Polished Not Perfect started the way some of the best conversations do—between decades-long friends who trust each other enough to be honest, laugh at themselves, and admit that none of us has it all figured out. At its heart, this podcast is about real life: the careers we build, the relationships we navigate, the families we love, the expectations we juggle, and the occasional chaos that comes with trying to do it all.

While women are very much at the heart of many of our conversations, Polished Not Perfect is a place for anyone who appreciates honest perspectives, practical advice, a good story, and plenty of laughs along the way. Hosts Dr. Susan Taylor and Stacey Moore bring their friendship and experiences to the table—and invite experts, thought leaders, and interesting people to join us, adding their expertise, perspectives, and maybe a few lessons they learned the hard way. Because life isn’t perfectly polished. Neither are we. And that’s exactly what makes the conversation worth having.

  • Have It All. Don't Do It All.
    12 Oct 2026

    Success, family, career, self-care…who says you have to juggle everything perfectly?

    For many women, the pressure to be Superwoman is real. But what if the secret to having it all isn't doing more but about learning what to let go?

    In this refreshingly candid episode of Polished Not Perfect, we challenge the myth of doing it all. Through personal stories, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, we explore the inappropriate guilt that comes with asking for help, the power of delegation, and the myth that being constantly busy is a badge of honor.

    From outsourcing everyday tasks and setting boundaries to making time for yourself without guilt, this conversation offers practical strategies for reclaiming your time, protecting your energy, and focusing on what truly matters.

    The biggest takeaway? You can have it all—just not necessarily all at once. And you certainly don't have to do it all yourself.

    Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, leading a team, raising a family, trying to find a little breathing room (or all of the above), this episode is your permission slip to ditch perfection, redefine success, and start living life on your own terms.

    Because the goal isn't to be Superwoman. It's to be successful, fulfilled, and unapologetically yourself.

In honor of International Daughter's Day, Dr. Susan Taylor and Stacey Moore get real about how they cheer on their own daughters, some surprising lessons their kids taught them, and the ups and downs of being daughters themselves. Grab your coffee (or your kid's left over juice box or your wine) and join the conversation. It's heartfelt, honest, and yes -- polished, not perfect!
