#76: What do you actually know about your pelvic floor? Like… beyond “do your Kegels” and hope for the best? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sara Reardon (also known as The Vagina Whisperer) to talk all things pelvic floor health, pain with sex, birth recovery, body awareness, and her new book Floored. Whether you’re postpartum, perimenopausal, or just tired […]

Sexuality

#75 In this solo episode, I’m catching you up on everything life’s been throwing at me lately, from the unexpected pregnancy scare that had me spiraling (with Google searches and ovulation math) to reflecting on marriage, parenting, and what the hell it means to try and do it all well. I’m getting real about what this […]

Pregnant? Maybe. Busy? Definitely.

Relationships

#74 I’m joined by the incredible Ally Hoffman—licensed therapist, founder of Safe Space Healing Collective, and the type of human who lives and breathes what she teaches. With a background that spans music industry chaos, PR, and a full-circle moment into the therapy chair (as both client and practitioner), Ally brings a no-BS approach to healing that’s grounded, real, […]

Big Therapy Energy ft. Ally Hoffman

Mental Health

#73 In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Terentieva, founder of Off The Record—a connection card game built to help you skip the surface and get straight to the good stuff. We talk about everything from growing up as the go-to “deep chat” friend to building a product that’s helping people have conversations that actually matter. We […]

Relationships

#72 This week, I’m sitting down with Christiana Garza—mom, mentor, co-founder of Her Society, and the kind of woman who’s built a business and a life with both backbone and soul. We’re talking about what it really means to show up for yourself in motherhood, in business, and in the messy middle. From losing her dad at […]

Doing the Inner Work… and Still Getting Sh*t Done ft. Christiana Garza

Parenthood

#71: We’re back with an episode that’s part love story, part therapy session, and part “why would anyone do that to themselves?”—and it’s all happening from a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas (cue the romance). In this episode, I sat down with my husband, Josh Hedden, to talk about his completely casual plan to run […]

Mental Health

#70: Mikayla Chaparro didn’t just pivot—she rebuilt. The last time Mikayla came on the podcast, she was walking through the raw, immediate aftermath of losing her son, Valor. It was tender, heavy, and still too fresh to fully unpack. In this episode, Mikayla returns—still grieving, still growing, and now stepping into a completely new season […]

Grief, Growth & Getting Back Up ft. Mikayla Chaparro

#69: In this solo episode of Ironically Serious, I show up with a black eye, a pile of business hot takes, and absolutely zero apologies. (If you’re watching the video version—yes, I really did record this with a full-on face bruise.) I’m diving into how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has totally shifted my mindset—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and […]

You Don’t Need Brand Photos—You Need Balls

#68: What do you get when a former teacher builds a national women’s community, plans a conference for hundreds, and somehow still manages school pickup? You get Amanda Smith. In this episode, I sit down with the founder of Dallas Girl Gang to talk about what it really looks like to grow a brand, rally a community, […]

What They Don’t Tell You About Building a Community ft. Amanda Smith

Guests

#67: I took a little break (not from podcasting, just from pretending I have my life together) to enjoy spring break with my kids, and now I’m back with thoughts. I’ve officially entered my last 6 months of my 20s, and naturally, I’m deep in reflection mode. In this solo episode, I’m taking a look back at the last […]
