Podcasts about messy truth

The way you relate to power is the way you relate to everything around and within you–your work, your people, your sense of what's possible. And most of us have never actually examined that relationship.And in this season we are in, when everything is changing so quickly, any unexamined beliefs we hold will quietly run the show. They will shape the risks we take, the rooms we walk into, and the moments we either step up or shrink back. If we don't have something to ground us internally to our values, our body, our nervous system, and our beliefs, we run the risk of looking to external validation and trying to control everyone and everything around us. We do damage control and play nice at the expense of real connection and progress.Which is why I am thrilled to welcome back Dr. Amanda Aguilera to talk more about the Right Use of Power framework for personal power and her new book, Shaping Power for Good: Wayfinding to Right Relationship. She reminds us that staying rooted and using our personal power for good isn't a box to be checked, but a continuous practice and commitment to ourselves and our relationships. Dr. Amanda Aguilera currently serves as the Executive Director of the Right Use of Power Institute and co-leader of Sacred Wayfinding. She has dedicated most of her career to helping people and organizations understand systems, conflict, and social power dynamics to create right relationships and a sense of belonging. She has a knack for making difficult conversations easier, complex ideas more accessible, and resistance more workable. Integrating power, contemplative practices, neurobiology, and restorative practices, she works by finding a balance of head and heart and facilitating the co-creation of strategic maps that lead us forward in a more equitable way.Listen to the full episode to hear:Defining the six core types of power through the lens of relationships to others, ourselves, and the collectiveHow four essential aspects of being in right relationship show up in us and othersWhy checking in on power and relationships starts with connecting to our bodies How committing to being in right relationship helps us overcome how we've been socialized to access power and belongingWhy right relationship fundamentally starts with ourselves, our boundaries, and our valuesHow each of us can use our power for good, conscientiously and in alignment with our valuesLearn more about Dr. Amanda Aguilera:Right Use of Power InstituteInstagram: @rightuseofpowerinstituteShaping Power for Good: Wayfinding to Right RelationshipLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:ParenthoodEP 88: Right-Use-of-Power: Navigating Leadership Dynamics with Dr. Cedar BarstowEP 125: Power, Regulation, and Leadership: Connecting to Your Personal Power with Dr. Amanda AguileraBelonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, Geoffrey L.

What does it take to turn a blank space into an unforgettable experience? In this episode, Carl Rhodes—Creative Director and exhibit design veteran—pulls back the curtain on the creative journey behind today's most engaging museums.Starting as a painter unsure of his path, Carl shares how a willingness to explore led him into exhibition design, where storytelling, space, and technology intersect. He discusses how great ideas rarely arrive fully formed, but instead emerge through collaboration, iteration, and a bit of creative chaos.From rethinking how visitors connect with history to shaping experiences that resonate emotionally, Carl explores how narrative and physical interaction influence what we remember. Along the way, the conversation tackles key questions: When should designers enter the process? How do you balance innovation with authenticity? And what role should AI play in creative work?It's an honest, thought-provoking look at designing experiences that truly connect.

Antidepressants demonstrate modest but real benefits for moderate-to-severe depression, with large meta-analyses showing consistent advantages over placebo and meaningful improvements in function for many patients, yet these gains are often smaller than portrayed and heavily influenced by high placebo responses.
The evidence base comes with important limitations, including publication bias, short trial durations, industry influence, and challenges in blinding, which can inflate perceived efficacy while understating long-term risks such as sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting, and weight gain reported more frequently in real-world surveys.
Navigating antidepressants requires pragmatic humility: they are a valuable tool for the right person at the right time when used with careful monitoring, deprescribing when appropriate, and combined with therapy and lifestyle changes, rather than as a one-size-fits-all solution or something to fear outright.

What does it really take to build a category-defining brand? In this episode of She Believed She Could, Allison Walsh sits down with Alli Webb, founder of Drybar, author of The Messy Truth, and creator of the new beauty brand Messy. Alli shares the behind-the-scenes journey of building Drybar into a revolutionary beauty brand that changed how women experience hair care. From launching a simple $35 blowout concept to scaling a beloved national brand, Alli reveals the mindset shifts, risks, and lessons that shaped her entrepreneurial journey. She opens up about navigating motherhood while building a company, the messy realities of growth, and why reinvention is part of every successful founder's story. Alli also discusses her newest venture, Messy, inspired by embracing natural hair texture and individuality, and why relationships, resilience, and belief in yourself matter more than any traditional career path. If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or dreamer with a big idea, this conversation will remind you that success isn't linear—but belief in yourself can change everything.   Connect with Alli: Website: https://www.alliwebb.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alliwebb LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alliwebb/   Work with Allison: Ready to turn your story into a service-driven brand that opens doors and expands your impact? 

In this revealing episode, MTMJ and his wife pull back the curtain on real relationships—sharing firsthand stories that challenge conventional wisdom about marriage dynamics.

Plus, hear rare insights about the true cost of past resentment, why couples keep repeating the same arguments, and how humor and honesty can bridge even the biggest gaps.This episode is perfect for couples who want to decode the unspoken rules, or anyone curious about the secret pressures that shape long-term commitment.

Ever feel like business is just one long game of “try this, ditch that, oh hell no not again”? In this episode, I share the very real highs and lows of experimenting with new platforms, specifically my fresh leap into Skool (yep, spelled S-K-O-O-L). I talk about: The difference between busywork and needle-moving work. Why I left Facebook groups (and why I missed them). What Skool feels like compared to the “old Facebook days.” How I'm using theme days like Messy Monday and F*ck Yeah Friday to spark real conversation. The gamification element, from Silent Supporter to Nope Ninja, and why prizes make it fun. The deeper invitation: stop people-pleasing, stop performing, and start being unapologetically YOU! Whether you're curious about Skool, craving connection, or just need permission to step into your own Done Era, this episode will give you both laughs and a nudge to do things your way.

Building a successful coaching business takes more than certifications, social media posts, or the “perfect” funnel. It takes confidence, resilience, and a willingness to face the messy truth of what it really means to be a coach and entrepreneur.In this week's episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm joined by Carey Peters—six-time founder, multi-million-dollar business builder, and co-founder of the Health Coach Institute—for a deep dive into the realities of coaching, entrepreneurship, and the mindset shifts that new (and experienced) coaches need to succeed.Carey shares openly about the fears and doubts she faced early on, and gives us a glimpse into how she didn't begin as the master coach who would go on to certify thousands of health and life coaches—but built her confidence, expertise, and businesses step by step. Together, we dig into the real journey—because building confidence in your coaching, your business, and yourself doesn't happen overnight. It happens in the mess.We talk about:✨ Why information isn't transformation—and what actually makes coaching valuable✨ The visibility fears every coach faces (yes, even seasoned performers)✨ Why niche is non-negotiable (and why it evolves over time)✨ The messy but necessary “testing” phase of business growth✨ The difference between investing in your skills vs. investing in your business✨ How to know when resistance is fear—and when it's misalignment✨ Why conversations—not funnels—are still the foundation of a thriving coaching business✨ The six things Carey believes every coach must master to succeed now and in the futureThis episode is part encouragement, part reality check, and part masterclass in what it really takes to grow a coaching business that lasts.If you've ever thought, “Am I cut out for this?” or worried you're somehow behind, you need this episode. It's going to remind you that you're not broken, you're not late, and you're not alone. You're simply in the process of building the confidence and resilience that every successful coach before you has had to build, too.You can connect with Carey on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Dylan Foss returns to share his full story: from growing up the youngest of five and falling in love with sports, to navigating serious injuries, studying athletic training, and eventually building his own brand, Limitless Theory. We talk about the messy, winding path of becoming a coach, why nutrition and movement are never just about food or workouts, and how fatherhood shifted his mission toward helping dads put their health back on the priority list. Dylan also dives into thought-provoking conversations about black-and-white thinking in fitness, why “good” and “bad” rarely apply so simply, and how deeper self-understanding is the foundation of real health.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Dillan Foss is currently living in sunny South Florida creating a family and the Limitless Theory brand.

When Chrissy Horton, content creator and mother of six, joined the show, a clip from our conversation went viral with more than 8 million views on X and set off a wave of controversy. The reason was simple: we suggested that men can choose lifelong celibacy as a priest or abstain from sex in marriage during postpartum recovery.Now Chrissy is back, and this time her husband Tim joins the conversation. Together they respond to the backlash and share an unfiltered look at marriage, masculinity, and what it really means for men to embrace self-control. We explore whether self-control can be seen as a masculine virtue, what men actually think about periods of abstinence required when practicing NFP, and how couples navigate these choices in real life.Along the way, Chrissy and her husband open up about the behind-the-scenes details of their love story and the daily adventure of raising a large family. This episode is funny, candid, and inspiring—a real look at family life and faith without the fluff.Chrissy's IG: https://www.instagram.com/hortonlane_/?hl=enChrissy's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chrissyhorton/videosNEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://rosereport.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

This episode is different. It's not about lifting heavier, chasing goals, or even finding motivation. It's about grief—deep, human, life-altering grief.A few weeks ago, I lost my mom unexpectedly. And in the middle of everything I'm feeling, I knew I wanted to sit down and share this… because we don't talk about grief enough. We avoid it. We dance around it. But it's one of the few things that every single one of us will experience.In this solo episode, I open up about the moment I got the call that changed everything, the complicated and very real relationship I had with my mom, and the invisible weight of grief—what it feels like to move through the world while carrying something no one else can see. I talk about the things I wish I said, the things I'll never get to say, and what has actually helped me feel supported in this early, disorienting stage of loss.This episode is raw, emotional, and honest. I recorded it not because I have answers, but because I needed to give grief a voice—and maybe help someone else feel less alone in theirs.If you're grieving… I'm with you.And if you're not, I hope this helps you show up for someone who is.Take care of your heart.I'm taking care of mine, too.I Also Discuss:(00:02) A tribute to my mom(06:30) Sitting with grief and unexpected loss(19:22) What support looks like in the thick of it(29:37) Grief, remembrance, and how we show we care(32:47) learning to carry the ache—and keep goingFind more from Tara: Website: https://www.taralaferrara.com/Instagram: @taralaferrara @broads.podcast @broads.appYoutube: Tara LaFerraraTiktok: @taralaferrara

I've had plenty of ups and downs (and emotions) throughout the process. But the path to success isn't a straight line. The real path is full of redirections. A pivot isn't an easy switch. It's a bold move to help you avoid burnout or continuing in a business that's not right for you. Don't worry about who you're disappointing or what you've invested in your business already. In this episode, you will learn about: Signs that it's time for you to pivot, and a perspective to help you with it. My story of building a PR agency and why I stayed the course when I shouldn't have. Why you shouldn't wait for permission to pivot (you already have it). The top reason we resist pivoting and why it's a fallacy. Why you should make the move you want to—even if you think people are watching. A simple reframe to help you adapt to the changes you're stepping into. How your clients or customers will let you know it's time to pivot.   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

Yesterday, we featured a conversation with the British pro-market Conservative, Jon Moynihan, who is unambiguously in favor of economic growth. But Daniel Susskind, author of Growth: A History and a Reckoning, is less of an ideological warrior on behalf of unrestrained economic growth. In Growth, which is deservedly included on the Financial Times' short list of best business books for 2024, Susskind seeks to navigate between the exuberantly Hayekian Moynihan and “degrowthers” like previous KEEN ON guests Tim Jackson and Jason Hickel. The truth about growth, for Susskind, as I'm guessing for most of us, is tricky, especially in the context of its longer term environmental costs. Thus the importance of Susskind's nuanced and sensitive treatment of both the benefits and drawbacks of economic growth.Dr Daniel Susskind explores the impact of technology, and particularly AI, on work and society. He is a Research Professor in Economics at King's College London, a Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Ethics in AI at Oxford University, and an Associate Member of the Economics Department at Oxford University. He is the co-author of the best-selling book, The Future of the Professions (2015) and the author of A World Without Work (2020), described by The New York Times as "required reading for any potential presidential candidate thinking about the economy of the future”. His TED Talk, on the future of work, has been viewed more than 1.6 million times. And his new book, Growth: A Reckoning, published in April 2024, is currently shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year 2024. Previously he worked in various roles in the British Government – in the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit, in the Policy Unit in 10 Downing Street, and in the Cabinet Office. He was a Kennedy Scholar at Harvard University. Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Alli Webb proves otherwise, having seamlessly transitioned from a stay-at-home mom to a powerhouse entrepreneur who truly does have it all right now (her words)—and with great hair, too. Keyword: seamlessly. Don't be fooled—it hasn't always been easy. Alli Webb is the founder of the iconic blowout salon chain Drybar, a New York Times bestselling author, a successful businesswoman, and a mother of two. She expanded Drybar beyond the salons with a successful product line available in major retailers like Sephora and Ulta and sold the brand for a staggering $255 million in 2019. In today's episode, we chatted about  Alli's latest book, The Messy Truth, her mindset shift from managing a single location to scaling Drybar to over 160 salons nationwide, and discussed the signs of burnout that ultimately led to what she calls “her great depression.” Plus, Alli pulls back the curtain of what was really happening behind closed doors during the peak of her success and she shares a sneak peek about what's next for her (spoiler: a new haircare business!). 

Drybar co-founder Alli Webb turned her side hustle as a hair stylist into a business concept now thriving nationwide. She talks with host Jeff Berman about scaling Drybar, launching and then selling a hair care product line, and how she thinks about franchising. Alli also reflects on getting personal in her memoir The Messy Truth, and why she's doing things differently in her new endeavor, a massage concept called Squeeze.Read a transcript of this episode: https://mastersofscale.comSubscribe to the Masters of Scale weekly newsletter: https://mastersofscale.com/subscribeCheck out The Messy Truth here: https://www.alliwebb.com/the-messy-truth-shop/p/country-feast-set-3nybt-6xden-cehseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've gone to get a blowout, you most likely stepped foot into a Drybar - founded by this week's guest, Alli Webb. Drybar was a revolutionary concept that transformed the hair care industry by focusing exclusively on blowouts. What started as a single mobile service grew into a national brand with over 150 locations and a line of professional hair products. So why did Alli decide to sell the company? And how did selling the company lead to an identity crisis? On this episode of She Pivots, Alli answers that question plus: how Drybar started as a mobile business so she could “get out of the house for a couple hours”; how her professional life changed as a result of her son's mental health struggles and loss of her mother to cancer; dealing with depression; taking her power back by writing her bestselling book, “The Messy Truth”; and candid insights into the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.   She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success.

She shares how to navigate the wild pendulum of good days and bad days, how to stop seeking external validation, why it's okay to admit you don't have all the answers, how to have the courage to speak your truth, and how to wake up from being on autopilot so you don't miss the important things in life. - Join Cathy's Quilt Membership cathyheller.com/quilt - Get Alli's book, The Messy Truth: How I Sold My Business for Millions but Almost Lost Myself https://www.alliwebb.com/ - Follow Alli on Instagram @alliwebb  Learn more about your ad choices.
