Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe

#950. Ashley Iaconetti is officially a Housewife.
Ashley and Jared Haibon are back on Off The Vine to share how The Real Housewives of Rhode Island came into their lives, the conversations that happened before the cameras rolled, and what it was really like opening up their family to a completely different kind of reality TV.
They also revisit some unforgettable Bachelor memories, including the story behind Ashley's first kiss with Chris Soules, a text Kaitlyn accidentally sent Ashley years ago that was definitely not meant for her eyes, and how those early reality TV moments still make them laugh today. Plus, they compare the worlds of Bachelor Nation and Bravo, get honest about marriage, parenting two young boys, and navigating life in the spotlight.
Funny, nostalgic, and surprisingly relatable, this episode is full of the kinds of stories that only come out when you've known each other for over a decade.

#949. Can you have a successful career, a strong marriage… and still feel like yourself?
Today, Kaitlyn sits down with Elena Cardone for a conversation that goes way deeper than “having it all.”
From a traumatic moment at 14 that shaped how she showed up in relationships… to leaving everything behind to build a multi-billion dollar empire… Elena shares the mindset shifts that changed the trajectory of her life.
They get into identity, independence, and what it actually means to be in a “support role”—and why she sees it as power, not limitation. Elena also opens up about why she doesn’t bring relationship problems to her friends, the importance of doing your own internal work, and the kind of sacrifice it really takes to build something lasting.
Plus—money. The difference between saving vs storing, how to start thinking like an investor, and what women are getting wrong when it comes to building wealth.

#948. Kaitlyn sits down with bestselling author, performer, and the internet’s brutally honest best friend, “Your Bestie Misha,” Misha Brown.
They get into everything — from his early days performing on cruise ships (and the wild, truly unhinged stories that come with it) to chasing Broadway, getting sober, and completely reinventing his life.
They also dive into his new book Be Your Own Bestie, including the S.A.S.S. approach, what confidence actually looks like in real life, and the viral “Lessons in Not Crossing a Gay Man” series.
It’s funny, real, and feels a little like getting called out by a best friend… in the way you probably need!

#947. Chari Hawkins lived every athlete’s dream by making it to the Olympics… and then had her hardest moment play out on the world stage.
We get into that viral Olympic moment, what it really felt like behind the scenes, and why she chose to keep competing when most people would’ve walked away.
But this goes way deeper—Chari opens up about the mental work it takes to not spiral, shares tools you can actually use in your own life, and what it really looks like to train both physically and mentally at that level.
We also talk about the decade-long grind to the heptathlon, the financial realities of being an athlete, and her next chapter—writing a memoir and a children’s book.
Emotional, eye-opening, and genuinely motivating—this one stays with you!

#946. Nicole Polizzi (Snooki) is here with her real-life best friend Joey Camasta—and we get into how they actually met, why their friendship works, and why Nicole still gets jealous when he hangs out with other people.
We also talk through Nicole’s two decades on Jersey Shore—from what she tells her kids now (yes, “mommy’s an actress”) to why she can’t watch reality TV the same way anymore.
She also shares what it feels like heading into the final season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation as that chapter starts to close… and what could be next.
Nicole also opens up about her recent health journey, why she chose to share it publicly, and the message she hopes other women take from it.
And Joey gets into his hair transplant and gives Kaitlyn a reality check on what it’s really like living in the ‘big apple.’
