Season 2 is here — and we’re coming in hot.

In this episode, I sit down with Marcia Masulla — marketing guru, agency owner, activist, political force, and what I lovingly call a “Happy Warrior.”

We start with the USA men’s hockey locker room controversy and why it struck such a nerve. Because it wasn’t about hockey. It wasn’t about men vs. women in sports. It was about culture. About what’s normalized. About what women are expected to tolerate.

And then we go deeper.

We talk about being laid off. Being fired. Reinventing yourself. The quiet rebuilding seasons. The confidence you earn the hard way.

And of course, we talk about Nashville — the kind of community that shows up when it matters most.

This episode is raw. It’s layered. It’s honest. It feels like sitting on the couch with us, glass in hand, saying the things we’re not supposed to say out loud.

Pull up a chair.

And if it hits you? Share it. Screenshot it. Send it to a friend. Let’s keep the conversation going.

And don't forget...DRINK MORE WATER!

For the final episode of my first season of Drink More Water, I had to go back to what is quite possibly my favorite episode of 2025. I had a lot of favorites, but this is one that I revisit often when I need life advice.

Jason Burke built a jerky and meat snacks business from his kitchen counter...and he turned it into a national brand with shelf space in over 10,000 stores nationwide. And he's just getting started. So how did he do it? He tells us in this conversation. He shares his wins, his losses, and his words of wisdom for anyone wanting to get in the game.

Your game might not be snacks in a grocery store, but I promise you that whatever you're chasing right now, Jason Burke is the guy to help you get there. With Mercury sneaking into retrograde this week, there is no better time to dive into this episode and set yourself up for success!

And don't forget...DRINK MORE WATER!

In this re-release of Drink More Water, I sit down with Megan Conner, a running coach and author of "I Am Not a Runner," to talk about what it really means to try something new when you don’t see yourself as “that kind of person.”

In honor of Lunar New Year and the Year of the Fire Horse, this conversation feels more relevant than ever. Fire Horse energy is bold, independent, and a little fearless — and Megan’s journey embodies exactly that.

She didn’t grow up identifying as a runner. She started with curiosity, discomfort, and a willingness to redefine herself, and she teaches us all that we can do the same!

We talk about:
• Setting goals that scare you
• Becoming someone you never imagined you could be
• Why identity shifts are the hardest — and most powerful — kind of growth
• The difference between motivation and commitment
• Coaching yourself through the messy middle

Whether your “running” is fitness, business, creativity, or simply chasing something that feels out of reach, this episode is about claiming the audacity to try.

If the Year of the Fire Horse is about movement, momentum, and courage — consider this your sign.

Listen. Reflect. And maybe start the thing you keep saying you’re “not.”
