Release Date: 04/20/2026
Boldly Becoming You
Your business problem probably isn't a business problem. That's where we start this episode If you've bought the programs, followed the frameworks, tried to stay consistent, and you're still hitting the same wall... the issue was misdiagnosed from the start. What looks like a strategy problem, a consistency problem, or a mindset problem is almost always a dysregulated nervous system problem. And no amount of content calendars or launch plans is going to fix that. They get into all of it in this episode - including what it actually took for them to stop pouring money into the wrong...

If you've tried every productivity system out there and still feel like you're failing at your own goals, this episode is for you. Tasha sits down with ADHD coach, Bianca Faricy, to get real about why neurotypical goal-setting frameworks don't work for ADHD brains, what burnout recovery actually looks like when you're neurodivergent, and how emotion-first goal setting changes everything. From This Episode: Bianca got her ADHD diagnosis at 47, burned out of a 25-year teaching career, and rebuilt her life from scratch. Here's what she and Tasha unpack: Why ADHD goal-setting is a completely...

We're BACK. It's been about nine months since our last episode and Tasha is on day 21 of her cycle so… buckle up. In this episode, Tasha and Brandon get real about what it actually looks like to re-enter something you love after a long pause, why getting crystal clear on who you're talking to changed everything for their business, and how the life you've been dreaming about is probably closer than you think → you're just not clocking it. In this episode: Why they stopped recording (and what finally got them back) hint: Instagram Lives were the baby step into podcasting again The truth...

In this episode, we break down the most foundational practice in our entire framework, and answer the question almost every client starts with: “I know I need nervous system regulation… but how the fuck do I actually do that with the life I have?!” We talk about why NSR is not just for the meltdown moments, how it quietly transforms your relationship with productivity, parenting, partnerships, and purpose, and how Brandon went from never regulating to knowing with full-body certainty that he’ll never drink again. We touch on: Why 30–60 seconds of nervous system regulation might be...

In this episode, we unpack the #1 reason you keep thinking you're the problem when you're not: complex life circumstances and how integrating them instead of ignoring them changes everything about how you work, parent, rest, and relate. We talk about the patterns we didn’t even know were patterns: Tasha wondering why she could build empires one week and collapse the next, Brandon’s years of overfunctioning while feeling like nothing was ever enough, and the quiet shame spiral of why can’t I just do this thing that almost everyone in our community knows by heart. We touch on: The actual...

In this episode, we unpack one of the most wildly underutilized tools for business, parenting, and being human with a uterus: cycle syncing and how it completely changed the way we work, connect, and rest. We talk about Tasha’s 20+ year pattern of crushing it one week and crumbling the next, Brandon trying to decode moods like a foreign language, and the honest truth about why routines haven’t stuck (and probably never will) if you’re ignoring your cycle. We touch on: How your brain, energy, and confidence can shift up to 25% each month and why that matters more than any other routine....

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on one of the foundational tools we use with our clients across Unshakeable You, Phoenix Rising, Bootcamp and The Village: our deceptively simple “Wins, Effective/Ineffective, and Questions” check-in. We talk about what we’re rewatching, orthorexia and the clean eating rabbit hole, your grandmother’s apple pie (and why Brandon says it can’t be the best) You’ll hear: Why labeling things “good” or “bad” might be killing your creativity and momentum. How “maladaptive coping” (hi cigarettes, doomscrolling, productivity...

What do I want???? Whether you're deep in burnout, running on autopilot, or just feeling disconnected from yourself after years of being useful to everyone else… I get it. This episode walks you through the 5 mistakes that keep so many of us stuck in survival mode, waiting for clarity that doesn’t come and the first 3 steps to figuring out what you actually want.

In this episode, we unpack what’s actually going on when you “can’t stay consistent,” and why burnout, chronic stress, and your Complex Life Circumstances (CLCs) keep you stuck in a loop that discipline alone will never solve. We dig into: Why discipline only works after you’ve built capacity The sneaky ways internalized capitalism, ableism, and childhood conditioning show up in your day What your body, your flare-ups, your freeze response, and your avoidance are really trying to tell you Why being “too tired to function” or “constantly behind” is not a personal...

In this episode we dig into: What actually happens when you stop living in survival mode and your nervous system finally chills the fuck out? Spoiler: it’s weirder than you think. Having time doesn’t mean you magically know how to enjoy it. Sometimes the pause feels like a loss you didn’t see coming. The very real tension between finally having space to create and just wanting to nap, zone out, or do absolutely nothing. Your brain isn’t reacting to the moment, it’s predicting based on old chaos and current circumstances which means sometimes you kinda short-circuit. Being...
