Off The Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe

#961. Jaclyn Johnson has built businesses, sold them, bought them back, started over, and learned that success doesn’t always look the way you think it will.
This week, Jaclyn joins Kaitlyn for a refreshingly honest conversation about the highs and lows behind building Create & Cultivate, what it actually felt like to sell the company she poured everything into, and why buying it back became one of the biggest full-circle moments of her career. She opens up about navigating burnout, a breast cancer diagnosis that shifted her perspective, moving back to New York, and the lessons she’s learned through every major pivot along the way.
Plus, Kaitlyn puts Jaclyn’s investor instincts to the test in a game of Invest or Pass, pitching everything from startup ideas to some of the biggest brands we all know as Jaclyn reveals what she’d invest in, what she’d pass on, and why.
Whether you’ve followed Jaclyn for years or this is your first introduction, this conversation goes far beyond business. It’s about reinvention, resilience, taking risks, and finding the courage to bet on yourself—no matter what chapter you’re in.

#960. Most people know Dhar Mann as the face behind the viral videos that inspire millions around the world. But what you don't always see is everything that happened before the success.
In this episode, Dhar opens up about growing up as the son of immigrant parents, feeling like an outsider, navigating public failure, and why he believes the hardest seasons of life often become the foundation for your greatest purpose. We talk about the businesses that didn't work out, the moment he was ready to quit after creating video after video with little traction, and how one final upload changed everything.
We also get into the serendipitous story of how he met his wife, why he believes every twist and setback in life is leading you exactly where you're meant to be, and the surprisingly funny story behind buying Khloé Kardashian's former home. It's proof that the moments that don't make sense in the moment often end up meaning everything.
Whether you're chasing a dream, picking yourself back up after a setback, or simply trying to figure out what's next, this conversation is a reminder that your biggest breakthrough might be hiding inside the chapter you want to skip!

#959. Manifestation has become such a buzzword... but what does it actually mean, and why does it feel like it's working for everyone except you?
Gabrielle Bernstein is back on Off the Vine to unpack what manifestation really is, why anxiety, overthinking, and perfectionism could be the very things standing in your way, and how healing your core beliefs can change what you attract into your life.
From letting go of control to calming your nervous system, Gabby shares the mindset shifts and everyday practices that have transformed her own life. Then things get personal as Kaitlyn works through one of her own core wounds live on the podcast, uncovering how childhood experiences may still be shaping the way she shows up in her relationships today.
If you've ever felt like you're doing everything "right" but still not getting what you want, this conversation might be exactly what you needed.

#958. Somehow the guy who built a career talking about being single... has a girlfriend.
Jared Freid joins Kaitlyn to share how he ended up getting back together with the woman he once broke up with, why writing his new book Walking Red Flag forced him to relive every dating mistake he's ever made, and what finally changed for him when it came to commitment.
From dating apps and first-date hot takes to the "icks" that are actually valid, Jared shares the dating advice women actually want to hear. He also opens up about taking a year off alcohol, why it unexpectedly changed his life, the surprising reason he decided to try Ozempic, and how he's navigating a healthy relationship after years of talking about dating for a living.
If you've ever overanalyzed a text, questioned someone's mixed signals, or wondered if modern dating is just... broken, this episode is for you.

#957. After spending nearly two decades in the spotlight, Gia Giudice joins Kaitlyn for a candid conversation about growing up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey and navigating life in one of reality TV's most talked-about families.
From dealing with tabloids as a teenager to living through some of her family's most public challenges, Gia reflects on the highs, the lows, and how those experiences shaped the person she is today. She also opens up about moving out on her own, why living alone has been unexpectedly healing for her mental health, and the pressure that comes with being the oldest daughter in a family millions of people have watched grow up.
Gia shares an update on her relationship with her dad and the ongoing effort to bring him back to the United States, talks about gaining Louie as a stepfather, and reveals why viewers will see a more authentic and open version of her on Season 2 of Next Gen NYC.
Plus, details on her new restaurant venture, Il Vero, putting more of her personal life on camera, Bravo hot takes, and a hilarious round of Toast or Roast.
