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.

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!!

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.

From growing up broke in Michigan to dirt roads, sketchy neighbors, big risks, and parents who were way too young and figuring it out as they went, this episode is funny, honest, and a little chaotic.

Chalene breaks down the case like only she can, with a mix of compassion, disbelief, and questions no one else seems to be asking.

So many women wonder if they've saved enough or started too late — and research shows many will outlive their financial plans by nearly two decades. In this episode, we sit down with Shannon Brome Ward, founder of The Whole Budget and a self-made multimillionaire who began her investing journey later in life, without a background in finance. Shannon now helps midlife women take control of their money, build a plan that aligns with their values, and create real financial security — without fear, shame, or overwhelm. She shares why it's not too late, what most women get wrong about money, and the powerful shift that can change everything. If you've been avoiding your finances, this conversation will leave you feeling capable and inspired.

Chalene and Bret get real about marriage, intimacy, and why so many couples lose their spark after years together. They break down what's actually behind low libido after 40, hormones, stress, resentment, body image, sleep, and all the real-life stuff no one talks about. It's funny, honest, and packed with takeaways for couples who want to reconnect without the shame or awkwardness. There's even a quick role-play on how to bring up hormones and testing, plus an update on Chalene's "age-affirming" surgery and where to watch the full journey. 🔥Join Chalene on Patreon for all the "age-affirming" surgery Updates 👉 http://chalene.com/more 💪🏼Book your virtual visit today with MIDI Health!
