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.

You Don’t Need Brand Photos—You Need Balls
#69: In this solo episode of Ironically Serious, I show up with a black eye, a pile of business hot takes, and absolutely zero apologies. (If you’re watching the video version—yes, I really did record this with a full-on face bruise.)
I’m diving into how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has totally shifted my mindset—physically, mentally, and emotionally—and how it’s made me show up differently in my business (and life). Spoiler: discovering your inner grit is cheaper than another branding course.
Then we’re getting into it with some spicy business myths I think need to die:
→ You need a website to launch? False.
→ Brand photos are mandatory? Meh.
→ You should always be scaling? Let’s talk about it.
→ Wait until you’re profitable to invest? Bye.
→ Hire a coach before you even know what you want? Hard pass.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re playing business dress-up just to be taken seriously—this one’s for you. Tune in, take notes, and maybe question everything you’ve been told.
