    Elizabeth Rowe is a leadership and executive coach whose career sits at the unique crossroads of world-class performance, leadership coaching, and advocacy. For two decades, she was the principal flutist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In 2018, she made national headlines with a landmark equal pay lawsuit — an act of courage that earned her recognition as one of The Boston Globe's “Bostonians of the Year,” calling her “The Fighter.”  During her TEDx talk The Lonely Onlys, she shared how imagination and vulnerability can help us build connection and community. In her coaching work, Elizabeth works at the intersection of personal and professional development, helping high achievers thrive in high-pressure environments and navigate major career or life transitions with ease and confidence. Summary In this conversation, Elizabeth Rowe shares her journey from being a principal flutist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra to transitioning into leadership coaching. She reflects on the emotional farewell to her music career, the challenges of maintaining passion, and the importance of quality over quantity in practice. Elizabeth discusses the pressures of live performances, the significance of emotional expression in music, and her experiences with mistakes and internal pressures. She also addresses her lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act, the courage to explore new paths, and the evolution of her definition of excellence. Ultimately, Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of trusting the process and finding fulfillment beyond the spotlight.   Takeaways ·        Resilience is forged through setbacks and failures. ·        Quality and focus in practice matter more than hours logged. ·        Success comes from focusing on inputs, not just outcomes. ·        Perfectionism can protect but also isolate. ·        Vulnerability creates connection and growth. ·        Most obstacles for high achievers are internal, not external. ·        Excellence evolves from proving worth to providing value. ·        True fulfillment comes from connection, purpose, and service.   Notes Websites: I Am Elizabeth Rowe Sign up for newsletter

    Abby and Patrick welcome Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, to discuss her new book, Dress, Dreams, and Desire: Fashion and Psychoanalysis, and the exhibition of the same name that opened this week. What does “fashion” mean, and why are so many psychoanalysts and cultural gatekeepers so resistant to think about the topic critically? How do society's codes of dress reflect logics of identity, especially when it comes to gender, and how are those norms policed – and subverted? How does clothing mediate our first-person experience of our own bodies, how do clothes and nakedness recur in our fantasies and dreams, and how do we use attire to communicate with others while alternately armoring and revealing ourselves? A renowned historian and theorist of fashion, Dr. Steele masterfully walks Abby and Patrick through fashion as a field of overdetermined material commodities and complex articulations of identity and desire. From Freud's anxieties about paying his tailor to Lacan's florid wardrobe to ongoing debates over what therapists should and shouldn't wear; from Elsa Schiaparelli's mirror jackets to Jean Paul Gaultier's bullet bras to Sonia Rykiel's self-caressing knitwear to Timothée Chalamet's Haider Ackermann halter; from commodity fetishism in Marx to fetish objects in Freud; from Lacan's mirror stage to Joan Riviere's theories of masking and masquerade to the “skin ego” of Didier Anzieu; from high culture to low, and from the runway to the consulting room and beyond, it's a stylish and provocative grand tour of fashion, psychoanalysis, and the ways we all use clothes, like it or not, to literally fashion ourselves.The exhibition Dress, Dreams, and Desire: Fashion and Psychoanalysis runs from September 10th 2025 to January 4th 2026 at the Museum at FIT (227 West 27th Street, New York, NY) and is free and open to the public: https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/exhibitions/dress-dreams-desire/index.phpSteele's book Dress, Dreams, and Desire: A History of Fashion and Psychoanalysis will be released on October 30th 2025: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/dress-dreams-and-desire-9781350428195/MFIT will host a Fashion and Psychoanalysis Symposium on Friday, November 14, 2025. Speakers include Laverne Cox, fashion designer Bella Freud, psychoanalysts Patricia Gherovici, Anouchka Grose, Christine Anzieu-Premmereur, Chanda Griffin, fashion scholar Simona Segre, and MFIT Director Valerie Steele. Attendance is free but registration is required: https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/events/symposium/fashion-and-psychoanalysis/index.phpHave you noticed that Freud is back?

    What does it take to build lasting resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity? In this inspiring episode, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Lee Ellis—leadership coach, award-winning author, Air Force veteran, and former POW in North Vietnam for over five years. Drawing on his extraordinary experiences of captivity, Lee shares practical wisdom on resilience, leadership, honor, and the true power of mission-driven living. Lee opens up about overcoming adversity as a prisoner of war, the critical role of commitment, faith, and community, and why self-acceptance and vulnerability are essential for real leadership. Together, Nicole and Lee explore what sets resilient people apart, how to bounce back after failure, and why having a strong sense of purpose can actually extend your life. Plus, Lee shares moving stories from his latest book Captured by Love and the unsung heroism of the POWs' wives. If you're seeking actionable inspiration on navigating hardship and leading with honor—at work or in life—this episode will equip you with the mindsets and tools you need most. What We Discuss in This Episode What helped prepare Lee for the POW experience? What was it like to be shot down and survive as a POW for over five years? How do purpose and mission drive resilience—even beyond extreme adversity? Why are POWs statistically more likely to outlive their civilian peers? What role did faith and community play in surviving captivity? How did the POWs bounce back mentally after giving in to suffering or failure? Why is embracing vulnerability—and owning your strengths and struggles—key for modern leaders? How can we apply these lessons to today's disconnected, anxious world? What are Lee's seven core behaviors for leading and living with honor? How did the wives and families fighting back home change the POWs' fate?

    Reaching my 250th podcast episode feels monumental, and I couldn't think of a more fitting topic to mark this milestone than vulnerability...specifically, how to wield it as the powerful asset it truly is.Vulnerability... being emotionally transparent can create deeper connections and resolve conflicts more effectively, not all vulnerability leads to healing. The missing piece in most conversations about vulnerability is discernment, knowing when, where, and with whom to share your innermost feelings.Think of vulnerability as valuable currency. When invested wisely with people who demonstrate emotional maturity, trustworthiness, and consistency, it yields rich dividends of intimacy and understanding. When handed carelessly to those who haven't earned it or lack the capacity to hold it, it becomes costly, eroding the very relationships it should strengthen.The most transformative approach is becoming your own emotional container first. Before expecting others to hold your feelings with care, learn to sit with your own truths without shame or urgency. This internal safety allows you to share from a place of wholeness rather than seeking validation through exposure.Proximity does not equal permission. Just because someone is close to you doesn't mean they deserve access to your vulnerable self. Vulnerability also is not the sole measure of closeness in a relationship.Listen to see how it transforms your relationships when shared selectively with those worthy of this gift.=======================================================================================Wisdom Wednesdays is your chance to apply what you learn in this podcast.

    In this episode, Sean Harvey, CRO at RocketRez, shares a practical framework for building coaching cultures that actually stick. He explains why trust, not tactics, is the starting point for real performance, and how coaching must move beyond pipeline reviews and into intentional skill development. From his early Oracle training to leading teams through hypergrowth and private equity scale-ups, Sean outlines the lessons that shaped his belief in coaching as both a performance lever and a retention strategy.If you're still coaching “on the fly” or stuck playing super-rep, this conversation will challenge your assumptions. Sean covers the link between psychological safety and rep engagement, how vulnerability-based trust unlocks real development, and why sustainable growth demands coaching at every level from C-suite to the frontlines. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of what coaching is, what it's not, and how to build a team that stays, grows, and performs.Key Takeaways1. Coaching must start at the top to stick long-termIf the C-suite doesn't model and prioritize coaching, it gets deprioritized the moment short-term pressure hits.2. Trust is the foundation of any real coaching cultureReps won't grow unless they believe their manager has their long-term development, not just this quarter's numbers, in mind.3. Vulnerability-based trust drives engagement and learning.Creating psychologically safe spaces where reps can fail and learn openly is what unlocks real skill development.4. Great managers coach people, not just deals.Coaching isn't about saving deals; it's about building reps who can consistently win without constant intervention.5. Consistency matters more than intensity.A lightweight but regular coaching rhythm beats sporadic “inspiration bursts” that vanish under pressure.6. You can't scale if you're only hiring more reps.Scalability means increasing productivity per rep, which only happens when you build coaching into the operating system.7. Coaching drives retention, especially in high-talent environmentsReps stay where they feel invested in, especially when they're being challenged to grow with structure and support.8. Managers are overwhelmed and under-equipped to coachMost FLMs were promoted as top reps but were never taught how to develop others; tools and frameworks help close this gap.9. The best leaders have coaching “trees”Just like in sports, great coaches produce other great coaches; mentoring others to lead is a force multiplier.10. Success is compounding when coaching becomes cultureWhen coaching becomes normalized, teams get better, faster, improving not just results, but predictability.

    In this powerful episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Chandler Rogers—founder of the Relay app and a man on a mission to help men break free from pornography and reclaim deep connection. Chandler shares his raw personal story as a new dad, a husband navigating the fog of sleep deprivation, and a man who turned his own struggle with porn into a platform that has already helped over 5,000 men heal. This conversation isn't just about addiction—it's about isolation, shame, leadership, and stepping into the masculine role your family needs. Chandler reveals the emotional spiral that so many husbands silently endure and how one vulnerable conversation with his wife brought them closer than ever. We talk about why porn is not the real issue, how to lead with emotional clarity, and what it means to truly be seen by your partner. If you've ever struggled with secret shame, felt alone in your role as a dad or husband, or craved deeper intimacy and purpose, this episode will show you you're not broken—just unfinished. Real healing starts with connection. TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge and today's focus: breaking the shame cycle [3:09] - Becoming a father: sleep deprivation, joy, and surprises [8:45] - Marriage after kids: missed connection, emotional gaps, and resentment [12:06] - The physical toll of fatherhood and why self-care matters [13:29] - The emotional cost of disconnection in marriage [15:09] - How resentment is the cancer of relationships [16:50] - Why Chandler named his platform “Relay” and its deeper meaning [18:20] - Why isolation fuels addiction and how connection heals [19:34] - Why porn isn't the problem—it's a comfort mechanism [20:35] - Porn as a symptom of emotional wounds, not the root cause [21:21] - Childhood trauma, hyper-stimulus, and the pain-pleasure cycle [22:56] - How most men justify porn use (and why those stories fall apart) [25:35] - The shame spiral: dissociation, numbness, and fragmentation [28:54] - When needs go unmet: rationalizing porn through “selflessness” [30:11] - Owning masculine needs without blame or desperation [32:03] - Chandler's powerful conversation with his wife that changed everything [33:17] - Why emotional awareness is the first step to intimacy [34:18] - The feminine response: how wives crave emotional leadership [35:30] - The difference between openness and emotional outbursts [36:38] - The moment Chandler reconnected with his wife through vulnerability [39:47] - How unspoken needs lead to resentment—and eventually porn [41:25] - The silver lining: how healing starts with connection [43:20] - How Relay works: anonymous, app-based community for men [46:45] - Why your wife shouldn't be your accountability partner [48:02] - Why connection must be as easy as access to porn [49:47] - How Relay connects you with the right people  [51:36] - Seeing your group's progress and showing up with purpose [53:11] -  Designing your future vs. resisting your past [54:11] - Replacing one habit with a better one: app design insights [56:33] - How a community will help you grow into a better person [58:01] - The real problem isn't desire, it's implementation [01:00:00] - Why information alone won't change your life [1:01:06] -  Where to find Chandler and the Relay app 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Porn Isn't the Problem—It's the Pain Most men turn to porn not out of lust, but to numb discomfort, avoid connection, or cope with emotional pain they haven't addressed.   2. Resentment Is the Silent Killer of Marriage Unspoken needs become stories. Stories become disconnection. And disconnection becomes resentment. That's the cancer that silently kills intimacy.   3. You're Not Broken—You're Just Unfinished Most men don't lack desire or information—they lack implementation. Healing is not about perfection. It's about progress with others.   4. Emotional Leadership Is Masculine When men speak their needs clearly—without blame, shame, or desperation—it inspires women to soften, lean in, and reconnect.   5. Connection Is the Antidote to Shame Isolation fuels addiction. Community kills shame. Vulnerability with safe men in a trusted circle is what creates lasting transformation.   LINKS & RESOURCES   Join Relay (Chandler's App): https://www.joinrelay.app Email Chandler: chandler@joinrelay.app Dad Edge Podcast: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast Join the Alliance (Dad Edge Community): https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance

    In this episode, host Dana Skaggs sits down with Kristal Desantis to talk about why traditional masculinity is struggling in modern relationships. Kristal describes what she calls the “broken script,” where old-school roles of men as sole protectors and providers clash with today's need for emotional partnership. This leaves a lot of men caught in a “masculinity trap”—criticized for being too stoic but judged when they open up. The two dive into topics like emotional safety, touch starvation, and the pressure to measure up to narrow definitions of worth.

    In this week's episode of Typology, I sit down with Dr. Terence Lester—an Enneagram Eight, author of From Dropout to Doctorate, and the visionary founder of Love Beyond Walls. Terence's story is as powerful as it is inspiring. From his early years in Atlanta to leading a movement that uplifts those experiencing poverty and homelessness, his journey embodies both courage and compassion. Together, we explore what it means to be an Enneagram Eight in the trenches of community work—wrestling with control, burnout, and the temptation to over-function. Terence opens up about a devastating car accident that reshaped his sense of identity, his relationship with productivity, and ultimately, his capacity for gratitude. We also dive into the intersection of action and contemplation, the influence of Henri Nouwen on Terence's life, and the healing power of reconciliation in his own family story. Along the way, Terence reminds us that leadership isn't about posturing but about vulnerability, presence, and the willingness to walk alongside others in their pain. This conversation is an invitation to rethink how we serve, how we love, and how we grow. You'll walk away with profound insights about resilience, healing, and the transformative power of the Enneagram.       ABOUT OUR GUEST Dr. Terence Lester is a storyteller, public scholar, speaker, community activist and author of From Dropout to Doctorate.

    "Hi Stef! My name is [x] and I've been listening to your show for a couple years now, my husband introduced it to me shortly after we got married. I've really enjoyed learning about philosophy and self-knowledge and have been applying it to my marriage and other relationship queries. I was hoping to talk to you about some struggles I've had maintaining relationships (friendships) throughout my life. I've never had a local friendship last more than a few years. I'm about to continue my self-knowledge work by going to a Christian group therapy (Freedom session) and I was told I would need a sponsor (a friend or relation) to closely connect with for these group sessions. It occurred to me that I don't have any close friends and no one I could ask (besides my husband). To me that is alarming. I feel as though I should have at least one long term close friendship. My husband and I talk about this often - how I often have difficulties maintaining friendships. I've been burned by people many times throughout my life and I now tend to put up barriers when meeting new people, until I have observed them long enough to deem them as safe people. Even when I do form friendships they seem to die out in a sense within a few years. I'm wondering if there is a pattern that needs to be addressed or something I'm not seeing. I'm an emotionally intelligent, kind, gentle and thoughtful person. I'm often the listener/counselor in friendships and relationships. I often have to be the pursuer of connection with other people and it can be very exhausting especially when there is no reciprocation. At times I feel I have this in my familial relationships as well. I come from a family of married parents with 6 kids including myself and I often felt that I was thirsty for affection/attention as a child and still feel that way to this day. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Thankfully my husband and I have a very good relationship, I feel like he is my only truest friend who knows every intimate detail of my life, he knows my innermost being and I love that about our relationship. My hope is that I could have that with a friend as well one day. I hope that it would work to speak to you as I respect your insight.
