Summary
This special Friday episode is a fun two for one. Chalene breaks down her top 10 favorite purchases of 2025 that actually made everyday life easier, comfier, and more enjoyable, from sleep upgrades and style shortcuts to wellness tools that truly earned a permanent spot in her routine. Then the conversation shifts into her most binge worthy documentary and docuseries picks, including jaw dropping true crime, messy family dynasties, cult like power stories, and investigations that stick with you long after you finish watching. She shares why certain stories hit harder, what most people overlook, and which shows are worth sitting down for versus letting play in the background.
