Chase’s baby, a girl, was born three months after he and Whitney had split.

After celebrating her 36th birthday in isolation, Buddy once again comes to her rescue and moves in with her.

And though her online workout business with Ryan is booming, will they be able to carry on their partnership knowing Ryan is still in close contact with Chase? The season follows Whitney as she fights to get her groove back, leaning on friends, family, and her own resilient determination.
