The Sticky Truth is where real conversations meet uncomfortable honesty. Hosted by Dave Tidler, this show isn't afraid to push past the surface. Each episode dives into the topics most people tiptoe around — wellness, politics, business, relationships, identity, trauma, culture, grief, and the human stories that shape us. If it's messy, complicated, or hard to talk about, we go there. With respected authors, experts, creators, and everyday people with extraordinary experiences, The Sticky Truth invites listeners into raw, unfiltered dialogue that challenges assumptions and opens perspectives. Whether you're here for answers, clarity, or just to know you're not alone, this podcast exposes what's real — even when the truth gets a little sticky. Expect honesty. Expect depth. Expect the conversations you didn't know you needed.

  1. Mental Health | Be Heard & Be Seen

    MAR 11

    Mental Health | Be Heard & Be Seen

    In Episode 3 of The Sticky Truth, Dave Tidler sits down with Maria Winters for an honest conversation about mental health, emotional resilience, and what it really means to feel seen and heard. Maria shares her journey from Venezuela to the United States, the life experiences that shaped her path into therapy and coaching, and why so many people struggle to speak openly about pain, identity, and the stories they carry beneath the surface. Together, this episode explores how unspoken emotions can keep us stuck, why healing is often misunderstood, and how awareness—not perfection—is often the first step forward. This conversation is not about fixing yourself. It's about recognizing what you've been carrying, understanding what may be holding you back, and finding the courage to begin moving through it. A thoughtful episode for anyone navigating stress, transition, emotional fatigue, or simply trying to understand themselves a little better.

    Aging | Resentment & the Forgotten Roadmap

    In Episode 2 of The Sticky Truth, Samantha McDaniel joins the conversation to explore aging, resentment, and the quiet grief of realizing life didn't come with a roadmap. Together, we unpack the unspoken expectations we carry into midlife, how resentment builds when those expectations go unmet, and what it means to grieve the versions of ourselves we thought we'd become. This episode is an honest, compassionate look at growing older, letting go, and finding a new way forward when the path isn't clear.

    It Is What It Is

    In this deeply personal premiere episode of The Sticky Truth, host Dave Tidler sits down with longtime friend and author Maura McGee to unpack the meaning behind the phrase "It is what it is." What begins as a common expression of resignation becomes a profound exploration of grief, love, faith, family, and resilience. Through the story of Maura's late husband Dave McGee and their journey through illness, loss, and transformation, listeners are invited to confront life's hardest truths — and discover that acceptance is not surrender, but strength.
