Ironically Serious
Ironically Serious offers an unfiltered take on up-leveling life in business, relationships, motherhood, friendships, health/wellness, and self-care. After a dramatic life pivot, Taylor Hedden pulverized society's expectations and started a podcast to document it along the way. Throwing a cold glass of water into the face of hardship, Taylor put a modern twist on confidence and what it means to have earned it. In the spirit of resilience, we relish in personal empowerment and the hard shit that makes us who we are. We're here for the relevant, raw conversations that promote transformation while at your lowest and showing shame the door. Let your hair down and lean in—all are welcome here.

If It’s Not a F*ck Yes, It’s a No
#60: So here’s the deal—I took a 17-day hiatus thinking it would be no big deal, but plot twist: it changed everything. In this episode, I’m getting real about shiny distractions (hi, Pilates studio co-ownership), saying no to things that aren’t aligned, and why your business shouldn’t fall apart just because you step away. Spoiler: if it does, you’re doing it wrong.
Remember when I said 2024 was the year of life over deadlines? Yeah, it also taught me that we don’t need to reinvent the wheel every damn year. I’m sharing why refining what you’re already doing (even if it’s boring AF) is the real key to long-term success. Plus, let’s talk about those shiny opportunities we say yes to when we know they’re just a distraction—and how to get clear as hell on what you actually want to build.
Oh, and my half marathon? Iconic. Not because I’m a runner now, but because committing to hard things builds confidence like nothing else. If you’ve been overcomplicating your goals, avoiding the unsexy work, or saying yes when you should be saying “f*ck no,” this episode is for you.
