Episodes

  1. S1. Ep.09 What You Actually Want vs. What You Were Told to Want

    What do you want? Not what looks good on paper. Not what would make your parents proud or your friends less worried about you. What do you, actually, want? If that question just made something in your chest go slightly strange, you're in exactly the right place. Because for most of us, that...

  2. S1. Ep.08 The Beliefs That Were Never Yours

    Finish this sentence: "I'm not the kind of person who…" Notice how quickly your brain fills in the blank. Notice how true it feels. Now here's the question Episode 8 of The Gentle Badass asks: what if that's not a fact? What if it's just a very old opinion -one you absorbed so young you never...

  3. S1. Ep.07 Positive Realism: The Antidote to Toxic Positivity

    Someone tells you "everything happens for a reason" on a day when everything feels wrong. And somehow, you feel worse. Now you're not just dealing with your original problem. You're feeling guilty for not being positive enough about it. In Episode 7 of The Gentle Badass, we're talking about toxic...

  4. S1. Ep.06 Feelings Aren't the Enemy. They're the Map.

    What do you do with a feeling you don't want to feel? If your answer involves staying busy, opening the fridge for the fourth time, or saying "I'm fine" -this episode is for you. In Episode 6 of The Gentle Badass, we're talking about feelings. Not the inspirational kind. The inconvenient ones.…

  5. S1. Ep.05 Reparenting: Meeting the One Inside You

    That child in the photo, the one you can be so endlessly kind to, and the adult sitting here right now? They're the same person. In this episode of The Gentle Badass, we explore one of the most profound and most misunderstood concepts in personal growth: the inner child. Not as a spiritual...

  6. S1. Ep. 04 The Voice in Your Head Isn't Yours

    That voice in your head -the one that started this morning before you even got out of bed- where did it actually come from? The running commentary that points out everything you did wrong, everything you're not, and everything you should be. The voice that sounds so much like you that you've…

  7. S1. Ep. 03 - The Good Child Tax

    What did it cost you to be the good one? Being the child who didn't cause problems, who kept the peace, who made it easy for everyone else, wasn't free. There was a price. And most of us have been paying it ever since without ever seeing the receipt. In this episode, we talk about the hidden cost...

  8. S1. Ep. 02 - When 'Fine' Becomes a Red Flag

    "I'm fine." Two words we say before we've even checked. In this episode, we look at the kind of "fine" that isn't an answer -it's a coping strategy. The "fine" that means: I'm holding so much that if I open the door even an inch, everything will come out. We talk about what it actually means when...

  9. Welcome to The Gentle Badass

    You've been doing everything right. Ticking the boxes, saying the right things, being who everyone needs you to be. And still — something feels off. The Gentle Badass is a podcast for people who know something needs to change — they're just not sure how to do it without losing everyone they love…

  10. S1. Ep. 01 - Running on Outdated Programming

    You look fine. Maybe even enviable from the outside. You've built a life that ticks a lot of boxes. And privately? Privately you've been wondering when it's going to start feeling the way you thought it would. This is the episode where we name that feeling. In this first episode of The Gentle...
