A space where you say what you’re really thinking. The lifestyle blog and podcast by Lauren Caleb. How to manage all of the things in a distracting world - current happenings, wellness, beauty, family, home and more. Laugh and learn something too.
On this episode of The Book of Caleb, we’re spiraling in style—because what do sleep-deprived cravings, 9-drink voicemails, Birkenstock dilemmas, and targeted ads all have in common? Chaos. From the science of why you're hungrier (and dumber) when tired, to the art of ordering coffee without causing a scene, we’re breaking it all down with unsolicited opinions and slightly questionable logic. Oh, and yes… we’re finally talking abou...
Back, Baby. Postpartum thoughts, cold plunge hot takes, crowd anxiety via Travis Scott, and why Michael’s workout 'secrets'?. Plus: co-sleeping, “caretakers,” and the chaos of parenting vs peace without it. Oh—and straws. Always the straws.

From confusing conversations to completely missed expectations, this is a candid look at when AI goes off the rails and why sometimes, “upgradi...
We made it to 100 episodes! In this milestone episode, I’m covering everything from my favorite comedians (hi, Spencer Pratt) and the influencer authenticity crisis to body image truths, kids on scooters, and why I’d rather be in a sauna than jogging outside in 80-degree April weather. Plus: NIL deals, the Kardashian-Crumbl collab, my current workout and supplement routine, and that White Lotus finale. It’s real, it’s funny, it’s a...

Sometimes, life feels like one long scroll—a continuous stream of moments, events, and emotions. But every now and then, something happens that makes you stop in your tracks, look up, and take it all in.
