This week's guest, Nick North, is a branding consultant, dad to the 5 kids in his blended family, trans man, and (full disclosure) one of my favorite people on the internet right now. Especially after this conversation!

We talked all about gender and biases, the work of nurturing a marriage, and how he decided to stop "living stealth" and instead speak from his experience on both sides of the gender coin.

"I know what it feels like to not have space at the table, and it's real, and men can't see it because it's always been that way. [...] I had to have my experiences erased in order to realize that I needed to hold onto them, and I think a lot of trans folk feel that eventually."

Between the interviews and the teaching episodes, you might have noticed a recurring theme in season 1 of this podcast: doing all the things. Sometimes, despite our best efforts and stellar time management skills, we find ourselves reaching for our phones mid-workout to do one. last. thing. and... end up falling off our Peloton bikes. (Anyone else? No? Just me and my giant bruise?)

I'm willing to bet you already know that "doing ALL the things" isn't sustainable in the long term. Your time is a non-renewable resource! So this week, let's dig into:

• What that means and how it's not just "multitasking"
• How it shows up — or creeps in
• How to prevent that from happening! (Hint: BOUNDARIES.)

Though he's only in his early 20s, Brandon Love already has some serious accomplishments under his belt: he's the founder and owner of Crumble Co and its thriving 50k+ member community, the Crumble Family. (He's also the first of only two dudes to appear on this season of Serving it HOT!)

On this episode, Brandon and I go deep on discrimination, ageism, mental health, and how none of those things have held him back from taking strong stances with his brand. "I love having thin skin — I think of it as a superpower. It helps me connect more with my customers and how I can make their lives better."

Brene Brown (one of my all-time favorite authors) defines authenticity as "the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be, and embracing who we are." This week, I want to dive into the powerful benefits of true authenticity, and we'll start with this question: Do you know what it feels like to be 100% authentically you?

PS: We have officially crossed the halfway point for season 1! To commemorate that, I'll share a little more about how this podcast progressed from an idea to a full-fledged show. I'm so thrilled to have you on this journey with me.
