Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari

I'm joined by Vienna Pharaon, one of the most sought-after family therapists, to dive into how our family dynamics shape all of our relationships, starting in childhood and echoing into adulthood. We explore the five core origin wounds—worthiness, belonging, prioritization, trust, and safety—and how they show up in parenting, romantic relationships, and even conflict with an ex.
We talk honestly about the impact of divorce on kids, navigating co-parenting with a narcissistic ex (especially when they trash you to the kids), and how to help children process emotions when they don’t yet have the words. From teens who won’t open up, to kids struggling with step-families, to the emotional whiplash of moving house-to-house—nothing is off-limits.
You’ll learn practical ways to support kids through transitions, ease them back into routine after a tense time at the other parent’s house, and show up for them even when they’re pulling away. We also zoom out to remind ourselves: we’re all going to mess up our kids one way or another—but accountability, repair, and nervous-system regulation go a long way.
Along the way, we unpack what a healthy romantic relationship actually looks like, how to calm your nervous system when you’re triggered, and how healing yourself changes everything—for you and your kids.

Justin is back to recap another unhinged LA trip. This week, I'm downloading him on everything- from the slutty Valentine's Day party I went to, to a spray tan that left me feeling vulnerable and exposed. We get into the actors and athletes that I saw on Valentine's Day without their girlfriends, we discuss cheating, aging, and we even touch on more clone/Epstein theories.

Today’s episode is advice for my kids — and really, advice for anyone doing life. These are the lessons I’ve learned over the years that I hope to send my kids into the world with. We talk about trusting your gut, living authentically, letting go of people-pleasing, and why other people’s opinions have nothing to do with you. I dive into self-worth, work ethic, energy, fear, comparison, and what it really means to live a fulfilling life.
This episode is about growth, resilience, and learning to let life surprise you — even when it’s hard. Whether you’re a parent or just need a reminder of what matters, this one’s meant to be something you keep in your back pocket.

Nothing is off-limits this week with my new girl crush, Sarah Shahi. She opens up about divorce, co-parenting, and being single for the first time in 23 years. We talk about why she’s done chasing men and making the first move—and how she went from shrinking herself in relationships to fully owning her power, fire, and confidence.
Sarah gets real about hyping herself up for those steamy Sex/Life scenes, why she’s focusing on herself more than ever, and the truth behind her on-set romance with Adam Demos—including why she said “I love you” first, and why he didn’t say it back. She also shares why she's going for a slow-burn love now, whether she’d date someone without kids again, and why she’s done rushing anything—except her own joy.

This week’s episode is all about your questions — and as always, nothing is off-limits. We talk about why I don’t believe in regrets (what’s the point?), the different types of love, and how infatuation has absolutely messed with me more times than I’d like to admit. I open up about why I won’t be saying “I love you” for at least six months, how I’ve learned to break toxic cycles, and why we all deserve more than repeating the same unhealthy patterns. We talk motherhood — surviving the chaos of raising little kids, why I stay out of my kids’ drama, and how I feel about turning 40. Plus, my current workout routine, what I eat in a day, and what adult friendships really look like — including how to make new friends when the ones you have aren’t showing up.
