She shares honest reflections on motherhood, divorce, and what it looks like to rebuild when the life you planned no longer fits.

Gabby Barrett | Competing, Singing, and Falling in Love on American Idol! Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

#914. You may think you know how American Idol works… but Gabby Barrett explains how the audition process actually goes.

This week on Off The Vine, Gabby takes us behind the scenes of Idol in a way you’ve probably never heard before — from how she was really discovered, to what happens before you ever stand in front of the judges, to competing on the show while falling for her now-husband.

After Idol, we get into the song no label wanted… before it changed her life forever and suddenly everyone started calling. We also talk about what tour life looks like with three kids, how she writes heartbreak songs from a happy marriage, and how a John Mayer quote shaped why she never reveals who her songs are about.

AND yes — there’s an embarrassingly honest confession you won’t see coming.

Trust us, this is one of the good ones ;) (get it?).

Trevor Wallace | The Comedian Taking the Internet by Storm and Our Completely Unhinged Riffs! Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

#912. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn is joined by stand-up comedian and internet funny guy Trevor Wallace—aka the man who perfectly captures modern bro culture, White Claw energy, and those unhinged thoughts we all have but usually keep to ourselves. He’s wildly funny, wildly self-aware, and somehow turned it all into a full-blown career.

Trevor talks about starting stand-up at 17 with zero backup plan, the viral videos the internet refuses to forget, the cease-and-desist that changed everything, and the beautifully chaotic Notes app where his funniest ideas are born. They get into dating, random celebrity airplane encounters, their shared misophonia struggle, and just riff off each other nonstop the entire episode.

You’re gonna laugh. You might gasp. You’re absolutely gonna text someone about it.

Dr. Amy Shah | Feeling Burned Out? Reset Your Health for Hormones, Nutrition & Energy! Jan 15, 2026

Show notes

#911. Women have been told to “just deal with it”, and this episode explains why that’s not okay!

Kaitlyn sits down with double-board certified physician and bestselling author Dr. Amy Shah for a conversation every woman needs to hear. They talk about what’s actually happening in women’s bodies in our 30s, 40s, and beyond — and why most of us were never given real guidance around food, movement, stress, or hormones.

Dr. Shah also breaks down her 30-30-3 method and 4-3-2-1 movement framework, giving you simple, science-backed tools you can actually use.

If you’ve ever felt confused, dismissed, or like your body changed without warning — this episode will help you understand why and what to do next. Listen now!
