The Chalene Show | Diet, Fitness & Life Balance

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.

Walking is great… but it is not building your glutes the way you think it is. Research shows brisk walking activates less than 32 percent of the glutes, and weak glutes are strongly linked to back pain, slower metabolism, and higher fall risk after 40. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the five science-backed glute exercises that actually turn your lower body back on and explains the subtle form tweaks that make all the difference. This is not about vanity. It is about metabolic health, structural strength, and protecting your body as you age. If you want stronger knees, a healthier back, and real lower-body strength after 45, this is where to start.

I told one small lie… and somehow ended up orchestrating three full blown ambushes across the city of Dallas.
What started as a simple girls trip turned into wigs, disguises, fake Instacart drivers, a sign spinning maniac outside a restaurant, and an Uber driver blasting mariachi music while swerving to the beat. I had to keep everyone separated, stagger flights from the same city, invent a connection to Troy Aikman, and pray nobody compared notes. It was chaos. The fun kind. Bret's here too… 
This one is messy, loud, and very on brand for what happens when women who've known each other for decades refuse to act their age.

🔥We also get into:
• The unspoken rule about one sided friendships
• Why our girls trips have naturally gotten smaller
• How we completely blow out our energy in the first quarter
• The weird 7 Eleven bar with no name and a DJ hiding inside his hoodie
• Why themed outfits actually make trips easier
• And the 88 year old woman in Dallas who might have been the real highlight of the entire weekend

Listen to the full 50 minute Between Friends episode. Go Directly to this Patreon Episode "No I Don't Want to Talk to Your Team"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/no-i-dont-want-150720002
Picture this: a simple invitation, a promising connection, and one sentence that changes the entire tone of the conversation. What should have been an easy yes turns into layers of back-and-forth, unexpected demands, and a moment that forces a serious reality check. It's unfiltered, slightly shocking, and the kind of behind-the-scenes story that makes you see "I'll send this to my team" in a whole new light.
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

Midlife can feel like your body suddenly changed the rules. The supplements that once boosted energy, hair growth, and metabolism might now be causing bloating, acne, brittle hair, belly fat, dry skin, hormone imbalance, and even abnormal lab results. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the popular supplements many women over 40 are still taking that could be quietly sabotaging their health, thyroid labs, skin barrier, bone density, and hormones. If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore, this conversation will challenge what you think you "should" be taking. This is not about fear. It's about testing, not guessing, and making smarter choices in midlife.
