While the focus of our podcast is leadership, the foundation is on the impact communication has across all relationships. Our podcast is a no-holds-barred exploration of myth and method, risk and reward, hell and hope, idiocy and ideas, ouchies and opportunities, do’s and don’ts, fear and fearlessness. It is our hope that you’ll leave each episode with a new perspective to consider, a different way of thinking about something, a rabble-rousing approach to solving a problem, or a realization that how you impact the people around you directly correlates to the results you achieve in business and in life.

🚨 Feelings aren’t flaws. They’re data.
This one’s for every strong-silent-type who was told “don’t cry,” “don’t celebrate too loud,” or “don’t lose it.” Carla and Shellie get hilariously honest about emotional constipation, Olympic-level stuffing, and why it’s time to digest your damn feelings before they turn into toxicity in your body (and your life).

"She’s Always Late. Is That Disrespect?”
Welcome to our post-show aftershock: one honest moment sparked a full-on unpacking of lateness, respect, and how we assign meaning. Carla wonders: is repeated lateness a quiet betrayal of friendship? Shelley says: not so fast. What if it's not about you at all? From neurodivergence and cultural rhythms to personal values and slippery slopes, we wander through the murky middle—where friendship, boundaries, and expectations collide. As always, we’re here not to fix, but to question. And we’d love to know: where do you draw the line?

72: "I'm Sorry But..." Isn't an Apology - It's a Disguise
Wednesday May 14, 2025
Wednesday May 14, 2025
Heads up — we’re calling BS on the apology reflex.
In this no-holds-barred conversation, Carla and Shellie peel back the layers behind “I’m sorry” — that automatic mask we slap on before sharing an opinion, asking a question, or daring to take up space. If you've ever said "I'm sorry, but..." before saying what you really meant, this one’s for you. Come for the candor, stay for the clarity, and leave with a little less sorry in your spirit.

Unapologetic Rabble-Rousers
While the focus of our podcast is leadership, the foundation is on the impact communication has across all relationships.
Together, we bring over 70 years of experience as leaders, coaches, team members, degreed and capped students of organizational psychology, change management practitioners, executive coaching, engineering, IT, and rabble-rousing as women of influence from heavily male-dominated work environments.
Our podcast will be a no-holds-barred exploration of myth and method, risk and reward, hell and hope, idiocy and ideas, ouchies and opportunities, do's and don'ts, fear and fearlessness.
It is our hope that you'll leave each episode with a new perspective to consider, a different way of thinking about something, a rabble-rousing approach to solving a problem, and a realization that how you impact the people around you directly correlates to your results in business and in life.
