Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe

#938. Ken Rideout has lived a lot of lives—and in this episode, he doesn’t hold anything back. From being a full-blown opioid addict for over a decade while secretly building a high-powered Wall Street career… to becoming one of the fastest marathon runners in the world over 50—his story is as intense as it is inspiring.
Ken opens up about growing up around addiction, the moment everything shifted after a simple ankle injury, and how he managed to hide it all—even from the people closest to him. He shares what it actually feels like to live a double life, the mental battle of getting sober, and the moment he knew he had to change everything before becoming a father.
This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation… and trust me, you’re going to want to come back Thursday for Part 2!

#935. What happens when you walk away from the thing that defined your entire life?
Cheryl Burke gets real about leaving Dancing with the Stars after 26 seasons — and why part of her still wonders if it was the worst decision she’s ever made.
We talk about the identity shift no one prepares you for, going through a very public divorce, and the moment she realized she had to completely start over. She also opens up about sobriety, how it changed every relationship in her life, and why she says she’s lived “nine different lives.”
Plus… how she’s stepping into a whole new chapter with beauty, confidence, and the Sephora Squad.

#934. Sarah Nicole Landry (The Birds Papaya) joins Kaitlyn for a deeply honest conversation about the photo that went viral, the reality behind body acceptance, and why she’s choosing to keep more of her life private these days.
They also get into PMDD, what your 40s actually feel like, and a surprisingly emotional moment from walking in Sports Illustrated — when the crowd’s reaction was something she never expected.
Plus, they talk emotional comfort movies (Kaitlyn’s makes sense… Sarah’s is a little questionable, but hey we’ll let you decide 😉), and the history these two go way back on! Raw, real, and a feel-good chat you’ll want to be a part of! Enjoy!
