What if the way you speak is costing you trust?

What if you’re losing alignment, clarity, and connection, not because of what you’re saying, but how you’re saying it?

This episode goes deep into one of the biggest realizations we’ve had in business and marriage, the difference between thinking in color vs. thinking in black and white.

Chris and I share the very real, very raw process we’re working through right now:

→ How vague language created confusion in our teams

→ Why emotional storytelling doesn’t work when people need clarity

→ And how the 1 Layer Deep Framework became the outline we needed to move from chaos to real communication

This isn’t about being harsh or rigid.

It’s about removing the unnecessary, owning what you actually want, and saying it out loud.

If you’ve ever struggled to be understood, to be followed, or to feel like your team or partner really gets you, this one will shift something big.

Let’s talk about the real reason you feel overwhelmed.

It’s not your team.

It’s not the task list.

It’s that you’re still answering every question. Still holding all the outcomes. Still flying in like a hero to fix what shouldn’t even land on your plate.

In this bonus chapter from the book, I talk about what it means to be a helicopter owner, and why so many founders end up building businesses that rely entirely on them, even when they think they’ve delegated.

I share my own wake-up call, the day I realized I was Wendy, and how I had to stop being the answer to everything if I wanted to actually scale.

This isn’t about micromanaging. It’s about identity.

And if all roads still lead to you, you need to hear this.

Christy Honeycutt has coached hundreds of executives. She’s worked inside fast-moving organizations, led high-performing teams, and sat across from decision-makers who are burned out but can’t say it out loud.

She’s not just a leadership coach, she's someone who understands what it feels like to lead when you're not okay.

In this episode, we sat down for a raw conversation about what happens when you’re carrying more responsibility than authority. When you’re the one holding it all together, but no one’s holding space for you.

We talk about why burnout in leadership looks different, how trust is built and broken inside teams, and why so many people are walking away from roles that once lit them up.

If you’ve ever felt like your voice doesn’t match your responsibility, or like the pressure to perform is costing you something deeper, this episode will meet you right where you are.

I’m under more pressure than I’ve ever been, managing companies, launching a book, navigating what leadership really looks like when the stakes are high… and yet, I’ve never felt more clear.

In this episode, we go deep into:

1. What next-level stress actually feels like and how I learned to stop letting it control me
2. Why old versions of me would’ve cracked under this moment and what’s different now
3. The invisible weight of leadership, legacy, and the loneliness of outgrowing the people you love
4. How “someday” thinking almost killed our growth and how we flipped it
5. The exact micro moves that keep me sane, strong, and moving

You’ll hear the real story: the self-doubt, the missed moments, the mindset that changed everything.

If you’ve ever felt like the weight is too heavy, this one is for you.

This wasn’t just another chapter, this was the storm that tore everything open.

In this episode, I share the bonus section from the book: the real story of what happened during Hurricane Ian, the loss, the chaos, and how it exposed the gaps in our business and in me as a leader.

I talk about:

1. Watching 98% of our customers disappear in 3 days
2. Leading my team through the fear while I was falling apart inside
3. The Vegas keynote that became the birth of the 1 Layer Deep framework
4. And the moment I realized… I couldn’t lead the same way anymore

If you’re going through it right now, this episode is for you.

Not for the answers, but for the reminder: you’ve been through worse, and you’re still here.

You don’t need a perfect plan to move forward. You need one step, the one you can take today.

In this episode, Chris and I go 1 Layer Deep into the real stuff: imposter syndrome, burnout, self-sabotage, and what it really means to stay aligned when life throws chaos your way. I’m sharing my honest truth about why I stepped out of coaching, how I reset after massive change, and what’s actually working for me right now.

If you’ve ever struggled with starting, staying consistent, or feeling like your “why” has to be perfect, this one’s for you. It’s raw, real, and the kind of conversation I wish more people were having.

Most entrepreneurs are showing up to game day… untrained, under-fueled, and exhausted.

Then they wonder why they can’t scale.

In this episode, I go deep into the mindset shift that changed everything for me:

I stopped treating every day like a grind. I started treating it like game day with rhythm, recovery, and actual preparation.

You’re not just a business owner.

You’re an athlete mentally, emotionally, and physically.

And if you’re not training, fueling, and recovering like one… you’re headed for burnout, not breakthrough.

This episode is for the founder who’s tired of white-knuckling success and ready to lead from clarity, energy, and alignment.

There are seasons where you have to step away, not to escape, but to realign.

In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to pause, unplug, and let go of control… and how to know if what you’ve built can actually run without you.

We don’t just talk about rest, we talk about reentry.

How to come back clearer.

How to come back changed.

And why I refuse to return to anything that requires me to shrink to survive it.

If you’ve been holding it all together out of fear, pressure, or guilt, this one’s for you.
