💥 We could not be more excited for this one, girl—because today we’re sitting down with the one and only Chalene Johnson to talk about the friendships and community every woman needs in midlife.

You may remember Chalene from those iconic fitness infomercials, but these days she’s inspiring millions of women to age happier, healthier, and stronger than ever.

In this conversation, Chalene gets real about the barriers that hold women back from making new friends, how vulnerability opens the door to true connection, and why showing up authentically (yes, flaws and all) is what actually draws people in. We also dig into the biggest reasons women hesitate to put themselves out there—the fears and insecurities that can keep us from building new friendships in midlife.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

✨ Why friendships in midlife aren’t just fun—they’re vital for your health and happiness

✨ The awkward (and totally normal) challenges of making friends as adults

✨ How laughter, honesty, and showing up as your unfiltered self create bonds that last

✨ The power of community to help you navigate life’s changes—from menopause to identity shifts

🥰 This episode is equal parts laughter, honesty, and “ah-ha!” moments. Chalene reminds us that aging can absolutely be embraced with joy—and that with the right people by our side, midlife becomes not just manageable, but magical.

🚨 We know we’ve mentioned it a few times (and yes, again in this episode!)—but that’s because it’s just that good. If you’re craving an in-person midlife experience like no other, check out Chalene’s Camp Be More and join us next year. We’d love to see you there! Go to: https://phaseitup.com/campbemore/
