Worthiness Warriors

Chelsea and Kevin sit down with author, actor, and host, Lily Clayton Hansen to talk about what human interaction means to us, why it's vital that we maintain face to face contact, and how getting curious about each of our interactions with others can bring us joy, closeless, and help move us away from loneliness. This and so much more in today's episode!

More about Lily:

Lily Clayton Hansen is a three-time author, actor, and TEDx speaker with over a decade of experience as a multimedia storyteller. In her career, the writer who is known for her biographical niche has written a best-selling book about the people of Nashville. Word of Mouth: Nashville Conversations has been called one of the best books ever written about the city for its authenticity and originality. The book attracted collaborations with institutions such as Vanderbilt University and the Nashville International Airport, both of whom hosted yearlong exhibitions and event series around Hansen's work. Hansen has also been commissioned to write hundreds of biographies for global corporations and to create and publish books to commemorate special occasions, such as the groundbreaking Fifty Voices to commemorate HCA Healthcare's golden jubilee. In 2019, she spoke about her interviewing process and ability to connect with anyone under the sun, from household name celebrities and CEOs to artists, refugees, and victims of homelessness, in a TEDx talk. "Talking to STrangers is my Self-Care" was voted one of the most popular talks at the event for its simple yet powerful message: treat others with kindness, dignity, and respect and get to the core of who they are. Hansen loves little more than having heartfelt conversations and capturing others in their best light.

When she isn't writing, Hansen is working on her next film project as an actor, producer, and screenwriter. Her last short "Snowflake," about a social media influencer who suffers from a breakdown because of too much focus on herself, won Hansen the Best Performance award at an international film festival. Her acting style has been called gritty, raw, and naturalistic.

Chelsea and Kevin sit down with co-founder and VP of strategy at SocialQ Agency, Thomas Soares, to talk about what it means to "get it right," especially when it comes to social media. How we can show up authentically, empathetically, with resonance, and not offend or hurt anyone is a major concern for many of us as we post on social media, yet is it really possible? And Thomas asks us all the question, do we really want to get it right all the time?

More about Thomas:

Thomas' passion for digital marketing strategy comes from a deep empathy and curiosity for how people think and interact with each other and brands. With over 10 years of hybrid strategy and account experience across big brands like Spotify, Coca-Cola, Adobe, P&G, and countless start-ups across D2C, Thomas has seen the shift towards 360 ecosystem strategy and operations it takes to resonate and reach today's consumer.

Chelsea and Kevin get vulnerable and honest this week about their reactions to the news that Chelsea's pregnant…and spoiler alert, it's probably not the reaction you expected. This week is all about how to give ourselves grace when we react in ways we don't expect, even to things we've been wanting forever, and understanding that we are never alone in our feelings. If you're going through feeling a certain way, chances are there is someone else feeling that way too.

Chelsea and Kevin sit down with dog trainer extraordinaire, Bethany Johnson, for a look at how dogs can influence our self-worth, especially when it comes to dog training. Bethany looks at how we can redefine our relationships to our furry friends, empower ourselves and say no, and take care of ourselves better…and this all starts and ends with finding those boundaries with your fur child.

More about Bethany:

Bethany is a pet sitter turned dog trainer with a love for helping owners go from 'I'm so overwhelmed,' to 'We've got this!'

She knows that having a challenging dog can feel overwhelming, but training doesn't have to be. She's been working with dogs and their owners since 2018 and from that has learned a lot. What works - what works really well. And turns out, it's really about you.

She's not just a dog trainer … She empowers you with the tools you need to stop the struggle, and live the life you dream of with your dog. And she knows how, because she did it with her dogs. It takes your confidence to another level!
