    The 10 Levels of Audacity: From Mild Nerve to Criminal. | really...

    In this episode, Michael-Thomas and Sierra break down the concept of audacity—what it is, why it feels like it’s everywhere, and how it shows up in everyday life. From “mild nerve” to full-blown “criminal audacity,” they introduce the Audacity Spectrum and share hilarious, relatable examples of people acting boldly, loudly, and sometimes completely incorrectly. They also explore the role of social media, keyboard warriors, and the rise of confidence without expertise, while reflecting on boundaries, accountability, and the importance of self-awareness. And yes… they also admit that sometimes, we might be part of the problem. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “why are people like this?”—this episode is for you.

    Phobias are really weird... | really...

    Fear is weird. Phobias are weirder. And test anxiety? Way more common than you think. In this episode, Sierra and Michael-Thomas explore personal fears, phobias, and the science behind why our brains react the way they do. Through stories, humor, and a phobia trivia game, they unpack the difference between everyday fears and true phobias. The conversation then turns to test anxiety—what causes it, how it shows up physically and emotionally, and strategies to manage it effectively. From breathing techniques to mindset shifts and learning strategies, this episode offers both insight and practical tools for anyone navigating anxiety in academic settings.

    That's Just The Way We've Always Done It! | really...

    Why do people resist change so strongly? In this episode of really… with Sierra & Michael-Thomas, we unpack the phrase everyone has heard at some point: “That’s just the way we’ve always done it.” From food habits and nostalgia to education and leadership, we explore why challenging the status quo can feel uncomfortable — and why it’s often necessary for growth. Along the way, we talk about how COVID forced adaptation in schools and workplaces, the role educators play in leading change, and why building trust with students matters more than ever. The conversation also dives into therapy, fear of failure, intentional living, and how staying connected to others helps us navigate life’s transitions. Change isn’t always easy — but leaning into it can lead to deeper self-awareness, stronger relationships, and a more intentional life.
