    Listen to the full 50 min Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "I May Take Legal Action Against Martha Stewart" https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-may-take-legal-149557835 Picture this: Chalene is dealing with sensitive and irritated skin around her face and eyes, a skincare product that looks way too fancy to be suspicious, and a quick decision that felt totally harmless in the moment. Then things start getting weird. A little irritation turns into huh that is odd, which turns into a doctor visit and one of those slow dawning realizations where your brain starts quietly replaying everything you have touched recently. It is funny, uncomfortable, and mildly unhinged in the way only real life can be. 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.

    Hybristophilia | Why Are Some Women Attracted to Violent Criminals

    With the release of the new documentary series Handsome Devil: Charming Killer about Wade Wilson, Chalene shares the first episode of a Between Friends series exploring the psychology behind hybristophilia, the phenomenon where people become romantically drawn to violent criminals. In this first episode, she shares a personal story from early in her career that first exposed her to this behavior, then connects it to modern cases that reveal how attraction, manipulation, and control play out behind prison walls. This is not true crime for shock value. It is a psychological deep dive into why these relationships form, how dangerous men exploit empathy and attention, and why understanding these dynamics matters for personal safety.    🚨 This episode includes discussion of violent criminal acts and is not suitable for all listeners.

    Level 57 | This Birthday Hit Different - 1269

    Birthdays usually come with baggage. This one didn't… and that surprised me. In this episode, I'm sharing the very specific thing I did that created a tiny mindset shift and completely changed how I look at birthdays. It started as a joke, stuck in my brain, and somehow turned aging into something that feels lighter and actually kind of fun. I have a feeling this might work for you too. I'm also recapping my birthday weekend which included a perfect day, a few unexpected realizations, and yes… somehow accidentally ending up completely butt naked in front of a total stranger. This one's part mindset, part life update, and very on brand for me.   💥 Hang out with Chalene Live on Patreon!!

    Beach House Catastrophe, Insurance Nightmare, and a Road Trip Gone Wrong

    In this life update, Chalene and Bret share what turned into a full blown catastrophe after a major flood destroyed their California beach house. They walk through the reality of dealing with insurance delays, massive financial decisions, and why coastal properties come with a level of risk most homeowners never see coming. Along the way, the conversation shifts into a surprisingly grounding discussion about money mindset, stress, and how quickly plans and priorities can change. It is honest, sometimes darkly funny, and full of hard earned perspective on loss, gratitude, and not letting stuff define your future. Chalene and Bret also the road trip chaos that took place on their way to visit Chalene's parents.    💥 Hang out with Chalene Live on Patreon!!
