In this episode, we explore the idea of a Misogi—a single, year-defining challenge with a real chance of failure that breaks routine and reshapes identity. Cameo shares her own Misogis, from endurance hiking to recording an album, releasing a book, and shares a possible 2026 Misogi!

You’ll hear:

• what a Misogi is and where the idea comes from

• why the 50% chance of failure matters

• how big goals interrupt autopilot and build identity

• examples from hiking 29029 to recording at London Bridge Studio

• creative and lifestyle Misogi ideas listeners can try

• choosing challenges that require preparation and scare you

• identity change vs. résumé lines

• community invitations and sharing your Misogi

Holiday gatherings can stir up our oldest habits: scripting conversations, bracing for drama, and quietly trying to direct every moment so it feels safe and efficient. I share the mindset shift that changed my year—letting people be exactly who they are—and why that simple choice made my interactions more enjoyable. 

Instead of rehearsing comebacks or managing the room, we focus on boundaries, acceptance, and conserving emotional energy. Acceptance isn’t approval; it’s a strategy for staying grounded and present. You’ll hear how this approach softens conversations, lowers reactivity, and reduces the pressure to fix people who never asked for coaching in the first place.

If you’re ready to swap control for clarity and leave gatherings feeling lighter, this conversation will give you language, structure, and courage to try.

What if anxiety didn’t have to be a private battle? In this episode, we sit down with Emmy Award–winning director-producer Wendy Lobel, whose 30-year career includes work with PBS, A&E, VH1, MSNBC, and Nickelodeon. Her feature debut, Anxiety Club—blends humor, evidence-based therapy, and the power of storytelling to make mental health feel more human.

In Anxiety Club, comedians like Tiffany Jenkins, Joe List, and Eva Victor pull back the curtain on panic, OCD, and social dread—revealing how avoidance keeps fear in charge and how small, repeatable steps can build real ease. Through sharp humor and on-camera exposure therapy, the film transforms “run from it” into “move toward it,” reminding us that the antidote to anxiety isn’t control… it’s courage.

Wendy shares why comedians became the perfect storytellers, how the mantra “Maybe it will, maybe it won’t” helps people tolerate uncertainty, and what the CBT triangle (thoughts, feelings, behaviors) teaches us about changing the patterns that keep us stuck. We also explore everyday tools; like meditation, box breathing, exercise, and medication—that create balance in real life.

If you’ve ever wondered “Is this level of anxiety normal?” or “How do I support someone I love when I can’t see what they’re feeling?”—this conversation offers clarity, empathy, and next steps you can start today.

We also highlight the film’s festival journey, community screenings, and where to stream Anxiety Club at home.

Usually, we’re here to dig deep—to spark reflection, build better habits, and help you get your life together (or at least try). But this episode? Pure, unapologetic nonsense.

We’re ditching the filters, the shame, and the polished self-help vibe to talk about the stuff you might usually leave behind closed doors—the things most people experience but don’t talk about because they’re embarrassing, taboo… or dare we say, immature. 

From cringe-worthy moments to gross and awkward experiences, we expose our weird, tackle the things we all wonder about, and give raw, on-the-fly answers.

Think of this as hanging out with your best friends: embracing the WTF?, laughing at the chaos, and sharing honest (and sometimes graphic) confessions. 

It’s 100% for entertainment—a break from all the heaviness, no lessons, no self-improvement… just real talk, laughs, and a reminder that life isn’t meant to be taken so seriously all the time.

Ever feel like you’re a different woman (or living with one) depending on what phase of the menstrual cycle you’re in?

Some weeks spinning your wheels—some weeks crushing it, other weeks barely holding on? What if that “inconsistency” isn’t a flaw, but your body trying to tell you something?

We also challenge hustle culture, reframe rest as a performance multiplier, and explore how seasons and cycles—even the moon—can guide sustainable momentum. If you’ve ever wished you could ride your highs, survive your lows, and actually plan your life around your rhythm, this episode is for you!

Have you ever felt like an outsider because you don't have a massive social circle or aren't constantly surrounded by people? You're not alone. This raw, unfiltered conversation tackles the uncomfortable truth about community in our social media-driven world.

We're challenging the notion that bigger is always better when it comes to our connections. Community doesn't need to look like packed events or extensive networks to be meaningful. Sometimes, it's found in the quiet moments of deep connection with just one person. As Greg vulnerably shares, "I've always felt like something's wrong with me, that I don't have a big community," many of us have silently wrestled with the same doubts.

Through personal stories and thoughtful reflection, we explore how life stages naturally affect our communities, and why that's perfectly okay. Greg's experience building intimate musical collaborations reveals how powerful one-on-one connections can be, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond what's visible on the surface. These small connections often hold more meaning than the larger, more visible communities we're taught to pursue.

Social media has redefined community in both beautiful and harmful ways. While it connects us with like-minded individuals we might never have encountered otherwise, it also creates unrealistic expectations when we compare our own communities to what we see online. We discuss how to navigate this tension and find authentic connection on your own terms.

As Cameo shares her journey of releasing her book and feeling pressured to build community "the right way," she reveals the freedom found in authenticity: "I don't have to play that part anymore. I want to just be me." This sentiment echoes throughout our conversation—community isn't about following a formula but creating connections that matter to you.

Listen now to discover why "it doesn't have to be loud to be powerful" and how to build meaningful community your way. Share your thoughts with us about what community means to you and how you've found connection in unexpected places.

We touch on:
• Choosing alignment over “playing it safe”
• The “Three R’s”: Reflect, Reset, Reinvent
• Sobriety as the clarity catalyst
• Why honest communication changes everything
• Spotting ego vs. true alignment
• When the craziest choice is the right one

In this episode, bestselling author and powerhouse pro speaker, Judi Holler, shares her journey back to authenticity after nearly abandoning her true calling for a “more marketable” path.

She opens up about the sleepless nights and creative paralysis that came from losing touch with her work.  And how she reclaimed her power in creating an “unbook” to help others find their way back to themselves.

Judi walks us through her four-stage framework for self-discovery: pain, peace, presence, and paradigm, seeing discomfort as a doorway to growth. She also explores self-leadership, handling rejection, and creating safe spaces for authentic self-expression.

And as a bonus—you’ll even hear a short jam session at the end of the episode!
