Show Notes

A surprise houseguest has taken over the Johnson household—she's lovable, she's obsessed with Bret, and she just might be staying forever (if Chalene has her way). But will Bret agree? Also, two mind-blowing podcasts have Chalene completely rethinking so much, and if you're even a little open-minded, you need to hear about them. Plus, a must-watch documentary that's totally up this audience's alley, and—because why not—a $30 smart ring from TikTok that might just be a total game-changer. It's a life update, a little tea, and a whole lot of fun!
