As the founder of Pardon the Question, Jared is on a mission to get families talking — really talking — before it's too late.His journey started in the hospice industry, where he had the privilege of hearing hundreds of stories about families navigating the end of life. Combined with his own deeply personal experiences with loss, he noticed a painful pattern: we rarely ask the people we love the most the questions that matter most — about their finances, medical wishes, end-of-life plans, spirituality, and the legacy they want to leave behind. And almost every family, it turns out, has a few skeletons along the way.So he created Pardon the Question to help families start those conversations before crisis forces them to. Now, as a caregiver himself, Jared is living firsthand the chaos that unfolds when those questions go unasked — and he's more passionate than ever about changing that.http://www.pardonthequestion.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/pardon-the-question/This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this powerful mini episode of the Let's Get Naked podcast, Anne unpacks one of the most transformative personal growth tools: learning to speak your truth. Conditioned from childhood to be agreeable, quiet, and non-disruptive, many women and men override their intuition to keep others comfortable—at the expense of their own safety, self-trust, and nervous system regulation. Anne reframes silence as learned programming rather than politeness, explaining how suppressed boundaries manifest physically through anxiety, resentment, shame, and self-doubt. Speaking honestly—even when your voice shakes—is presented not as confrontation, but as self-protection and self-respect. Through raw conversation and real-life examples involving consent, conditioning, shame, and generational modeling, this episode explores how failing to use your voice reinforces internal narratives of worthlessness and smallness. Anne and Casey examine how emotional intelligence, boundary-setting, and embodied awareness rebuild self-trust over time. From uncomfortable social situations to deeply rooted trauma responses, the message is clear: the cost of silence is always higher than the cost of honesty. If you’re ready to stop playing small, break generational patterns, and reclaim your power through authentic self-expression, this episode delivers practical insight grounded in lived experience. This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this bold, no-whispers-allowed episode of Let’s Get Naked, Anne rips the curtain off the one topic that’s batting a thousand: death. She challenges why we’ll plan weddings, vacations, and retirement portfolios in obsessive detail—yet avoid the single guarantee of human existence. The conversation confronts the emotional and logistical fallout of avoidance (no wills, no directives, no hard talks) and reframes mortality as a clarifying tool that exposes what’s misaligned: postponed dreams, tolerated relationships, unfinished healing, and the “someday” mindset that keeps people living small.Anne is joined by Michael Showalter—producer of the show, studio manager, and self-described “galactic ambassador”—for a wide-ranging, surprisingly grounded dialogue on living with death close, funeral philosophy, and what it means to live in the present with intention. They explore ego vs. soul-led living, meditation depth, identity and deconditioning, and Michael’s personal experiences with sleep paralysis, altered states, and spiritual curiosity. The result is a raw, funny, and thought-provoking episode about reclaiming your attention, choosing meaning on purpose, and remembering who you are—before the clock makes the decision for you.Michael Showalter began his path with military service attached to 2nd Recon Battalion before earning a Master’s degree from Thunderbird and entering Arizona’s filmmaking scene, where he founded Snakebyte Media. Drawn increasingly toward sound and music, he pivoted into audio engineering—a shift that led him to his current role as producer and studio manager at PS Creative & Studios. Grounded in both discipline and curiosity, Michael explores creativity through ceremony, plant medicine, consciousness, shamanic journeys, and contact experiences, using sound as a tool for truth and transformation.https://linktr.ee/mt.showalter?utm_source=linktree_profile_share&ltsid=84af298d-30e7-4567-944a-e488ed60affahttps://www.instagram.com/mt_showalterhttps://pscreative.co/This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this Let’s Get Naked mini episode, Anne introduces a deceptively simple “power tool” for your best life: getting based. It means doing the unsexy groundwork—processing unresolved trauma, naming unsaid truths, and confronting the “live wires” you’ve been dragging around—before you try to stack success, money, relationships, or spirituality on top. Ann breaks down why momentum isn’t the same as healing, and how unprocessed pain doesn’t disappear—it runs quietly in the background, turning you into a trigger magnet and making your life feel louder, more chaotic, and more fragile than it needs to be.The conversation lands on a sticky visual: your nervous system and mental bandwidth work like a phone or computer—leave too many apps open and performance tanks. “Getting based” is the act of closing the apps, clearing the gunk, and returning to ground level so you can respond instead of react. The episode is a wake-up call to stop outsourcing your happiness, choose the hard work on purpose (before life forces it through burnout or conflict), and build real peace, power, and consistency from a steady internal foundation.This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

Most people aren’t trapped by their income—they’re trapped by performance: the “successful” lifestyle financed by quiet panic, credit cards, and the need to look okay. In this Let’s Get Naked conversation, Anne strips away the shame around debt and money avoidance and reframes the real issue: it’s not a math problem, it’s a self-awareness problem. If you’ve ever avoided your bank account, numbed out with spending, or felt the pressure to keep up with a lifestyle you can’t sustain, this episode puts language to what’s really happening—and why peace, clarity, and ownership beat “looking rich” every time.Anne is joined by George Grombacher—financial advisor, entrepreneur, and podcast host—to connect money habits to identity, goal-setting, and personal agency. Together they break down why most people never define what they want, how “everything is a priority” guarantees nothing changes, and why your calendar and budget reveal your real values. You’ll hear practical first principles—pay yourself first, stay out of high-interest debt, diversify—plus the mindset shift that makes change sustainable: stop arguing for your limitations, get curious, and start making adult decisions that buy freedom.George Grombacher is a five-time Investopedia Top 100 Financial Advisor, entrepreneur, and host of the top-rated LifeBlood podcast with more than 2,500 episodes. A former Division I scholarship athlete and top-100 junior tennis player in the U.S., George brings a performance mindset to money, leadership, and life. He is a five-time author, award-winning agency manager, and the host of The Aligned Money Show. His core philosophy is simple but demanding: Get better. Live how you want.

In this Let’s Get Naked mini episode, the conversation dives into mental strength, self-talk, and the powerful “Stop It” method — a simple but effective pattern interrupt that helps break negative thinking loops. Inspired by chapters from The LifeHack Playbook, the discussion explores how untrained thoughts create stress, anxiety, and self-sabotage — and how reframing perspective puts you back in control. Rather than promoting toxic positivity, the episode focuses on practical mental discipline: recognizing that thoughts are habits, reactions are learned, and your inner narrative can be edited just like any story.Through relatable examples, neuroscience references, and raw conversation, the hosts unpack the opportunity cost of negative thinking, the “mental muscle” of resilience, and why immediate results come from shifting perspective. From training your brain like a gym routine to protecting your energy (“skittles”) and turning life into a game of growth, this episode delivers actionable mindset tools for anyone ready to stop spiraling, reclaim their power, and build emotional strength in real time.This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this powerful Let’s Get Naked episode, Anne sits down with Brandon Day—former All-American linebacker, two-time national champion, and living proof that “winning” doesn’t protect you from burnout, chronic pain, addiction, or an identity collapse. Brandon shares the raw behind-the-scenes story of growing up in rugged Montana masculinity, using football as an outlet for anger and emotional shutdown, and what happened when the sport ended and the coping mechanisms stopped working. The conversation reframes vulnerability as a survival skill for men, especially those conditioned to white-knuckle through pain, control everything, and suppress emotion until the body—and life—forces the truth to the surface.Together, they unpack nervous system overload, the hidden roots of chronic pain and burnout, Brandon’s sobriety turning point, and how applied neurology and flow states helped him rebuild from the inside out. You’ll hear practical insights on purpose through curiosity, how identity can be reclaimed without performance, why holding space is often more powerful than saying the “right” thing, and what it looks like to choose accountability over victimhood. This episode is for anyone navigating reinvention, recovery, and the hard, honest work of becoming whole—without losing their edge.I’m Brandon Day. From the outside, my life once looked dialed in — All-American linebacker, two-time national champion, high performer. Inside, it was a different story. When sports ended, I spiraled into chronic pain, burnout, addiction patterns, and a full-blown identity collapse. I didn’t know who I was without the helmet — and I nearly lost myself trying to outrun that truth.Getting “naked” for me meant facing the parts I didn’t want to look at: shame, avoidance, control, and the pressure to always be strong. Through recovery, applied neuroscience, and learning how to access flow instead of force, I rebuilt myself from the inside out — not as a superhero, but as a human.Today, I’m a father of triplets, a coach, and the founder of Evolved Athlete. I teach people how to work with their nervous system, not against it — and how vulnerability, not toughness, is often the missing link to real healing, discipline, and freedom.I believe the dark parts of life aren’t problems to fix — they’re portals. And I’m here to talk about all of it.http://evolvedathlete.coachhttps://www.facebook.com/bmday34https://www.instagram.com/iambrandonday/https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon34day/https://www.youtube.com/@evolved_athleteThis podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this Let’s Get Naked mini episode, the conversation shifts toward one powerful idea: success isn’t about grinding harder — it’s about designing your environment to make winning easier. Inspired by The LifeHack Playbook, we explore how treating life like a game transforms daily stress into strategy. From choosing the “chill way” to reducing friction in routines, calendars, and environments, this episode reframes productivity as intentional setup rather than willpower. The core message is clear: when you remove unnecessary decisions and eliminate energy drains, momentum becomes automatic.Through candid conversation and practical examples, the episode breaks down victim mentality vs. ownership mindset, the importance of protecting your energy (“skittles”), and how small system upgrades create exponential results. Listeners will walk away with actionable tools for building smoother workflows, improving mental clarity, and turning everyday tasks into power-ups instead of obstacles — making life feel less heavy and far more playable.This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this episode, Anne sits down with Jenna Hedstrom for a raw, high-clarity conversation on spirituality, healing, addiction recovery, and the mechanics of real transformation. Jenna shares how her spiritual life began after a close friend was shot and killed—and how that tragedy opened the door to profound “visitations” and a new relationship with God that reshaped her identity, purpose, and path.From yoga revealing what the mind hides in the body (like chronic tension you don’t even notice) to the reminder that nobody is a guru—only a guide—Jenna breaks down what it actually means to hold responsibility when your work impacts other people’s lives. They challenge popular spiritual clichés like “Let go and let God,” unpacking why bypassing isn’t healing, and why the answers are already inside of you—if you build the capacity to feel.You’ll hear candid insight on pattern recognition (and pattern interrupts), shame and numbing, and how Jenna’s experience with heroin addiction gave her deep compassion for addicts—and the resolve to celebrate four years of sobriety. The episode closes with practical truth: emotions are a superpower, awareness is currency, triggers often come from somewhere else, and affirmations don’t work when your internal dialogue is misaligned—unless you can find evidence your nervous system can believe.Jenna Hedstrom is not your typical spiritual teacher. She’s a mentor for women who feel a deeper call and who are done looking outside themselves for answers. They are ready to become the authority, steward, and conscious creator of their own lives.Her work is grounded in lived experience and over a decade of immersive study. If it hasn’t been embodied, integrated, and tested in her own life, she doesn’t teach it. Period. After moving through addiction, grief, codependence, and years of people-pleasing and seeking validation, Jenna learned how to become self-led in the middle of chaos and move from clarity even when life felt uncertain. The capacity to stay present, sovereign, and anchored in herself became her personal mastery and the foundation of her work.As a powerful space holder and intuitive, Jenna creates spaces where things finally click. She doesn’t help women fix themselves — she helps them remember that every part of them was chosen on purpose, for a purpose. Her work welcomes the full human experience without bypassing or hierarchy, and supports women in transforming how they see themselves, make decisions, relate to others, and shape their lives — from the inside out.http://instagram.com/jennapaigehealinghttp://facebook.com/jenna.hedstromhttp://www.jennapaigehealing.comThis podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this mini episode of Let’s Get Naked, the conversation cuts straight through the noise around success, discipline, and intelligence to spotlight the real differentiator most people ignore: emotional intelligence (EQ). This episode reframes EQ as a practical performance skill—not softness—exploring how the ability to pause, process, and respond instead of react directly impacts leadership, relationships, parenting, self-trust, and long-term outcomes. The message is clear: many struggles aren’t happening to us, they’re happening through us, and EQ is the lever that changes that dynamic.The discussion becomes a grounded, real-world case study in emotional regulation, boundaries, and intentional decision-making. Through honest reflections on heartbreak, identity, and growth, the episode illustrates how sitting with discomfort, asking better questions, and allowing space for processing creates a clean emotional foundation—one that prevents reaction-driven choices and builds resilience. This is a raw, practical look at why EQ outperforms IQ when pressure hits, and why leveling up your emotional intelligence doesn’t make life easier—it makes you better.This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.

In this episode of Let’s Get Naked, Anne sits down with Linzee Belle to call out the pressure, performance, and conditioning wrapped around Valentine’s Day—and the deeper truth it exposes: when a holiday (or a person) can make you feel unworthy, that wound started long before the roses. Together, they unpack how self-worth gets unconsciously negotiated through expectations, people-pleasing, and the belief that being “chosen” equals being enough.They explore what real intimacy actually looks like: nervous-system safety, vulnerability, honest conversations, and the willingness to be seen in the messy parts—without outsourcing healing to a partner. The conversation weaves embodiment, shame, and triggers-as-mirrors into a practical path forward: regulate your body, reframe your thoughts, release urgency, and rebuild identity from the inside out.Ultimately, this episode is about sovereignty—choosing yourself, staying present, and creating love and connection as a daily practice, not a one-day performance. It’s a must-listen for anyone ready to stop living from lack and start living from alignment, self-trust, and real emotional freedom.Linzee Belle is an Embodiment practitioner, Artist, Soul Speaker, & Mentor for embodiment liberation.

In this mini-sode we unpack a standout chapter from The Life Hack Playbook using the “Skittles” framework—an unfiltered, easy-to-grasp way to measure where your energy is actually going each day. The message is simple and confronting: energy is currency, and what you consistently “fund” with your attention is what grows—whether that’s purpose, progress, resentment, or the same recycled excuses.Joined by Cameron and Wiley Karber, the conversation moves from rant to real-life application: how scrolling, gossip, venting, and negative rehearsal quietly invest in the reality you say you want to change. They explore “sneaky drains” like unfinished tasks and lingering mental load—the background programs running on your brain that steal focus, capacity, and peace without you noticing. The episode lands on a practical takeaway: audit the ledger, reduce friction, clear the live wires, and intentionally reallocate your energy toward what actually matters—so your life changes not magically, but measurably.This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma.
