have you seen Colin's interview? Are you buying the book? And the Ohio story about the 16 children found in one room, too dark, or do you want Chalene to cover it?

Transcribe →Deadly California Plastic Surgeon, 16 Children saved in Ohio and The Empire State Building Proposal - 1312
1w ago00:44:02Tap to summarizeSixteen children. One room. Twelve feet by twelve feet. The Ohio attorney general stood at a podium this week and said out loud that if investigators had waited one more day, some of them might not have made it. Chalene is breaking this one down carefully, because there's a part of this story that almost nobody is talking about, and it changes everything. Then there's a story that's going to make you think twice before booking any cosmetic procedure. Three patients. One doctor. All within a few months of each other. That doctor is still practicing today, and there's a reason that's completely legal. This one is important. Share it with someone you love. And because the world never stops delivering, two influencers broke into the Empire State Building on Monday night, climbed to the top of the antenna at 1,450 feet, got engaged, and were in handcuffs by morning. Their one comment to reporters outside court is genuinely unbelievable.

Transcribe →Serena Williams Comeback, Taylor Swift Wedding and Must Know New Health Studies - 1311
2w ago00:45:58Tap to summarizeSerena Williams is 44, four years retired, and somehow back at Wimbledon. Everyone wants to talk about the 31 pounds she lost to get there. Chalene's got thoughts on why that's the conversation instead of her game, and a stat about who GLP-1 companies are quietly targeting next that's going to make you raise an eyebrow. (Oh, and she's recording this one from the south of France, so don't mind the church bells.) Then there's Taylor and Travis, the wedding nobody can stop speculating about, the prenup, and the conspiracy theories that have apparently convinced more people than you'd think. Chalene's not buying it, but she's got opinions on why we all can't look away. There's also a book Chalene can't put down, the hormone therapy research nobody's talking about that could be the difference between life and death for women over 40, the real story on creatine dosing, and her usual rant, this time covering QR codes, gym hogs, and the people who text "we should talk" and vanish. Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉chalene.com/more 🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: Why do you think we're so obsessed with celebrity relationships we have zero actual stake in? Have you noticed feeling more capable, more social, or more physical after losing even a little weight, with or without a GLP-1? What's your most irrational pet peeve, the kind you'd never say out loud to the person doing it?

Transcribe →The Truth About Vaginal Health, Hormones, and Intimacy After Menopause with Dr. Anna Cabeca - 1310
2w ago00:56:53Tap to summarizeNobody warned women that their vaginal health could affect everything from their immune system to their marriage. Dr. Anna Cabeca, triple board certified OBGYN and bestselling author known as The Girlfriend Doctor, sits down with Chalene Johnson to talk about the menopausal symptoms women are quietly suffering through and the simple, affordable solutions most doctors aren't mentioning. What's actually happening to the body after 40, why desire disappears before women even understand why, and the three letter term every woman needs to bring to her next doctor's appointment. Dr. Anna also breaks down what women who've had hysterectomies aren't being told about progesterone, the over the counter DHEA cream that runs about a dollar a day, and why a call to your local compounding pharmacist might be the most underrated first step nobody is talking about.

Transcribe →The Hair Trend Taking Over, Midlife Influencers, and Low Contact Families, Plus A Travel Update - 1309
3w ago00:49:31Tap to summarizeGray hair is having a moment, and it's not what you think. Chalene Johnson is breaking down the hair trend that's saving women time, money, and countless hours in a salon chair. Plus, why midlife women are absolutely dominating the influencer space right now, and what Bethenny Frankel's jaw-dropping income confession says about the future of brand deals. Then there's the Beckham family drama that's got everyone talking, but not for the reason you'd expect. Brooklyn Beckham's very public distancing from his parents is shining a light on a trend that's quietly playing out in therapy offices and family group chats everywhere. Going low contact is a term you're about to hear a lot more of, and Chalene shares exactly where she stands on it. Recorded from Paros, Greece, this episode also includes a quick update on what Chalene and Bret have been up to, a travel confession involving an unfortunate amount of cheese and bread, and a new watercolor hobby that somehow turned into a $300 art haul. Join Chalene on her private podcast 👉chalene.com/more 🚨 Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: How do you feel about Bethenny Frankel's level of bold self-promotion? Where do you stand on the "family first no matter what" rule? Once you get married, does your spouse become more important than your blood family?

Transcribe →Taylor Parker Case: What Netflix's "Maternal Instinct" Left Out (True Crime)
3w ago00:57:58Tap to summarizeNetflix's Maternal Instinct made the Taylor Parker case famous, but the true-crime story behind Reagan Hancock's murder (the fake pregnancy, the fabricated medical records, and years of deception) is even more disturbing than the documentary shows. Long before the capital-murder conviction in Texas, friends and investigators were already questioning what about Taylor Parker was real. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the Taylor Parker and Reagan Hancock case from the beginning, including details, testimony, timelines, and evidence that received little attention in Netflix's Maternal Instinct. You'll hear about the fake pregnancy, the relationship with Wade Griffin, the financial schemes, the Pecan Point property deal, the growing suspicions from family members, and the events that ultimately led to Taylor Parker's conviction for capital murder. But the question at the center of this story isn't simply what happened. It's how a person can create an entirely different reality, convince others to believe it, and continue protecting that fantasy even as everything around them begins to collapse. And that may be the most unsettling part of this case. Topics discussed: Taylor Parker, Reagan Simmons-Hancock, Maternal Instinct, Netflix documentary, fake pregnancy case, Wade Griffin, Braxlynn Hancock, true crime, criminal psychology, pathological lying, deception, capital murder trial, forensic psychology.

Transcribe →Brain Fog, Muscle Loss, Ariana Grande and the Netflix Doc You Need to Watch - 1307
4w ago00:47:45Tap to summarizeChalene Johnson recorded this one on the road, starting in New York and wrapping up in Paros, Greece, and it might be one of the most information-packed episodes she's done all year. There's a comparison being made right now that Chalene can't stop thinking about. Two women, both 32, both at the height of their careers. One of them died. The parallels today are ones she felt compelled to address out loud, even without easy answers. Then a study just dropped from Northwestern Medicine that reframes the entire perimenopause and brain fog conversation, and it has nothing to do with hot flashes. If you've ever walked into a room and forgotten why you're there, this research explains something your doctor probably never mentioned. Plus, brand new data from Fitbits and Apple Health devices reveals what's actually happening to people on GLP-1 medications that nobody is talking about yet. And a Stanford study just identified a compound that could change the muscle loss conversation entirely. Chalene also gives you a heads up on a deeply disturbing documentary trending on Netflix right now and why she wants you to watch it before Friday. 🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: Do you think the public conversation around Ariana Grande is helpful or harmful? Have you noticed changes in your motivation to exercise since starting a GLP-1?
