    The Messy Middle: When Your Old Identity No Longer Fits

    Kirsty Tait thought she was building a business plan when she accidentally took too much acid and experienced what she calls “the biggest awakening” of her life. Not exactly the strategic planning method most founders recommend, but sometimes clarity shows up in unexpected ways. What followed wasn’t a glamorous transformation story, but five years of navigating the messy middle between who she used to be and who she was becoming. In this honest conversation, Kirsty reveals why that messy middle is actually where the gold lives, even if it’s the part no one puts on social media. From working alongside tech founders in executive search to embracing what she calls “the most spiritual thing you can do,” which is entrepreneurship, she shares how our attachment to outcomes, the illusion of being “fully healed,” and our love of neat little labels can keep us from hearing our own truth. This episode isn’t about manifesting millions or perfectly optimizing your life, but honoring the chaos, loosening your grip on control, and discovering that you were whole all along.

    The Unseen Patterns Driving Successful Outcomes for Founders

    Most founders think their next breakthrough comes from better strategy or more capital. Chelsea Myers has spent years in the rooms where $5M–100M decisions get made, and she’s discovered something far less flashy but far more powerful: the founder’s internal state quietly determines everything: valuation, culture, scalability, long before investors can articulate why something feels “off” or undeniably solid. Chelsea works in a rare lane. She’s the person founders call when the numbers look strong, but the energy feels strained. When expansion is possible, but clarity isn’t. Her work unpacks how nervous system stability, identity evolution, and what she calls “energetic awareness” function as the invisible operating system behind sustainable growth. In this conversation, we explore the unseen patterns shaping outcomes, why cultural integrity closes deals that EBITDA only opens, and how a simple tea ritual supported Chelsea in discontinuing 25 years of medication while building her mindfulness company, mediTEAtion. It’s thoughtful, a little surprising, deeply practical, and a reminder that scaling a company without scaling the founder is like upgrading the software but ignoring the hardware. Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction. [00:02:16] Operating behind the scenes. [00:09:45] Identity upgrade for success. [00:17:45] The human component of organizations. [00:19:01] Identity and company separation. [00:20:10] Prioritizing values in entrepreneurship. [00:31:00] Integrating creativity into daily life. [00:36:43] Alignment as an investment. Memorable Quotes: "If my internal environment is in chaos, that's undoubtedly going to transfer to how I'm communicating or the decisions that I'm making." [00:04:25] – Chelsea Myers "Old self-concepts can't hold new levels of responsibility."

We’re lifting the veil on the success markers we’ve ditched and the ones that actually make life sweeter now.

    Jené Luciani Sena has spent 25 years as "The Bra Expert," but her journey reveals something far more complex than sizing charts and underwire. From covering 9/11 as a news reporter to accidentally discovering her life's calling through a magazine assignment, she's learned that it's never really about the bra. It's about the deeper stories women carry but rarely voice. In this raw conversation, Jené opens up about the pressure to fit into one professional box, the reality of perimenopause symptoms that doctors dismiss, and her recent epiphany that success doesn't require working yourself to the bone. She shares how women literally lift their shirts in public to show her their struggles, and why she believes the key to thriving is embracing all the versions of yourself, even when you reinvent yourself 20 times in a single day.

    From Cult-Controlled to CEO: The Power of Choosing Again

    Jasmine Chambers had built what looked like a faithful life: leadership roles, four children, community respect. But beneath the surface, she was dreaming of disappearing. Raised in a highly-controlled religious environment that would later be classified as a cult, Jasmine had learned to silence her inner voice and follow external authority. Until the night she and her husband loaded their four children into a truck and drove toward the unknown. It’s a story rooted in the messy, years-long work of undoing a lifetime of conditioning while simultaneously building something entirely new. From getting her high school diploma at 31 to launching a luxury home-building company, Jasmine reveals the real cost of living someone else's version of your life, and the power that comes from choosing your own dreams, again and again.

    A High Achiever’s Wake Up Call to Heal from Past Trauma

    What happens when the very traits that make you a successful entrepreneur- pushing through, managing crisis, never stopping- become the barriers to your own healing? Janelle Bruland built a multi-state company with over 500 employees while navigating abandonment, single motherhood, and undiagnosed PTSD. For years, she thought she had moved past her trauma, until a routine flight triggered a complete breakdown that changed everything. In this raw conversation, Janelle reveals how high achievers often mistake survival mode for strength, and why the "typical MO" of entrepreneurs can actually prevent us from recognizing and healing our deepest wounds. She shares her journey from pushing through to letting go and why being truly present (rather than being productive) became her path to freedom. Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] Introduction. [00:04:31] The story behind “Your Way Back to Happy”. [00:13:28] Trauma as a motivator. [00:15:44] Letting go versus pushing through. [00:17:53] Cultivating resilience and life-sustaining practices.

Memorable Quotes: "That's how we set goals, and we accomplish it. We figure it out. We push through. And in order to heal, you needed to do just the opposite." [00:16:35] – Janelle Bruland "If we're not aligned with God and our purpose, then there's no business strategy in the world that's going to fix that."

    Stop Shrinking Your Dream: Why Female Founders Think Too Small

    What happens when the woman who holds everything together finally admits she's running on empty? In this raw conversation, Disha reveals the hidden cost of being the "responsible one" and why so many ambitious women think there's something wrong with them for wanting more. Rather than focusing on productivity hacks or time management tips, this conversation goes deeper into a question many high-achieving women wrestle with: How do you build something extraordinary without losing yourself in the process? Disha shares her journey from immigrant daughter to strategic genius, and why she believes the biggest tragedy isn't women dreaming too big, but it's not thinking big enough. If you've ever felt like you're carrying an invisible load that no one else can see, this episode will help you understand that your capacity isn't average, your ambition isn't a character flaw, and exhaustion isn't a personal failure.

Memorable Quotes: "My shrinking actually wasn't humility, it was self-protection." [00:11:14] – Disha Solanki "What I find with female founders is they don't think big enough. Because they get to that point of, do I continue with my dream or do I kill it? And then they kill it, or they self-sabotage. Don't do that. Think bigger and keep going."
