Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari

I'm joined by Vienna Pharaon, one of the most sought-after family therapists, to dive into how our family dynamics shape all of our relationships, starting in childhood and echoing into adulthood. We explore the five core origin wounds—worthiness, belonging, prioritization, trust, and safety—and how they show up in parenting, romantic relationships, and even conflict with an ex. We talk honestly about the impact of divorce on kids, navigating co-parenting with a narcissistic ex (especially when they trash you to the kids), and how to help children process emotions when they don’t yet have the words. From teens who won’t open up, to kids struggling with step-families, to the emotional whiplash of moving house-to-house—nothing is off-limits. You’ll learn practical ways to support kids through transitions, ease them back into routine after a tense time at the other parent’s house, and show up for them even when they’re pulling away. We also zoom out to remind ourselves: we’re all going to mess up our kids one way or another—but accountability, repair, and nervous-system regulation go a long way. Along the way, we unpack what a healthy romantic relationship actually looks like, how to calm your nervous system when you’re triggered, and how healing yourself changes everything—for you and your kids.

Justin is back to recap another unhinged LA trip. This week, I'm downloading him on everything- from the slutty Valentine's Day party I went to, to a spray tan that left me feeling vulnerable and exposed. We get into the actors and athletes that I saw on Valentine's Day without their girlfriends, we discuss cheating, aging, and we even touch on more clone/Epstein theories.

Today’s episode is advice for my kids — and really, advice for anyone doing life. These are the lessons I’ve learned over the years that I hope to send my kids into the world with. We talk about trusting your gut, living authentically, letting go of people-pleasing, and why other people’s opinions have nothing to do with you. I dive into self-worth, work ethic, energy, fear, comparison, and what it really means to live a fulfilling life. This episode is about growth, resilience, and learning to let life surprise you — even when it’s hard. Whether you’re a parent or just need a reminder of what matters, this one’s meant to be something you keep in your back pocket.

Nothing is off-limits this week with my new girl crush, Sarah Shahi. She opens up about divorce, co-parenting, and being single for the first time in 23 years. We talk about why she’s done chasing men and making the first move—and how she went from shrinking herself in relationships to fully owning her power, fire, and confidence. Sarah gets real about hyping herself up for those steamy Sex/Life scenes, why she’s focusing on herself more than ever, and the truth behind her on-set romance with Adam Demos—including why she said “I love you” first, and why he didn’t say it back. She also shares why she's going for a slow-burn love now, whether she’d date someone without kids again, and why she’s done rushing anything—except her own joy.

This week’s episode is all about your questions — and as always, nothing is off-limits. We talk about why I don’t believe in regrets (what’s the point?), the different types of love, and how infatuation has absolutely messed with me more times than I’d like to admit. I open up about why I won’t be saying “I love you” for at least six months, how I’ve learned to break toxic cycles, and why we all deserve more than repeating the same unhealthy patterns. We talk motherhood — surviving the chaos of raising little kids, why I stay out of my kids’ drama, and how I feel about turning 40. Plus, my current workout routine, what I eat in a day, and what adult friendships really look like — including how to make new friends when the ones you have aren’t showing up.

My bestie Biegs is back for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what becoming a mom really feels like — the identity shift, the exhaustion, the guilt, and the pressure to love every moment. We discuss having kids younger vs older, how motherhood changes relationships, the mental load no one warns you about, and why two things can be true at once: you can be obsessed with your kids and still find this season incredibly hard.

This week, I’m sitting down with one of my favorites, Rachel Bilson, for a fun, honest, girl chat. From growing up in L.A. and sneaking into Hollywood clubs as a teenager to getting into trouble, Rachel shares how she somehow managed to stay grounded through it all. She talks about getting the partying out of her system early — long before the job that turned her into an early-2000s icon. We dive into that whole era of fame, including the harder parts: the public relationships, the headlines, and how they’ve made her censor herself today. Rachel opens up about dating now and what she’s genuinely looking for — including whether marriage or more kids are still on the table. We break down co-parenting, her relationship patterns, and the surprising peace that comes from being completely content on your own. Rachel also shares the mindset she wishes she’d had in her 20s (and what she hopes younger women hear today). Plus, Rachel on Broadway, Dancing With the Stars, and the mom conversations we all have: wanting our kids to actually come to us in high school, and why she’s holding off on giving her daughter a phone for as long as possible.

This episode is bittersweet for me. I’m sharing the heartbreaking loss of my German Shepherd, Kona, and what it was like saying goodbye, not just for me, but for my kids, who grew up with her by their side. Grief has a way of stopping time… and also reminding you how precious it is. From there, we talk about the energy of the new year: the shedding, the forward momentum, and why this one already feels different. I share a manifestation practice I’m trying in 2026, why I’m writing my goals as if they’ve already happened, and how I’m working to release long-held limiting beliefs around love, career, and the idea that you can’t have it all.

We’re back with another Hills rewatch, and this episode hit me harder than I expected. Going home to Laguna Beach and filming with my dad and step-mom is emotional to revisit now that he’s no longer in my life. It’s wild how one scene can basically sum up our entire relationship. Watching how a narcissist can turn “on” for the cameras, the drama with my step-mom, and why I was genuinely floored she even agreed to film. And yes — her dressing up as me for Halloween comes up. We also get into one of the few real, intense storylines of the show: Holly’s drinking. The moment that made me text Heidi, and how Holly went from that season of life to being 15 years sober and now running her own recovery center for women. Plus, the scene that reminded me of doing a wedding-dress photoshoot the day after calling off my engagement… and the dramatic twist that sent the Justin Bobby–Audrina–me love triangle straight into chaos.

Join Jill Wintersteen (aka Spirit Daughter) and I for an empowering and insightful episode diving into astrology, mindset, and the power of rewriting your reality. Astrology might be the blueprint, but it doesn’t have to be everything. We talk about shifting timelines, removing blocks that keep you stuck, finding the exact root of your trauma, and opening yourself to more abundance. We also break down how your birth chart reveals your biggest life lessons, what your three signs actually say about you, and I finally get an answer as to why love isn’t part of my path at the moment. Plus, with 2026 shaping up to be a huge year for everyone, we’ll get into how you can start setting yourself up now to make the most of it.

While we're all bundled up this winter, I can't help but think about all the places I want to plan travel to when it finally gets warmer. So I’m breaking down my favorite beach destinations and why they’ve earned permanent spots on my travel roster. Whether it’s the comfort of Cabo, the magic of Tulum, the pulse of Miami, or the unforgettable nights in Mykonos, each place has a story and a vibe of its own that keeps me coming back. If you need ideas for your next getaway (or want to daydream), I've got you covered.

I cannot wait for you to hear this conversation with my hypnotherapist, Kristen Eykel, the woman and the modality that have completely shifted my life. Kristen’s story is wild in the best way: she went from being a supermodel in the 80s, living the full sex-drugs-rock-and-roll lifestyle, to becoming a deeply respected healer. And in this episode, she breaks down what hypnotherapy really is… beyond the clichés and way past the “quit smoking” stereotype. We talk about why some of our patterns might come from utero or even a past life and why time isn’t as real as we think it is. Kristen shares why she doesn’t believe you need plant medicine to access deep healing, and how hypnotherapy can take you to the same inner truths with clarity and safety. We also get into overriding fear, remembering our connectedness, and how to stay centered when the world feels heavy. Kristen explains why some souls choose harder lives, why visualization actually matters, and how to release the emotions we keep stored in our bodies. Plus: parallel realities and why no two people experience this world the same way. It’s raw, mind-expanding, and one of the most transformative conversations I’ve had yet.

Dating these days is a whole journey, and today we’re getting into all of it with listener dating scenarios... chasing sparks and butterflies, feeling almost too content being single, and not letting the fear of an ending keep you in something that isn’t right. We’re talking about raising the bar (because it's on the damn floor), why men come on strong and then go cold, and how to finally break the cycle of attracting the same emotionally unavailable guys. We’re digging into situationships, why single moms have nothing to fear in the dating world, and what it actually looks like for women to take their power back and date from a place of confidence instead of scarcity.

We're back for another Hills rewatch episode, and this one takes a wild turn at Brody's birthday party, or as I like to call it "strike one". How producers amped up storylines, what Brody said that genuinely shocked me, and why Spencer swears he never would’ve gotten married if he’d known this one thing. From being drunk on camera to being asked to cry on cue, we’re breaking down the formula that made these shows work… maybe a little too well. And yeah — maybe I took it too far sometimes.

This week, I sit down with my friend and spiritual guide Christine Thompson for an honest conversation around psilocybin, plant medicine, and surrender. We get into how to know when it is (and isn’t) your season to explore plant medicine, why curiosity matters more than “fixing,” and the unexpected skillset you actually need before you ever take a journey. We talk trauma, intention, and why psilocybin isn’t an “easy button.” Christine shares how she discovered the power of mushrooms, the life-changing moment on a Florida beach that cracked her open, and what she’s learned after nearly a decade of guiding others through this inner work.

It’s another wild ride down memory lane as our Hills rewatch continues! This week, I’m dishing on it all — from Audrina standing me up to making out with Justin Bobby, what really went down during those “wake-up” scenes, and the moment I’m still not proud of. I open up about how I managed to separate real life from show life, what I’d love to ask Justin Bobby today, the hardest part of filming reality TV, and the surreal moment I realized… my parents watched all of it.

Justin Anderson is back, and we're asking the burning questions we really want to know about each other — if we don't want to answer... You guessed it, SIP or SPILL, baby! We talk about whether Justin is happy in Nashville, Hills reunions, my icks online, and how social media shows us way too much about actors.

Do you ever notice how the same lessons keep showing up until you finally get them? I've been noticing that lately. This week I’m talking about how life has a funny way of reflecting you right back at you. From a wild night at a medium’s event in Franklin to what I’ve learned about self-love, my boundaries, and overall energy over the last six years, I’m breaking down how our inner world shapes what we attract. It’s not all woo-woo though... it’s about taking ownership, shifting your mindset, and realizing you might just be the common denominator.

Here we go with my first real episode of The Hills! From my “fake” Malibu house to the man-eater reputation, my relationship with Brody, and the producers’ plan for my so-called “character,” I’m breaking down what was real, what was fake, and what got way out of hand. Including that infamous London Hotel fight — how it escalated, why I still stand by it, and what no one saw coming. The tabloids, the pressure, the Justin Bobby storyline… this is where it all began.

Justin is back to discuss this new wave of dating I'm in. It's been a minute since I've been on dates, so I'm catching you guys up on the latest antics.
