    Your Ecosystem Is Going to Shake | Episode 13

    Hey Silly Rebel Podcast | Episode 13: Your Ecosystem Is Going to Shake — with Teri Hofford You outsource your intuition without noticing — to someone else's business framework, someone else's certainty, whatever system feels safer than your own gut. Teri Hofford calls this out by name. In this episode, Teri, a body image coach and retreat host who built her whole business on following intuition instead of strategy, returns for her quarterly check-in — episode 13, her lucky number. We get into what it actually costs to stop outsourcing your intuition, the hundred-year-old piano she almost let get away and the one that found her instead, and why your ecosystem shakes when you finally start trusting yourself. We also go into the difference between belonging and acceptance, why grief and rightness can be true at the same time, and a one-second body practice for cutting through any feeling before you react to it.

    The Truth Is, You Don't Have To. You're Choosing To. | Episode 12

    Hey Silly Rebel Podcast | Episode 12: You Don't Have To, You're Choosing To — with Sarah Wildeman You say "I have to" a dozen times a day. Sarah Wildeman would like a word about that. In this episode, Sarah, a leadership and relationship dynamics coach and founder of OurCommon, unpacks why so many of us move through life feeling trapped by obligations that are actually choices, and what shifts when we finally own that. We get into the radical permission of naming your dramatic out, why resentment is the clearest signal that your giving has fallen out of alignment, and how asking for what you need is a skill almost none of us were taught. We also go into re-villaging your life, the decade Sarah spent in intentional community, and why hyper-independence quietly costs us more than we think.

    This Guy Deleted Instagram and Had His Biggest Month Ever | Episode 11

    Hey Silly Rebel Podcast | Episode 11: This Guy Deleted Instagram and Had His Biggest Month Ever — with Jay Topp Jay's Instagram got deleted in March. April was his biggest business month ever. Coincidence? He'd say no. In this episode, Jay, an Australian entrepreneur who has built multiple seven-figure businesses and visited 66 countries, breaks down exactly how he runs a thriving online business with zero organic social media, using a book funnel that pays for itself on day one. We also go deep on nihilism, Nietzsche, courage as a muscle, and what actually separates the people who build differently from everyone else. Guest: Jay Topp This is a public episode.

    What If Sick and Happy Aren't Opposites? | Episode 10

    Hey Silly Rebel Podcast | Episode 10: What If Sick and Happy Aren't Opposites? — with Markus Raivio I'm talking with Markus Raivio, a Finnish social entrepreneur, record producer turned music therapist, and the first-ever Ashoka Fellow elected from Finland. He's the founder of Kukunori, an organization that has built 25 culture houses across Finland and beyond, diagnosis-free spaces where people living with mental health challenges don't go to be fixed. They go to lead. We get into the paradox of Finland being the happiest country in the world nine times running while also carrying some of the highest rates of depression and loneliness in the West, and what Markus calls the "third dimension" of being alive: the space beyond sick and healthy where the real question is whether you can still do something meaningful despite how you're feeling. We also talk about the Zero Zone (his daughter's name for the blank, drifting mental state that turns out to be where his best ideas actually live), how a phone call he had to take mid-guitar-group accidentally gave him the model he's been building ever since, why the first 15 minutes of any connection determines the next 15 years, and what 150 young adults said they actually needed, which had nothing to do with more clinical services. Markus is warm, funny, genuinely un-self-helpy, and one of the most interesting people I've had on this show.

    Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You Something | Episode 9

    Hey Silly Rebel Podcast | Episode 9: Your Body Has Been Trying To Tell You Something In this episode, I sit down with Kelsey, yoga teacher, menstrual cycle coach, and founder of Elderberry Mother Care, for a conversation that will genuinely reorganize how you think about your body. They dig into the four phases of the menstrual cycle mapped as seasons, why the luteal phase isn't a monster but actually your truest self trying to protect you, how women's 28-day hormone cycle was never designed for the linear, perform-the-same-every-day world we're living in, and what nobody told us about menopause and the real power that comes with it. If you've ever burned out chasing consistency, dismissed how you felt during PMS, or just realized you were never actually given the full picture about your own body, this one's for you.

    Good Lazy | Episode 8

    Hey Silly Rebel Podcast | Episode 8: Good Lazy In this episode, I'm chatting with Crystal, the founder of Good Lazy, a sock company out of Victoria, BC, built on one very good mantra: do less better. She walked away from an enviable career at John Fluevog Shoes not because anything went wrong, but because the pace was eating her alive. Five years later, her business is almost entirely offline, growing through real relationships and word of mouth, and she's proof that slower can actually be better. This one got me. I think it'll get you too.

    You Were Never Meant to Build This Alone | Episode 7

    About this episode Kayla Brazier is a community builder, event curator, and somatic practitioner based in Kamloops, BC. She's the founder of Fullest Table — a seasonal supper series for women — and runs a nervous system coaching practice at kaylabrazier.com. In this conversation, we get into why women perform in social situations, what actually shifts when you feel safe enough to stop, and what it looks like to build a business that feeds you back instead of just draining you. 3 Things You'll Take Away From This Episode You're not performing because you're fake — you're performing because your nervous system is trying to keep you safe. Understanding that changes everything. Your business's potential is equal to your capacity. If you're burnt out, the question isn't "how do I push through" — it's "why did I start this in the first place?" Joy is amplified by a thousand times when it's shared. Success in isolation will always feel a little hollow. That's not a flaw. That's just human. Chapters 00:00 — Intro & welcome 03:34 — What success actually means now vs. earlier in Kayla's career 05:26 — The belief she had to unlearn: success doesn't have to equal struggle 08:00 — Guilt, shame, and whose belief system you're actually carrying 10:19 — Why Substack became her greatest marketing tool 13:00 — Gathering vs. networking vs. scaling — and why the word matters 16:38 — What happens to a woman physically and emotionally when she doesn't have to perform 23:00 — How to actually get safe enough to stop performing 26:00 — On radical honesty and self-abandonment in personal relationships 31:58 — Nourishment as business infrastructure, not indulgence 38:50 — Building your business around your energy instead of the other way around 42:13 — How to protect your slowness when growth culture tempts you to do more 48:48 — Running multiple expressions of your work without burning out 49:34 — The start, stop, pause list 51:17 — On prayer, intuition, and cutting through the noise 52:04 — Visibility that feels rooted instead of performative 54:50 — For the tired but deeply called woman: building in community, not isolation 58:04 — Keep, Quit, Never Again This is a public episode.
