Summary

In this episode, Chalene Johnson sits down with her best friend for a candid chat about the awkward, hilarious, and often surprising world of sober dating. Along the way, they share plenty of laughs, especially as they recount her friend’s (let’s just say... questionable) crafting skills. Later, Chalene is joined by her husband Bret for an honest discussion about a conflict they had earlier in the day. They explore how Chalene's ADHD tendencies and his “let’s-ignore-it” approach can sometimes lead to misunderstandings—but also how they’ve learned to respect their differences and work through challenges in a healthy, constructive way. This episode is a heartfelt mix of humor, vulnerability, and practical problem-solving.

What You’ll Learn:

🌟 How to navigate relationships with differing communication styles.

🤔 Real talk on going alcohol-free and its impact on relationships.

🧠 Insights on how ADHD can affect time management and decision-making.

💬 Tips for effective communication during conflict resolution.

But guess what? You don't even have to wonder because I did have this conversation.

I had it with my good friend, my best friend, Dr. Michaela Sarno, and we just

1:24.6

All right, let's do this. Are you excited about the TikTok dresses I shared

with you? Oh, I'm really, really excited. I might even like go as far as sewing stuff on my own

little button situation, you know? It looks so cute. But then again, maybe I shouldn't. Can you
