    Romantic Rebellion: The Philosophy Behind Sistine Spritz

    What if you built the entire world of your brand before you ever formulated the product? That's exactly what Lauren Alexander and Kate McClamb of Sistine Spritz did — and it's just one of the unconventional moves that's setting them apart in a saturated beverage market. In this episode, Denise sits down with the co-founders of Sistine, a cleaner, California-forward take on the Italian aperitivo spritz, to talk about building a business that doesn't betray your values — and trusting the timing of the universe while you do it. We get into:  Why they chose branding over formulation first The difference between borrowing customers (VC-style) and building real community How they used astrology, tarot, and numerology to time product launches (including a video that hit 500K views the day it dropped) The sugar truth about Aperol that nobody talks about What the Pygmalion Effect looks like inside a co-founder relationship  Why rock bottoms are the best growth generators you'll ever have If you're building something slow, intentional, and deeply yourself — this one's for you.

    Why women get worse financial advice (and what to do about it) with Amanda Holden

    What if the reason you feel behind financially has nothing to do with your choices — and everything to do with the system? Amanda Holden spent years inside Wall Street investment management before leaving to build Invested Development, where she's taught over 25,000 students to invest with clarity and confidence. In her book How to Be a Rich Old Lady, she dismantles the myths the finance industry has sold us and offers a radically honest blueprint for building wealth — even inside a broken system. In this conversation, Denise and Amanda cover:  Why women are routinely given worse financial advice than men  The real reason "stop buying coffee" is terrible financial advice  How creatives and entrepreneurs should actually think about money  What ethical investing actually means — and why ESG funds are closer to greenwashing than you think  The truth about the stock market vs. the real economy  Financial nihilism, the apocalypse retirement plan, and why investing is still worth it  Wealth as a collective possibility — and what that looks like in practice  Why your financial failures are not yours to own  Whether you're just starting out, rebuilding after setbacks, or questioning why the whole system feels wrong — this episode will meet you where you are.  Amanda Holden is the founder of Invested Development and author of How to Be a Rich Old Lady.  Find her online as @dumpster.doggy You can follow this podcast @toomuchwithdlh and Denise @deniselovehewett

    Healing the Success Wound with Brooke Taylor

    If you've checked every box — the title, the salary, the accolades — and still find yourself lying awake wondering why it doesn't feel like enough, this episode was made for you. Denise sits down with Brooke Taylor, transformational career coach, former Google marketing lead, and author of the newly released Healing the Success Wound, for a clarifying conversation on ambition and identity. Brooke has coached thousands of leaders and what she's found consistently, across all of them, is a root cause that almost no one in professional development is willing to name directly. Brooke calls it the success wound. We get into the two power sources that drive ambition (only one of them is sustainable), the five archetypes of the success wound, and why the very strategies that made you successful may be exactly what's keeping you from the next level. We also talk honestly about what change actually requires — and why it usually involves hitting your knees before you're willing to do things differently. In this episode, you’ll learn: The root difference between the success wound, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome The two power sources of ambition: fear vs. the true self The 5 archetypes of the success wound — and how to spot yours Why 65% of adults never reach the self-authoring stage of development Why readiness is a decision, not a feeling You can find Brooke at @brookevtaylor and brooketaylorcoaching.com You can follow this podcast @toomuchwithdlh and Denise @deniselovehewett Brooke Taylor is a globally recognized transformational career coach, keynote speaker, and the leading authority on a phenomenon she pioneered known as the “Success Wound™.” With a career that began in the high-pressure hallways of Silicon Valley, Brooke spent years as a Marketing Lead at Google, where she was honored with the Google Global Sales Award. Despite her outward accolades, she experienced firsthand the "manic ambition" and burnout that often plague high achievers, leading her to a profound personal transformation and the eventual founding of her coaching practice.

    The Philip B Masterclass: Hair Science, Scalp Health & Why Everything You've Been Told About Hair Care Is Wrong

    This week, Denise sits down with Philip B, one of the most sought-after hair and scalp treatment experts in the world, for a full masterclass on what actually makes hair healthy, why the beauty industry has been getting it wrong for decades, and how a kid sorting rollers in a 1960s Beverly Hills salon built a brand now sold in 50 countries. Philip B breaks down the real science of scalp health, including a live pH demo that will change the way you shower , and explains why most haircare products, even the expensive ones, aren't solving your problems. They cover why tap water is the number one enemy of healthy hair, the truth about popular shower filters (they don't change the pH), how to think about haircare like a bank account, and why the "clean beauty" trend may be doing more harm than good. Philip also shares the story of building his brand from scratch in Beverly Hills, mixing formulas in his kitchen, getting a Vogue feature that crashed his phone line with 500 calls an hour, and landing in Neiman Marcus with a little help from Paula Abdul. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered why their hair changed after coloring, why it tangles the second they get out of the shower, or how to actually treat a problem scalp. In this episode: Why the scalp is the foundation of all hair health (and why most people ignore it) The pH science behind tangling, frizz, and hair breakage — demonstrated live Why shower filters don't fix the real problem How to repair chemically damaged hair using the "bank account" method The botanical ingredients that actually work on dandruff and psoriasis Philip's origin story: Beverly Hills, Vogue, and building a global brand from a kitchen Why your zone of genius feels "too easy" — and why that's the point Philip B, hair and scalp expert to celebrities, sold in 50 countries, and named by Forbes as one of the products worth every penny, joins Denise for a full masterclass on the science of healthy hair. They cover pH and why tap water is wrecking your hair, how to repair chemically damaged hair, the truth about clean beauty, and Philip's incredible origin story from Beverly Hills kitchen to global brand. This is the episode you send to every woman who's ever been frustrated by her hair.

    Learning the Practice of Grief with Kara Hoppe

    What if grief wasn't something to get over — but something to get fluent in? This week, Denise sits down with psychotherapist, death doula, and author Kara Hoppe for an expansive conversation. Kara works at the bookends of life, supporting new parents and walking alongside those in the dying part of life, and she brings a rare, grounded wisdom to a topic most of us have been taught to avoid. Together, they explore grief not as an emotion that happens to you, but as a practice you can cultivate. A skill that, when developed, doesn't just help you survive loss, it expands your entire capacity to be alive. They get into: Why the people who disappear when you're sick aren't bad friends — they just don't have the tools yet How befriending your mortality might be the most life-affirming thing you ever do The surprising link between expanding your grief container and expanding your capacity for joy What the dying actually regret (it's not what you think) Why grief was never meant to be a solo act — and what it looks like to carry it communally The relational filter Denise uses in dating: have you been taken to your knees? What legacy actually means, and why it doesn't belong to us This episode will change how you love, how you show up, and how you think about the time you have. Kara Hoppe is the co-author of Baby Bomb and the creator of the We Are Mortal course. Find her at karahoppe.com or @karahoppe on Instagram.

    What AI Is Really Doing to Human Identity, Creativity & Trust with Bob Hutchins

    Something shifted when AI got good at writing. You started wondering: did my coworker write that apology — or did the machine? Is this birthday message from my friend, or was it generated? Does it matter if you can't tell? Bob Hutchins has a name for what you've been feeling. He calls it proxy failure — and it may be the most important concept for understanding what AI is actually doing to human relationships, creativity, and trust. Bob is an executive AI consultant, doctoral researcher, and one of the rare thinkers who approaches artificial intelligence not with hype or doom, but with genuine psychological depth. In this conversation with Denise, he breaks down why this moment in history is different from every other technological disruption and what we actually have to do about it. In this episode, you'll hear: Proxy failure — why AI has broken the oldest social contract humans have: the assumption that language comes from a living, feeling person The University of Pittsburgh poem study: AI-generated poems outscored Shakespeare until readers were told which was which. What that reveals about where meaning actually lives. Why AI is different from every other technology wave (the printing press, the internet, the smartphone) and the one thing those waves never threatened The rise of the generalist: why being told to "stay in your lane" may have been the worst career advice of the last 20 years AI literacy vs. AI fluency and why knowing how to use it is completely different from knowing how it works on you How to use AI as a thinking partner without outsourcing your thinking Bob draws from media ecology, behavioral psychology, and systems thinking to offer something the AI conversation desperately needs right now: nuance. This is a conversation about what it means to be human when the machines get very, very good at pretending to be one.

    The Power of Reparative Investing with Jessica Norwood

    In this episode, Denise sits down with Jessica Norwood, founder of Runway and one of the most visionary financial activists working today, to explore what it really means to move money in "right relationship" — and why reparative capital may be the blueprint for the economy we actually want to live in. Jessica unpacks why the traditional venture capital model was never built for Black entrepreneurs, women founders, or community-rooted businesses...and what she did about it. From pioneering the "believe-in-you money" framework (the pre-seed capital that friends-and-family wealth was always supposed to represent) to sending $1,000/month to 80 portfolio companies with no payback required at the height of COVID-19, Jessica and Runway are proving that a different system is not only possible, it's already working. In this conversation, you'll hear:  Why the only real indicator of wealth is already having it — and what that means for who gets to build generational wealth in America What reparative capital actually looks like in practice: patient debt, community-led loan committees, and a Funders Manifesto that flips the power dynamic  How Runway kept 100% of its portfolio companies open during the pandemic with a radical UBI experiment  Why most businesses should never have pursued venture capital in the first place  The advice every founder needs before they walk into a capital conversation Jessica Norwood is a Center for Economic Democracy Fellow, a Harvard Hip Hop Archive Political Power Fellow, and has been profiled in Fast Company, the New York Times, and Essence Magazine. Her work has been called "medicine for modern philanthropy and investment." If you've ever felt like the system wasn't built for you — this episode is proof that someone is already building a better one.

    Exploring the Universe Within with Jon Bates (Big Black Delta)

    What if you are not just a person moving through the universe — but a universe moving through itself? This week, Denise sits down with musician and artist Jon Bates, known as Big Black Delta, for one of the most expansive conversations the podcast has ever had. From sacred geometry and Jungian archetypes to ego, alchemy, and the nature of consciousness — this episode will make you see yourself, and your creative life, completely differently. Jon's journey from a self-taught Miami kid who couldn't play sports, to a critically acclaimed experimental artist who channels music from "higher beings," is a masterclass in following your own signal. His latest album is his most precise work yet — and this conversation is just as layered. In this episode, you'll explore: How to quiet the ego long enough to create something real — and why it's less about silencing it and more about giving it a seat on the couch Sacred geometry, Jungian archetypes, and why astrology might be more profound than your meme feed suggests Why earth is a "soul training school" — and what that means for how we treat each other (and ourselves) The alchemy of sitting with hard emotions: naming jealousy, bitterness, and resentment so they lose their power Phone addiction, stillness, and why 5 minutes without your screen in the morning might be the most radical thing you do today Why being "too many things" isn't a flaw — it's the universe experiencing itself through you This is a conversation for the seekers, the creatives, the spiritually curious, and anyone who's ever felt pressured to be just one thing. Jon doesn't preach — he just reminds you that nobody agreed to the rules, and nobody has to follow them. You can find him on Spotify and Instagram @big_black_delta  You can follow this podcast @toomuchwithdlh and Denise @deniselovehewett Loved this episode?
