<p><strong>In this deeply honest and unfiltered episode, Chalene gets real about what it’s actually like to be 56 not the highlight-reel version, but the messy, beautiful, contradictory truth of her life today.

She opens up about the hard lessons, the quiet blessings, and the ongoing battle to slow down and just</strong> <strong><em>be</em></strong><strong>. And yep she even shares the story behind one of the hardest (and best) things that ever happened in her marriage.</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>What You Will Learn:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>The hidden downsides of being a personal brand</strong></li> <li><strong>How Chalene decides when to walk away from a successful business</strong></li> <li><strong>The surprising truth about fame, freedom, and public perception</strong></li> <li><strong>Why Brett’s gambling addiction turned out to be a blessing</strong></li> <li><strong>The habits that keep her marriage strong after 35+ years</strong></li> <li><strong>How Chalene manages her time, creative drive, and emotional energy in midlife</strong></li> <li><strong>Why “average” can actually be a secret superpower<br></strong></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>🎯<strong>Try Patreon for 7 Days FREE for all of the FUN content not suited for the regular show!!   </strong> 👉<a href="http://chalene.com/more"><strong>http://chalene.com/more</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p>🎯 <strong>Need a clinician who is trained in women's health and accepts insurance?
