Chalene opens up about something many women experience but rarely talk about—feeling invisible. From landing in LA and instantly feeling dismissed to noticing how differently she’s treated in Miami, she shares raw thoughts on aging, identity, and how society responds to women based on appearance. This episode dives into the psychological toll of losing external validation, especially for women in midlife, and why it’s not about vanity—it’s about identity. Plus, Chalene and Bret get real about keeping passion and excitement alive in long-term monogamy, including insights from therapist Esther Perel that will make you rethink how desire works.

 

 What You’ll Learn:

• Why some women feel invisible as they age—and why it’s deeper than looks
• The unexpected link between your environment and your self-worth
• How social privilege plays into perceived value (pretty, thin, white, etc.)
• Why long-term couples struggle with desire (even when love is strong)
• Practical tips inspired by Esther Perel on reigniting spark in a committed relationship
