Okay, Actually

Okay, Actually is a podcast for people who are working hard, still falling behind, and are starting to wonder if the problem is them. It's not.Each episode — always under 25 minutes — we dig into what's truly broken and figure out how to build a solution that can actually work.In this episode, I walk through what ground truth is, why it's harder to find than it sounds, and four questions I use to test whether I've actually gotten there — or whether I'm just comfortable with where I've landed.02:06 The Real Question03:04 Defining Ground Truth07:02 Four Ground Truth Tests15:57 When Truth Feels Deflating17:55 Apply It This WeekThe four questions:Does it change shape? Does your explanation about the problem change depending on who's asking?Can you break it? Can you find the scenario where you're wrong?Is this the source or the signal? If you solved this exact thing, would the underlying situation actually change?Does it hold alone?

Okay, Actually is a podcast for people who are working hard, still falling behind, and are starting to wonder if the problem is them. It's not.Each episode we dig into what's truly broken, and figure out how to build a solution that can actually work.The smartest women I know are drowning.

That last part is the tell: if effort isn't fixing it, you probably have the wrong diagnosis.In this episode, I walk through a situation where I did everything right — hired a coach, read the articles, built the spreadsheets, tried harder — and still couldn't crack it. Because I kept treating a people problem like a systems problem. No system fixes that.The question I want to leave you with: what problem are you working really hard on right now? And are you sure it's actually the problem?Find me here: [email protected] clear. Get sorted. Get going. Stay sane.
