- Charlotte Jackson: Trust Falling With the Universe — On Dreaming Vaguely and Following Your Fun-tuition
Charlotte Jackson is a private chef, cofounder of CANDID, writer, coach, and host focused on helping people have better conversations with themselves and each other. She's also one of the original minds behind Reading Rhythms, the silent reading community that started on a rooftop in Williamsburg and caught the attention of the New York Times and the Today Show.
Charlotte is one of those people who wants to do all of it — and rather than questioning what to eliminate, she's letting it all coexist. A lot of us feel the limitations, and even the slow death, of the linear career path, and Charlotte is a living example of what's possible when you loosen your grip on that model we inherited. When you give yourself permission to experiment rather than arrive.
In this conversation: running two experiments at once, Internal Family Systems and the warring parts within us, why she's allergic to the word strategy, how to embrace your vague dreams and follow your Fun-tuition.
Mentioned in this episode: Run Two Experiments — the framework Charlotte references for navigating a career transition: one experiment for the thing you can't stop thinking about, one for the skill you can offer tomorrow.

1 hr 3 min - Kate Mueller: Nature Can Hold All of Our Differences — On Coffins, the Camino, and Awe
"I'm the last to know why I do things," Kate Mueller said to me during this interview. What an enticing revelation, especially as Kate and I looked back on the creative projects that have come through her, starting with a coffin she began building when she was 19, that sits in the middle of her living room at 35. She told me it is a good way to not watch too much Netflix. Not only has her coffin been with her as a reminder of our shared truth, but she's made friends through it, hosting coffin parties in LA where people gather to explore mortality over a glass of wine. Great way to skip some small talk!
In my experience, the exploration or the contemplation of our own mortality has a helpful side effect — it orients us back to our life. The nowness (whether you like it or not!) of it all. And her work also takes us there. Kate's large scale installations, including String of Light That Connects All Things, a series of steel sculptural forms placed along the Southern California shoreline at sunset, are designed not to be looked at but to draw your awareness to what's already there. We talk about her orientation towards the awe of the natural world, how she gathered her friends and family across political differences following the 2024 election for an installation on the beach, and what that experience opened up for her.
Kate's journey has been true to her from the beginning, and her life as an artist has been informed by her own pilgrimage for truth. From growing up homeschooled in a conservative and religious household, to being met by a nun at the train station in Romania to live in a monastery — where she hoped to find the clarity and courage to be honest with her family about her faith — to walking the Camino de Santiago alone in her early 20s, she found her foundational truth. A belief that people are good, that we are here to care for one another, and that anyone can mirror back to you a spark of the divine. And that nature has a way of holding us all.
This conversation will invite you to step into the awe that exists right here in this lifetime.
In this episode we talk about:
- Building her own coffin at 19 — and what it's taught her about living
- Hosting coffin parties in LA and what happens when you bring mortality into the room
- Growing up homeschooled in a conservative religious household and knowing early her truth lied somewhere beyond it
- What 500 miles alone in winter taught her about people
- String of Light That Connects All Things and the Thanksgiving beach installation
- Sitting inside a mirror chamber and stepping outside your own ego
- Why she still believes people are largely good — and what convinced her
- Success looks like a worn down pencil — and wishing notes washing back to shore

1 hr 15 min - Tazin Khan: Are You Doing This for Ego or Impact?
Tazin Khan is a cyber risk strategist, digital rights advocate, and the founder and CEO of Cyber Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to making digital safety education accessible, human, and community rooted. Her work is driven by a simple but urgent belief: everybody deserves to experience the internet without harm.
That belief didn't come from a boardroom. It came from growing up Bengali in post-9/11 Virginia as one of the only Muslim families for miles. From translating immigration documents in fourth grade. From living in and out of her car at nineteen while working three jobs and meeting a stranger who she emailed every month until she got hired. From watching her father get scammed on Facebook and realizing the gap between what the industry knows and what the people most at risk are ever taught.
Tazin has spent over 13 years in cybersecurity — across Fortune 10 companies, government agencies, and grassroots organizing — and what she's built with Cyber Collective is something the industry was never going to build for itself. A community-rooted, feminine-designed organization that meets people where they are and asks the questions the sector would rather not answer.
This conversation goes deep into all of it.
We talk about:
- Growing up bicultural and what it taught her about empathy, translation, and pushing back
- The Michael Kors moment that changed the direction of her life
- What she learned — and what she couldn't unsee — in corporate cybersecurity
- Why the internet's harms are not the user's fault and what accountability actually looks like
- Building Cyber Collective: the vision, the near-burnout, and what's coming
- Feminine design principles and what it looks like to run an org aligned to your body and your values
- The question she asks herself constantly: am I doing this for ego or for impact
- What proximity to power does to you and how she stays honest about it
- Why to get far, sometimes you have to stop
What stayed with me after this conversation is that Tazin is doing exactly what this show believes is possible: taking the most personal work and turning it outward. Her story is her methodology. And her methodology is changing what the internet is allowed to do to the people it was never designed to protect.
ABOUT TAZIN KHAN
Tazin Khan is the founder and CEO of Cyber Collective, a nonprofit making digital safety education accessible, human, and community rooted. With over 13 years of experience spanning Fortune 10 companies, government agencies, and grassroots organizing, her work has reached more than 5.5 million people globally.

1 hr 7 min - Corey Thibodeau: When You Stop Forcing It
Corey Thibodeau is the co-founder of West Side Yoga — three studios in Providence, Rhode Island that have become something rarer than a successful small business. A place where people find each other, and sometimes, finally find themselves.
She will not dress it up for you. What it actually takes to build something real while straddling a corporate career. What it feels like to give a decade of yourself to a company and have it end the way it ended. What patience and trust — not hustle, not forcing — actually produce when you finally give them room. And what it means to build something so rooted in a community that the community starts to heal because of it.
That is what this conversation is. The honest version of a story a lot of people are living but not saying out loud.
We talk about:
- Running a half marathon ten years after swearing off running — and why this time felt nothing like suffering
- Building West Side from a single studio to three locations, a teacher training program, and a waitlist
- A decade of doing both — and what that duality actually costs
- The truth of what it feels like to be laid off after ten years — and the honest reckoning with never having left on her own
- Her husband Joe — business partner, balance, and the person who nudged her toward a half marathon at 1am in November
- Santosha — contentment — and how hard it is to live a practice you teach
- The third space that sat empty for months, and what shifted when she finally said yes
- What happens when you stop forcing and start trusting — and what that produced
- The impact of building something truly local, truly communal — and why that might be exactly what the world needs right now
ABOUT COREY THIBODEAU

1 hr 7 min - Spring Space
This week, I'm taking a little space — and I want to offer you the same.
A year into leaving the corporate world to build something new, I caught myself in a familiar pattern: the same nonstop hustle I thought I'd left behind. This episode is a small pause to name that, sit with it, and try something a little different.
I share where my obsession with truth actually began — a foundational acting exercise called Meisner repetition, where the whole practice is just speaking the felt sense of what's true in the moment. And then I offer a visual I've carried since 2019: a straight line and a squiggle. One is alignment. One is being human.
This episode ends with a short guided meditation — whether you're sitting, walking, driving, or somewhere in between — just a few minutes to come back to yourself and notice what's true right now.
Consider it spring space.
27 min - Wade Brill: We Have One Mind, One Body, One Life
Wade Brill woke up the Monday we recorded this episode, got a last-minute cancellation, and found herself with unexpected open space in her morning. She didn’t fill it. She went for a walk. That choice — to meet the open space instead of immediately closing it — is the whole philosophy. It sounds simple. It isn’t. She’s been practicing it for a long time.
Wade Brill is a mindfulness coach, meditation teacher, certified professional coach, and author of 100 Mindful Moments — a book ten years in the making that she finally published almost a year ago. She trained through UCLA and works with clients to strengthen their mindfulness muscles, gain awareness of what’s meaningful to them, and make more intentional choices from the inside out.
In this conversation, Wade takes us into the rupture that changed everything: a cancer diagnosis at 21 while studying abroad in Buenos Aires, and the sudden loss of her mother two months into chemotherapy. It was in that impossible convergence that she found meditation — not as a wellness practice, but as access to herself, and to her life. What emerged was a life philosophy rooted in body intelligence, self-trust, and the radical choice to actually live rather than just get through it.
We talk about hurry sickness and why American culture trains us to equate speed with worth, the difference between living from your head versus your body, what it means to have a strong constitution, and why self-trust is the antidote to anxiety.
In This Episode:
- Why mindful living is consistently hard even for those who teach it
- The decade-long internal battle to publish her book — and what finally shifted
- Negativity bias, proof in the pudding, and why sharing her work is a marathon not a sprint
- COVID’s lasting impact on loneliness and connection — and what the statistics actually show
- How her cancer diagnosis at 21 and her mother’s sudden death became the foundation of her life’s work
- Why the body holds more wisdom than the mind
- What meditation gave her access to in the middle of a shit storm
- The concept of “constitution” — and the mountain within
- Equanimity as nervous system regulation
- The overwhelm archetypes quiz — Kathryn is a Spinner, Wade is a Controller
- Hurry sickness: why we speed up even when we don’t need to
- Practicing the pause: a tool you can use anywhere, anytime
- The centered walk as a mindfulness practice
- Self-trust as the antidote to anxiety

1 hr 5 min - In Defense of Your Human Brain: Solo Reflections on AI, Creative Voice, and Getting Your Reps In
After a month of conversations with Esosa Osa, Asma Khan, Franziska Gonder, and Stacey Lindsay, Kathryn steps back to name what she's learning and living through: the humility of being a year into a major career transition, the gap between taste and execution that every creative has to sit inside, and the growing pressure to outsource her own thinking in an age when that's never been easier to do.
She talks about runway — real, financial runway — and the parts of this transition that don't make it into the highlight reel. She shares Ira Glass's concept of the taste/execution gap and why the only answer is more reps. And she brings it all back to a single question she's refusing to stop asking: what do I actually want to create?
In this episode:
- One year since leaving her last job — what that anniversary actually feels like, and the context she thinks is missing from most "I made the leap" stories
- The Ira Glass taste vs. execution gap, and why comparing yourself to someone with a thousand reps when you have twenty is both humbling and human
- Brené Brown's arena metaphor — and Kathryn's honest reckoning with the times she's been in the cheap seats
- AI as temptation to "optimize": the HBR finding that AI doesn't reduce work, it intensifies it — and what that's looked like inside a team of one
- What her acting teacher said about voice — and what it clarified about why she's making this at all

42 min - Stacey Lindsay: This Life, Your Life, Belongs to You
Stacey Lindsay is a journalist and author whose work has always centered on one thing — creating the conditions for people to tell the truth. As a girl, she watched Diane Sawyer, Maria Shriver, and Christiane Amanpour on the news and felt the thread pulling her toward that work. Years later she took the risk to follow it. Her early career as a journalist took her out into the field — everything from covering tornados in Oklahoma to driving through southeast Kansas talking to farmers and veterans. She has spent her life listening to other people’s truths. This book is the first time she turned the journalism on herself.
What she noticed as a journalist, and then as a woman entering her forties, was a gap. A season of life where women are releasing what hasn’t been working, questioning the lies they’ve been carrying about their worth, their lives, their possibilities. A season that didn’t have enough honest storytelling around it. She writes about feeling a “perpetual homesickness for my own truth” and that feels like the wound underneath this book. The reason she had to write it. The writing became the healing and the road back to truth.
What struck me and what I keep returning to through the arc of this season is how this book invites us past the surface of concepts we hear constantly but rarely interrogate fully. Patriarchy. Worth. Identity. Stacey’s journalism takes us deeper, so we can actually reckon with our own liberation.
Reading this book felt like meeting a collective of women who had challenged the status quo, with each story Stacey pulls together as a paradigm-shifting reimagining of what is possible in our lifetimes.
What she built is not a self-help book. It is not a how-to. It is something rarer. A mirror held up by a journalist who has spent her whole career in the room when people finally say the thing they haven’t said out loud before. And this time, one of those people was her.
Her mother told her at fifteen: don’t lose your identity. Never lose your identity. What Stacey witnessed in the years that followed became the quiet center of everything she built. This book feels like a dedication and a calling to awaken what has remained unlived.
This conversation goes into the territory this show was made for — what it costs to contort yourself to fit the stories you were handed, what starts to shift when you stop, and what becomes possible on the other side of that reckoning. For Stacey, for the women in this book, and for all of us who recognize ourselves in it.
We talk about:
- Her formation as a journalist and the career she built before she turned the lens on herself
- The reckoning with having contributed to the very narratives she is now questioning — the binary thinking, the patriarchal ideals, the capitalism she helped fuel
- Her mother’s story — the warning she gave Stacey at fifteen, the life she couldn’t hold onto, and what witnessing that did
- The invisible inner prison — what patriarchal conditioning actually feels like from the inside, not as a definition but as a lived experience
- Why ambition isn’t disappearing — it’s being redirected, and the difference matters
- Work that becomes extractive, and what it means to build boundaries not to do less but to protect what actually feeds you
- The Autumn Queen — the mythological archetype missing from our storytelling, the one that lives between mother and crone, and why its absence has been anything but accidental
- Money, worth, and sweat equity — the conversation women have been conditioned out of having
- Relationships she stayed in longer than she should have and what she would tell her younger self now
- Social media and the subtle, relentless ways it erodes self-trust
- What the writing process actually looked like and why finishing this book required the same faith she is asking her readers to find
- The season of life she is in right now, and why taking care of herself is the most important thing she can do for everyone she loves

1 hr 14 min - Franziska Gonder: Leadership That Heals the World
There are conversations that inform you. And then there are conversations that return you to yourself. Lucky for us, this one does both.
Franziska Gonder arrived on this show as what I can only describe as a missing puzzle piece — for my own understanding and for the inquiry this season has been journeying us toward. Guest after guest this season has been pulling a thread about what it means to live true to ourselves, to hear ourselves beneath the noise, to create our lives from that place.
Franzi is the person who arrived this season with something I hadn't encountered in quite this way before — work that holds the wisdom of the body, the culture we are navigating, the organizations we inhabit, and the seasons of life we move through, all at once.
Franziska Gonder is a global somatic leadership coach and founder of Leadership That Heals. She works with high-achieving leaders and founders across industries — boardrooms, venture capital, organizations in crisis. What drew her to this work was a curiosity she developed inside the work itself. As she was advising leaders and organizations, she began to notice something — there was the work people were doing, and then there was how they were doing it. The patterns under pressure. The emotional life nobody was naming. And when she started creating space for those conversations, people told her: this is it. This is what I need. She followed that thread all the way here. And her own life — the losses, the reckonings, the long journey back to her own body — became inseparable from the methodology she built.
Her work is an exhale. A return. The basics. The kind of simplicity that turns out to be the most sophisticated thing in the room.
In this conversation we go somewhere I haven't gone on this show before — she guides me through a somatic experience in real time. And what surfaced for me in those few minutes is something that may seem subtle, but left me speechless. That the wisdom I was looking for was already here — all I needed was the guidance and the space to turn my attention and curiosity inward.
That, it turns out, is also the whole point of this show.
We talk about:
- The relationship with choice — what it actually means to lead your own life, reclaim your agency, and stop being driven by external pressure
- How the nervous system of a leader shapes the nervous system of an entire team — and what becomes possible when leadership is regulated, present, and emotionally aware
- Leadership that extracts vs. leadership that heals — why belonging, safety, and dignity are not soft ideals but the actual foundations of high performance and organizational culture
- The cost of performing the role at work — the emotional debt, the switching cost, and the slow trauma of leaving parts of yourself out day after day
- Somatic intelligence and somatic leadership — what it means to lead from the body, not just the mind, and why this is the missing piece in how we think about leadership development
- AI, creative friction, and human connection — why removing friction from our work may be removing the very thing that makes it ours
- What she calls Team Human — and why she believes we are on the cusp of a rise in relational intelligence, authentic community, and human gathering
- The season of life she is navigating right now — messy, meaningful, and fully inhabited
- And what she knows now about healing, leadership, and belonging to yourself that she couldn't have known when she was still on the other side of it
About Franziska Gonder
Franziska Gonder is a global somatic leadership coach and founder of Leadership That Heals. She works with high-achieving leaders, founders, and executives across industries, guiding them through the inner transformation that allows them to lead with more clarity, less chaos, and a nervous system that is finally on their side.

1 hr 13 min - Asma Khan: I Came Out Glistening Like Gold
The first time I heard Asma Khan speak, I was sitting in the back of an auditorium in Los Angeles at a crossroads in my life. I didn't know who she was before that day. By the time she finished, something in me had shifted.
She spoke truth — about her own life and about the world we live in — in a way that felt like an earthquake of permission.
Asma Khan is an Indian-born British restaurateur, cookbook author, and one of the most singular voices in the world right now. Her restaurant Darjeeling Express, in the heart of London's Soho, is home to one of the world's only all-female kitchens — staffed entirely by South Asian immigrant women, home cooks, never professionally trained, many of them second daughters, much like Asma herself. She was the first British chef profiled on Netflix's Chef's Table. She is a Time 100 Most Influential Person, a UN World Food Programme Chef Advocate, and holds a PhD in Constitutional Law from King's College London. Her third cookbook, Monsoon, was released last year.
She is a woman who came to know herself underneath every layer of assumption her culture placed on her — and created her life from that place with such conviction that it changed what was possible for the women and communities around her. Her story is personal and it is political and it is spiritual — and it is one of the most complete examples I have encountered of what this show is all about.
In this conversation we bring her story into the territory this show was made for — what it means to come to know yourself underneath everything you were told you should be, and to create your life with integrity and courage from that place.
We talk about:
- Being born a second daughter in a culture that marked that as a disappointment — and the sister who held the flickering flame
- The loneliness of London, the return to her family's recipes, and what she was building before she knew she was building it
- The Sufi water philosophy that guided her — scarring every hurdle so the women who came after her could just flow
- Why cooking has become a combat sport — and what she built instead
- The economic worthiness of her matriarchal model
- The PhD in constitutional law she didn't use conventionally — and why Darjeeling Express may be her most constitutional act
- The industry reckoning happening right now — the silence, the victims, and her conviction that change is possible
- What it means to be powerful, successful, and compassionate all at once
- The season of transition she is in right now — hanging on and letting go, autumn before the spring
- And a passage from her favorite book, Khalil Gibran's The Prophet, that feels like the whole conversation in a few lines: Say not I have found the truth, but rather I have found a truth. Say not I have found the path of the soul. Say rather I have met the soul walking upon my path.
