To be cringe is to be free: WELCOME TO CHIEF OF SELF!!

from Chief of Self · host Mady Maio

Welcome to the very first episode of Chief of Self! I’ve been dreaming about starting this podcast ever since Okay Sister ended, and I’m finally back on the mic...solo this time. In this episode, I talk about why I created Chief of Self, the white space I saw in my content, and how I’m blending self-development with my usual dose of silliness.I share what’s been lighting me up lately: from my Dancing with the Stars obsession to my trampoline ritual. And get into deeper reflections on identity, ambition, and what it really means to feel like your highest self. Plus, I unpack one of my favorite reminders: to be cringe is to be free.Think of this as a long, unfiltered voice note from me to you.
