The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast

118: Walking the Talk: Avoiding Hypocrisy in Life and Business

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie, we’re getting real about something that hits close to home—walking the talk. Let’s be honest, it’s easy to tell others what they should be doing, but are we holding ourselves to the same standard? We dig into those moments where we might be unintentionally hypocritical in our personal lives and businesses, and we challenge ourselves (and you) to take a good, hard look at how our actions align with our words.

We also reflect on how we’ve fallen out of certain habits—like listening to podcasts ourselves—and how it’s essential to practice what we preach. Whether it’s about leadership, personal growth, or simply living with integrity, we share stories, laughs, and actionable steps to help us all show up better every day.

Plus, we throw in a little digression about our love of books (because, why not?) and the goals we’re setting to push ourselves further this year. You’ll hear our thoughts on staying accountable, staying inspired, and why action always speaks louder than words.

Key takeaways from this episode:

We’re always open to feedback, ideas, and some good old-fashioned banter.

Episode 117: Decision Fatigue: Recognizing It, Managing It, and Moving On

Welcome back, Badasses! In this episode, we’re diving deep into something we’ve all felt at one point or another: decision fatigue. You know, that overwhelming feeling when even the smallest choices feel like they’re draining every ounce of your energy. Yep, we’ve been there too.

We talk about why decision fatigue happens, how it sneaks into every corner of our lives, and—most importantly—what we can do about it. From batching errands (because let’s be honest, who wants to put on pants more than once a day?) to simplifying the way we approach daily tasks, we’re sharing the real-life strategies that help us keep our sanity.

We also chat about how setting boundaries, delegating tasks, and scheduling rest can make a world of difference. Spoiler: disconnecting isn’t just nice—it’s necessary. Oh, and if you’re struggling with indecision, we’ve got a tried-and-true trick involving your gut instincts. Trust us, it’s a game-changer.

Let’s be real: decision fatigue is part of life. But with a little awareness and a lot of action, we can take back control and make decisions that align with our goals (and our sanity).

So, what about you? Are you feeling the effects of decision fatigue? What’s working for you to overcome it? Let us know in the comments—we’d love to hear your stories and tips!

In this episode, we’re diving into the concept of glass ceilings—those invisible barriers that hold us back in business, life, and personal growth. But here’s the twist: we’re not just talking about the ones imposed on us externally. We’re exploring the ones we place on ourselves and how they impact our progress.

We share real-life examples, including a story about navigating cultural nuances in business deals and how being strategic (and letting go of ego) can lead to success. Sometimes, it’s not about pushing against external barriers but recognizing the limits we’ve placed within ourselves.

Together, we unpack:

We also pose some questions to you:What glass ceilings are you hiding under? Which ones have you broken through? How have they impacted your journey?

We’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences—this is a topic that opens the door to powerful conversations.

Episode 115: Do Different: Breaking the Insanity Loop

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie, we dive into the idea of doing different to break out of the insanity loop. You know the loop we’re talking about—that frustrating cycle of repeating the same actions and expecting different results.

We share our insights on how to step back, reassess, and adjust your habits, mindset, or environment to create real, lasting change. Whether it’s personal or professional, the principle is the same: if you want different, you have to do different.

We’ll also reflect on how our own lenses—and the perspectives of those around us—shape our actions and decisions. How do we advocate for ourselves and stay focused on what truly matters? And how can we embrace change, even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain?

As we chat, we can’t help but look at how industry disruptors like Netflix and Uber transformed their fields by doing things differently. We’ll talk about lessons we can all learn from businesses that dared to break the mold.

So, where in your life or business do you need to adjust your approach? What would it look like to step up to the plate differently?
