Addiction and Forgiveness | My Origin Story Part 3 - 1259

In Part 3 of Chalene Johnson's Origin Story she picks up in college and follows the unexpected, very unplanned love story between Chalene and Bret, from a chance meeting at a Michigan State club to building a marriage, a family, and a business from nothing. It is funny, honest, and deeply personal, pulling back the curtain on early ambition, financial stress, identity shifts, and the growing pains that come with building a life together before you know what you're doing. This episode is less about success and more about the messy middle that most people never talk about. If you have ever been in a long term relationship, built something with a partner, or wondered how couples actually survive the hard seasons, this one will hit close to home. 🔥 Join Chalene on Patreon for all the content she can not share on the regular show!  👉 http://chalene.com/more   🎉 Camp Be More 2026!!
