54: Chelsea has shared many updates in her intros of recent podcasts about her big move to Australia. But why did she actually move? Job? Boy? Crisis?

In today's solocast, Chelsea shares the reason why she moved. She also shares where her love o...

53: Doesn't working on a yacht in the South of France sound luxurious? Wake up to gorgeous sunrises, surrounded by wealth, luxury, and glassy waters? Well... that's part of the job, but it's not as glam as it seems. If you've watched Below Deck on Bravo, you know this. Actually, one of the cast members called it "being a janitor on a floating toilet"... YIKES. Is that...

49: We've all had dark days. Not wanting to get out of bed, wanting to just binge eat for days, skipping workouts, wanting to call out of work.

43: Serena Wolf is a healthy(ish) chef, blogger, author of The Dude Diet, and beauty & wellness junkie who lives for good food, great people, and bad tv (according to her). But when I sat down with her, she can also add a free-spirited badass, with a whole ton of moxie to that list. She went to Paris to train at Le Cordon Bleu for culinary school, and... then put in some SERIOUS time doing shi...

People feel bad for you, question your past relationships, wonder when you're going to find "The One"... it can be tough...
