Part 1: Our favorite rock drummer, and unofficial therapist, Ryan Meyer is back for a real, unfiltered conversation about masculinity, identity, and why so many people feel disconnected right now.

We get into what’s happening with young men. Like the lack of grounded role models, the influence of the Manosphere, and the pressure to figure out who they’re supposed to be in a world that keeps shifting. And … how that’s showing up in relationships.

We talk about:

- What healthy masculinity actually looks like
- Why young men feel lost or confused right now
- The rise of the Manosphere documentary (and why it’s gaining traction)
- Relationship roles — and how they’ve changed
- The disconnect between men and women today
- Confidence vs ego vs emotional intelligence
- Pregnancy, productivity, and the pressure to keep up

This isn’t about blaming men or women. It’s about understanding what’s missing and how we can actually show up better for ourselves and each other.

If you’ve felt like something is off in dating, relationships, or just the way people are navigating life right now… this conversation will land.

I sat down with Michelle Waterson-Gomez — UFC fighter, mom, and someone who knows how to take a hit — to talk about what it actually means to be strong.

Not the highlight reel version....We get into the real version.

We talk about reinvention, identity shifts, motherhood, and how to keep going when life doesn’t slow down.

Because the fight isn’t always in the cage. And that’s usually the harder part.

For most of my life I was pretty clear about one thing… I didn’t want kids.

I wasn’t the girl dreaming about motherhood. I didn’t grow up around babies, and honestly I felt awkward around them. I just assumed my life would go in a completely different direction.

And now… I’m pregnant.

So in this solo episode I’m talking openly about what this experience has actually been like so far. The good, the weird, the emotional, and the things no one really prepares you for.

We get into:

• why I spent most of my life thinking I didn’t want kids
 • the mindset shift that surprised me the most
 • the gross and strange pregnancy symptoms nobody warns you about
 • why pregnancy can feel weirdly lonely even when you’re surrounded by support
 • why I decided to share my pregnancy earlier than most people do
 • my birth plan and how I’m preparing mentally and physically
 • the biggest realization pregnancy has shown me about life

I’ve been calling pregnancy my “expander” because it feels like I’m meeting a new version of myself I didn’t even know existed.

If you’re pregnant, thinking about becoming a parent, or just curious about what pregnancy actually feels like beyond the horror stories…this episode is for you.

The bitch is back. And I’m ready to chat.

Welcome to Pretty Messy Human 

After years of keeping parts of my life offline, this episode is the real catch-up. This is for anyone that has ever outgrown their life and is ready for some real change from someone who is still messing up along the way.  We get honest AF about the breakup, the silence, the identity spiral, the reinvention, and how my entire life flipped in a way I never saw coming.

We’re talking about:

– Why doubt is actually a green light
 – Starting messy instead of waiting to feel confident
 – The truth about open relationships 
 – Why “time heals” is crappy advice
 – Reinventing yourself in your 30s
 – Choosing a partner who expands your life instead of shrinking it

Welcome to Pretty Messy Human.

Spicy. Honest. Unfiltered.
 New episodes weekly.
