Show notes

Listen to the full 40 minute Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "Drama Updates, Age Gaps, Dating Shows, Mormon Wives | I Watched So You Don't Have To"

https://www.patreon.com/posts/drama-updates-i-154130065

Picture this: reality TV drama that somehow keeps getting messier, age gaps that make everyone uncomfortable, and shows so chaotic you can't look away. It's opinionated, a little unhinged, and exactly the kind of guilty-pleasure breakdown you didn't know you needed.

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. If you're into a little chaos and behind-the-scenes tea, you're in the right place. If you love it, amazing…you can listen to the full, unedited version here http://Chalene.com/more

Dating, Divorce, and Finding Love in Midlife (Real Talk Between Friends) - 1284 Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

If you've ever thought, what are women actually saying about dating right now, especially in midlife… yeah, this is that conversation. It's a real, unfiltered talk between Chalene Johnson and her friend Aprille Franks, and nothing is off-limits. No scripts, no pretending, just an honest girlfriend conversation about dating apps, divorce, red flags, and why finding a partner later in life feels like a completely different game.

This episode goes straight into the messy middle nobody warns you about. The awkwardness of putting yourself back out there, the frustration with modern dating, and the very real reasons long-term relationships sometimes fall apart after years or even decades. It's honest, a little spicy, and the kind of conversation that makes you feel seen.

There are definitely moments that might make you rethink what you've been told about love, self-worth, and what you should actually be looking for. And if dating lately has felt confusing, exhausting, or just not worth it… this is going to hit a nerve in the best way.

What really happened behind the scenes at Camp Be More… and why everything feels different now. This episode pulls back the curtain on the real story of hosting a live event for 700+ women, including unexpected drama, last-minute chaos, emotional breakthroughs, and the powerful shift that no one could have predicted.

From speaker issues and venue conflict to exhaustion, decision fatigue, and even a bizarre foot massage situation, this is the unfiltered reality of what it takes to pull off a transformational event. But more importantly, it reveals why this year felt so different, not just for Chalene, but for every woman in the room.

If you've ever wondered what it's like behind the scenes of a large live event, how to handle pressure in real time, or why midlife women are craving deeper connection more than ever, this episode is for you.

The 5 Biggest Fat Loss Mistakes Women Over 40 Make - 1282 Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

If it feels like your body just stopped responding to everything that used to work, you are not crazy. Fat loss after 40, especially in perimenopause and menopause, follows a completely different playbook. In this episode, Chalene breaks down why eating less and doing more cardio can actually backfire and what is really going on inside your body. She walks through the biggest mistakes women make when trying to lose body fat in midlife and the small shifts that can finally start moving things in the right direction. This is not about more discipline, it is about understanding your hormones, your metabolism, and learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it.

Peptides for Midlife Health: Benefits, Risks, and What Actually Works w/Dr. Elizabeth Yurth - 1280 Mar 13, 2026

Show notes

Peptides for midlife health are suddenly everywhere, but do they actually work or are they just the newest longevity trend? In this episode, Chalene Johnson sits down with longevity expert Dr. Elizabeth Yurth to break down the growing buzz around peptides and what women over 40 should know before jumping in.

You've probably heard about GLP-1 medications, BPC-157, collagen peptides, and growth hormone peptides, all promising benefits for weight loss, inflammation, muscle recovery, and anti-aging. But with so many supplements, injections, and online sources popping up, it's getting harder to tell what's legitimate and what's just hype.

Together, Chalene and Dr. Yurth unpack what peptides actually are, why they're suddenly everywhere in the longevity world, and why many experts believe peptide levels change as we age.

They also discuss one of the biggest risks most people don't realize until it's too late: where peptides are coming from and why the source matters far more than most people think.

If you've been curious about peptides, GLP-1 medications, or longevity therapies for women over 40, this conversation will help you start asking the right questions before deciding whether they belong in your midlife health routine.

BTS Camp Be More | Let's Talk About What This Actually Costs - 1277 Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

Today, Chalene is breaking down what exactly it costs financially, mentally and physically to put on an event like Camp Be More. The real numbers. The biggest hidden expenses. Why AV is a financial jump scare. What the hotel makes you guarantee. How speaker fees actually work. And why people who do "quick math" on ticket sales are almost always wrong. Want to come this year but need some help? Text us at (949) 312-1868

She will also share how they choose a location, why they intentionally avoided weekend pricing, how she thinks about sponsors without turning the event into a gross sales floor, and the one part of an event that matters more than the speakers.

If you've ever thought about hosting an event, or you just love the behind the scenes tea, you're going to love this one.
