Off The Vine With Kaitlyn Bristowe

You may know today’s guest Mae Whitman from her roles in top TV shows including Good Girls, Parenthood and even a throwback episode of Grey’s Anatomy, or as the co-host of Friday Night Lights rewatch podcast "It's Not Only Football: Friday Night Lights and Beyond" … but did you also know she’s a Bachelor Nation super fan? Well, she’ll prove it. Kaitlyn and Mae sat down on Tuesday following Zach’s hometowns (but before Women Tell All & Charity’s Bachelorette announcement… congrats, Charity!) to talk all about this season and BTS of the franchise in general. And, these two don’t just have their love of the franchise in common; they’re both raging Geminis and extreme dog moms who are avid fantasy suite sexy time supporters. Plus, Mae was kind of The Bachelorette, too, if you count her voicing that role on Family Guy — which you should. They also get into Mae’s career as a child actor, what it was like working with Kaitlyn’s hall pass (#welovePaulRudd), how Mae would act as a contestant on the show, and all t

It’s been two years since Savannah Chrisley was on the mic with Kaitlyn, and it’s an understatement to say that a LOT has happened since their last conversation. Per usual, Savannah is not holding back as she opens up about all that has changed since 2021, including officially being “off” with her on-again,-off-again former fiancé, navigating life with her parents in prison, raising her siblings at just 25 years old, and finding herself through her new podcast, Unlocked. With all that’s going on, Savannah still manages to look on the bright side and continues to educate herself in the fight for her family. She reveals whether she’s resentful of her parents, what her dating life looks like now, how her relationship with God has evolved, and how she handles the negativity from the public eye. Kaitlyn wraps the pod by unlocking some of Savannah’s private life in a game of rapid-fire. And, don’t miss Kaitlyn on Savannah’s podcast for part one of their nothing-off-limits conversation!  Thank you to our sponso

Michelle and KB are reunited and it feels SO good. Nearly two years after her Bachelorette “journey,” Michelle is sharing what life looks like now, from shifting her career to choosing to remain a part of the Bachelor franchise to continuously learning more about herself. The two are getting into Zach’s season of The Bachelor, including what Michelle thinks of the women of his season after meeting several of them and why she feels she lost out during her time on the show. Kaitlyn learns why returning to the classroom was both Michelle’s downfall and saving grace, and why Michelle has decided to share her experience with anxiety and mental health through social media following the show. Plus, they’re talking about the ridiculous notion that women lose value when they’re not part of a relationship, the highlights of their year so far, and dealing with keyboard warriors. Stay tuned this Thursday to hear part two of this convo, where Michelle dives into her new career endeavors and opens up about her breakup. Th

Three kids, two reality TV shows, and one new company later, it’s safe to say that today’s guests have a LOT going on! Bachelor Nation couple, Lauren and Arie, join KB to catch up on all the exciting things happening in their lives after just celebrating their four-year anniversary. They share how they navigate living their lives in the public eye, how they keep their relationship fresh, and what’s it like raising not one, not two, but three Gemini babies. And of course, these alums have to reminisce on their Bachelor days, which comes full circle with their new company Duo, an app that provides the best date ideas and even sets couples up on surprise (some might say Bachelor-esque) outings! Arie and Lauren give some hot dating tips for K&J, share a pretty painful confession from their early days together, and play two truths and a lie to see how well they know each other after these past four years. We also get some listener questions, a Zachelor recap, and a manifesting moment to wrap it all up! Thank y

Firecracker, fellow ambivert, “entertainer,” and the TikTok queen herself, Kat Stickler, joins Kaitlyn to talk everything from public breakups to creating viral content to the videos she wishes she didn’t post. Kat has had a wild couple of years, and she’s shared the high highs and low lows with her audience on social media, proving you never need to cry alone if you have the internet on your side. Per usual, Kat is not holding back as she talks to KB about her 10 (!!) million TikTok followers, what it’s like raising her baby girl post-divorce, and how her humor and positivity from her former career with the VA translates to her social media.

When Jonathan Van Ness tells you to have an Olympic gymnast and fellow-Canadian sweetie on the podcast, you listen. The one and only three-time Olympian Ellie Black joins Kaitlyn to talk about everything gymnastics, and it turns out a lot of her wisdom applies to so, so much more than sports… who woulda thought? Ellie is sharing how she got involved in the sport, what training and recovery look like, how she calms her nerves before heading into competition, and why she chooses to compete whenever possible with a flower in her hair. She’s also opening up about mental health in the world of gymnastics and beyond, and why it’s so important to have role models like Simone Biles standing up for themselves and their well-being. No matter how incredible these athletes are, they are still humans first, just like the rest of us. Plus, we get to witness another Canadian use the word “chirp” and hear Kaitlyn’s thoughts on this week’s episode of The Bachelor. Thank you to our sponsors! Check out these deals for the Vino

Kaitlyn’s friend, licensed marriage and family therapist, and now-author Vienna Pharaon AKA @mindfulmft is back on the pod to continue our lil mental health journey. Yes, Kaitlyn, Vinos, and everyone out there … we are all on this (sometimes dysfunctional) healing path together! Vienna explains how her own origins and childhood wounds led her to a career in therapy and more recently, to writing her new book, The Origins of You. Her book will help readers of all backgrounds identify wounds from their families of origin to ultimately heal, rewire, and improve themselves and their relationships. As Kaitlyn continues her own post-retreat healing journey, she opens up about noticing small shifts in her everyday patterns and ways of thinking, and continues to ask the questions that we all wonder: Is it ever the case that ignorance is bliss? Does time heal all wounds? And, what does healing actually look like? Let’s grow together, Vino fam!  Thank you to our sponsors! Check out these deals for the Vinos: PELOTON - E

Fashion and lifestyle influencer, not to mention OG Bachelor fan, Dani Austin joins Kaitlyn for today’s therapy session centered all around her hair loss journey, motherhood, and putting herself out there on the interwebs for an entire decade.

The Kardashians may have posted about it, too … no big deal. Dani also shares what it’s like being named as one of Forbes Top 50 Creators (and the BTS of a Forbes party), why she decided to play matchmaker for her brother (and which Bachelor stars helped out), and what mom guilt and postpartum has looked for her as she raises two under two.  Thank you to our sponsors!

Today’s episode is one of Kaitlyn’s all-time favorites, and we’re betting it will be one of yours too after you hear her conversation with award-winning host of On Purpose, Chief Purpose Officer at Calm, and New York Times bestselling author, Jay Shetty. No matter what phase or stage of love you’re in or whether you find yourself in solitude this Valentine’s Day, there is so much to take away from their discussion, from attracting the right person to putting a stop to unhealthy relationship patterns to defining what it actually means to be in love. Jay’s new book, 8 Rules of Love, is all about developing the skills to love and controlling what’s in our hands, and he’s sharing why Hollywood romance and what we grow up seeing as “true love” can take us in the wrong direction. The tangible tips and incredible insight from their dialogue is bound to alter your perception of love moving forward and maybe just change how you find, keep, and let go of love throughout your life.  Jay's second book, 8 Rules of Love, i

Started in the prairie, now we here! So, let’s go girls. Lindsay Ell, a Canadian gal turned Nashville star, joins Kaitlyn IRL for a long overdue catchup about everything from a recent trip with her boyfriend (yes, boyfriend!) to her upcoming tour with Shania Twain (yes, Shania!) to a rock bottom moment that’s further proved that healing is a lifelong journey. The two have plenty to discuss when it comes to comparison culture and true vulnerability, and they are both opening up about all things body image, relationships, and self love. Lindsay reveals how her upcoming tour with Shania came to be, the beauty of laughing in the places we once cried, and how she’s learned to care less what everyone thinks. And, her confession takes place during her first time performing at Madison Square Garden. No biggie.

Coming right off Not Skinny But Not Fat, Kaitlyn was honored to welcome this Vine-y for a Part 2 to talk all things celebrity gossip, reality TV, and anti-bucket-list goals. Amanda Hirsch may have started her brand as a small meme account (we’ll get into that) but it wasn’t long until she was literally eating salads with the Kardashians, and she fills Kaitlyn in on how she infiltrated this famous family by passing some cryptic tests. The two are also manifesting a four way interview with themselves and the power couple that is Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, sharing their BHAGs (big, hairy, audacious goals), and giving their thoughts on Bachelor Nation.

Newlyweds Tay and Taylor Lautner (AKA girl Tay and boy Taylor) join KB in Nashville to talk about everything from The Bachelor to mental health and Taylor shares maybe the best confession we’ve ever heard on the pod. They tell us the adorable story of how they met, the importance of 1111 and butterflies in their lives, and how their recent focus on mental health has transformed into a new podcast and more. As an OG Bachelor fan, boy Taylor is ready to tackle the bios for Zach Shallcross' season of The Bachelor!

While Kaitlyn is away doing her own inner child work, we thought why not bring some more resources to the Vinos? Two licensed therapists, Emmalee and Jennifer AKA the ShrinkChicks, are diving even deeper into the topics discussed in Tuesday’s inner child work episode. They’re answering all of your questions when it comes to embracing your inner child and entering your healing journey: Is this work going to change how I feel about my parents?

Plus, they share resources to get started on your healing journey whether you’re looking to enter traditional therapy or hoping to do this work on your own. They wrap by calling some therapy BS and practicing what they preach by embracing their inner children and delivering some quality therapist jokes.  Books Emmalee and Jennifer would recommend include:  Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay Gibson  Recovery of Your Inner Child by

How can we raise our children without harming their inner child? And what can we do to work on our inner child outside of traditional therapy (there’s plenty!)? Em, Jen, and KB are very vulnerable in today’s episode as they use examples from their personal lives to dig deep into inner child wounds, anti-relational behaviors and cycles we fall into, and even share confessions from their childhood.

So, to get all the answers to her many questions, Kaitlyn invited dream expert, speaker, and author Kelly Sullivan Walden AKA Doctor Dream on the pod to hear directly from the source!

These two were long overdue to join the Vinos so today, KB, Clea, and Joanna are catching up on what has happened in the past 5 (!!) years since they were on the pod. It’s safe to say a lot has gone down in the past half-decade; Clea has overcome cancer, the two have found more success than ever, and both women still know how to share a cringeworthy confession. Clea and Joanna share their intentions going into 2023, reveal whose house they want to organize and the weirdest items they’ve had to organize in the past, and give a behind the scenes on Nashville’s most beautiful friendship.
