Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe

#921. Arielle Kebbel has spent over two decades in Hollywood, but this conversation reveals the parts of her story she’s never shared like this before. From booking Gilmore Girls just days after moving to Los Angeles at 17, to nearly landing iconic roles that could have changed the course of her career, Arielle opens up about the fear, pressure, and survival mindset that quietly drove her for years. She shares a deeply honest update on her relationship status, what it really takes to break your own patterns, and why choosing yourself can be both the hardest and most empowering decision you’ll ever make. We talk about the emotional pull that led her to adopt her wild Mustang, Snow White, the unexpected role horses have played in her healing, potentially producing the long-anticipated John Tucker Must Die sequel, and stepping into her current meaningful role in I Can Only Imagine 2! This is a raw, vulnerable conversation about identity, timing, and what happens when you finally stop running from yourself.

#920. Before Outlander, Sophie Skelton was working night shifts, facing rejection, and waiting on an audition she wouldn’t hear back about for nearly a year! Then came the trip to Los Angeles where everything went wrong — and the moment that would CHANGE HER LIFE! In this deeply honest conversation, Sophie opens up about the discipline that shaped her, the pressure of carrying an iconic role for nearly a decade, and the self-doubt that didn’t disappear when success finally arrived. She also shares the emotional responsibility of stepping into a real woman’s life in her new film, I Can Only Imagine 2, and why some stories stay with you long after the cameras stop rolling. This episode is about risk, resilience, and what happens when you trust yourself before anyone else does! If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#919. This episode is a full-circle moment in every sense! A few years ago, Blaire Frey came on Off The Vine asking for a boyfriend and Kaitlyn fully committed to her matchmaking era. What started as a fun segment called The Blairette turned into a real love story… one that changed Blaire’s life in ways no one could have predicted!!! In this conversation, Kaitlyn, Blaire, Luke ( and a very special appearance from baby Dawson) look back on how it all began, then fast-forward through the moments that reshaped everything: marriage, motherhood, an early NICU journey, loss, gratitude, and the identity shifts that come with growing up in real time. This is the update you’ve all been asking for! An episode that reminds you life doesn’t always go according to plan — but sometimes it gives you something even better!

#918. Dating advice is everywhere — and somehow it’s made dating feel harder. This week, Kaitlyn sits down with Blaine Anderson, a dating coach and matchmaker who works with thousands of men behind the scenes of modern dating. She shares what women rarely get to hear: how men experience dating, why “good guys” get overlooked, and where connections quietly fall apart. They talk attraction, effort vs. interest, dating apps, and how to tell if a man is being intentional or just keeping his options open. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, they also get real about feeling behind, comparison, and staying open to love without settling. If dating has you confused, burnt out, or questioning the rules — this episode will make you feel clearer, not broken.

#917. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn sits down with actress and author Sarah Shahi for a conversation that’s raw, funny, and completely unfiltered! Sarah opens up about growing up feeling like she didn’t quite fit in, her family’s escape from Iran, and the winding path that took her from pageants and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders to Hollywood — including a chance encounter with legendary director Robert Altman that changed everything. She shares honest reflections on motherhood, divorce, and what it looks like to rebuild when the life you planned no longer fits. They get into the Sex/Life TV show phenomenon, the flood of DMs from women around the world that followed, and how that moment sparked her new book, Life Is Lifey. Nothing is off-limits — from intimacy on set to trusting your gut, fighting fair, and choosing yourself one step at a time. And just when you think you’ve heard it all… Sarah reveals her favorite chapter she wrote — spoiler: it’s the one about blow jobs. You don’t want to miss this one!!

#916. In this Solo Dolo episode, Kaitlyn is coming at you from a very real Nashville winter wonderland — aka an ice storm that knocked out power for tens of thousands of people and turned everyday life upside down!! From hotel vibes to living like a displaced human, she shares what it’s actually like navigating this historic storm and long outages that have plagued Music City for dayyyys. She also talks about asking for help without guilt, protecting your peace like a superpower, and how dancing — even under pressure — can be a form of joy, expression, and full-circle healing. Grab your headphones (or watch on YouTube) and join Kaitlyn as she riffs, laughs, and shares her thoughts on everything from surviving storms to finding little moments of happiness amidst chaos.

#915. REPEAT OUR GREATEST HIT EPISODES: Chelsea. Freaking. Handler. The legendary comedian, best-selling author, and unapologetic queen of telling it like it is joins the pod, and NOTHING is off-limits. Chelsea gets real about turning 50 (and why she finally has the body she wanted at 20), what led her to write this new book and why men have never been the center of her story. She spills on sexting a certain governor, how stacking small wins (and rejections) led to her break in comedy, and her love of… well, you’ll have to listen. Plus, her brutally honest thoughts on cancel culture, the biggest “oops” moment of her career, and why she refuses to fit into society’s mold of what a woman should be. Get a copy of Chelsea’s new book, I’ll Have What She’s Having, available now at chelseahandler.com/book. This one is hilarious, raw, and SO Chelsea. Buckle up!

#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?).

#913. In this solo episode, Kaitlyn dives into the viral “2026 is the new 2016” trend and takes a trip back to all the iconic (and messy) moments that made that year unforgettable. She talks Beyoncé dropping Lemonade, Leo winning his Oscar, Taylor Swift’s breakup with Calvin Harris, and some of the things she personally went through that year! Nostalgia isn’t always warm and fuzzy. For Kaitlyn, it can hit like a chokehold. She gets real about online bullying, public scrutiny, and all the messy moments, but also reflects on growth, therapy, and learning how to survive it all. Then she flips the mic to listeners. Kaitlyn answers questions and wants to know, what was your 2016 like? Comment, leave a review, and let’s get nostalgic together!

#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. Listen or watch now! If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below! PLUS, FOLLOW OUR PODCAST INSTAGRAM HERE!

#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. In this episode, you’ll learn why perimenopause can start much earlier than you think, how nutrition (not dieting) plays a major role in energy, mood, brain fog, and weight, and why the way women move, recover, and manage stress needs to look different. 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!

#910. You may know her from the Girls Gotta Eat duo, but this time Rayna Greenberg is flying solo! Kaitlyn and Rayna catch up on what actually makes someone sexy, dating women, and their very honest thoughts on marriage. Rayna also spills on stepping out on her own with her brand-new solo tour, Honestly, It’s You, and what it’s really like breaking away from the duo dynamic. Things quickly spiral into conspiracy theories, bold hot takes, a surprisingly deep debate about choosing one song to listen to forever, and plenty of chaotic, unfiltered tangents you won’t want to miss.

#909. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn gets cozy with her favorite guests… her niece and nephew, Sydnee and Brody! While in Nashville, they kick things off by interviewing Kaitlyn — asking the questions only family can get away with — before she flips the script and dives into their world. From teenage insecurities and unexpected successes to moments Kaitlyn definitely didn’t expect to explain to family, nothing is off limits. They share unfiltered takes on life, school, social media, and what it’s like growing up with an aunt who’s… very online. Things get heartfelt, awkward, and hilarious — especially when they wrap it up with a game of “Gas or Ass” that goes exactly how you think it will. Tune in for laughs, life lessons, and family moments that prove some things are just better shared with the people you love.

#908. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn sits down with radio powerhouse Bobby Bones — and what starts as a conversation about success quickly turns into one of the most raw and unexpected episodes we’ve ever recorded. Bobby opens up about growing up with very young parents, childhood without money, and realizing early on that he was chasing love through performance. He shares deeply personal stories he hasn’t told in years — including why vulnerability didn’t feel safe, how success complicated trust, and an unexpected act of kindness that left him emotional for days. And yes… we go there on Dancing With the Stars! Bobby clears the air on the Mirrorball controversy, what was really happening behind the scenes, and reads a never-before-opened DM from Tom Bergeron for the first time on the podcast. We also get into identity, rejection, why Bobby has never had a sip of alcohol, the anxiety that still keeps him up at night, and an embarrassing childhood story that’s both traumatic and hilarious.

#907. REPEAT OUR GREATEST HIT EPISODES: In this transformative episode, Kaitlyn sits down with the legendary Mel Robbins, bestselling author and motivational powerhouse, to explore the game-changing “Let Them” theory.

#906. Brianna LaPaglia is back on the pod — and 2025 treated her like the full-on rollercoaster it was. In this episode, she’s spilling everything: the fear, the growth, the career pivots, the solo adventures, and all the stuff she’s never had the chance to fully explain. We talk the iconic Tarte Turks & Caicos trip, surviving Special Forces (and yes, the pain, sweat, and chaos that came with it), saying goodbye to BFFs and saying hello again to PlanBri Uncut, learning to be alone for the first time in forever, and the kind of self-discovery that hits differently when you’ve been through a lot. Plus, she’s giving us the real talk on dating, life lessons, and what she’s bringing into 2026!

#905. What’s actually worth your money when it comes to injectables, lasers, and skincare… and what’s just hype? Kaitlyn sits down with her trusted injector and go-to skincare expert, Elisabeth Smith, for a no-BS beauty chat that answers the questions everyone is quietly Googling. From Botox myths that refuse to die, to how to actually find a good injector in the age of social media, they break down what works, what doesn’t, and what can seriously go wrong if you’re not informed. Kaitlyn also walks through a treatment she’s doing that day, why it makes sense for her skin, and how to think about timing, safety, and expectations. They get into the treatments people love to hate, what delivers the biggest return on investment, budget skincare that’s genuinely worth it, and the beauty advice online that makes professionals cringe.

This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn sits down with actress Elaine Hendrix — you may know her as Meredith Blake from The Parent Trap — for a conversation that goes way beyond the movie you think you know her from! Elaine opens up about returning to dance decades later on Dancing with the Stars, why she was convinced she was going home every single week, and how a cracked rib nearly took her out of the competition. She shares what viewers didn’t see: the nonstop rehearsals, emotional whiplash, intense competitiveness, and why the timing finally felt right to say yes after turning the show down before. We rewind to the moment that changed everything — being hit by a car just as her dance career was taking off — and how living with chronic pain reshaped her relationship with her body and work. Elaine also reflects on landing The Parent Trap at 26 (as the 433rd actress to audition), why Meredith Blake has become a millennial icon, and how fans’ relationship with that character has completely flipped. Honest, funny, and full of perspective, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss! If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

#903. Comedian, actor, theater kid, chaos enthusiast — Gianmarco Soresi joins Kaitlyn for a laugh-out-loud, no-notes-needed episode recorded in New York City. Gianmarco opens up about starting out as a musical theater kid with Broadway dreams, how singing still sneaks its way into his comedy, his time on movie sets (yes, one involved J.Lo), and why he genuinely enjoys being bullied at SoulCycle. They riff on reality TV, producers, hecklers, triggering April Fools jokes, long-term relationships, creative highs, embarrassing on-stage moments, and a very questionable TV show idea involving… small weens. It’s silly, honest, and the kind of conversation that only happens when two people are fully cracking each other up — basically, the perfect episode to throw on when you want to laugh and feel like you’re hanging out with friends.
