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.

Big Therapy Energy ft. Ally Hoffman
#74: This episode might as well come with a co-pay.
I’m joined by the incredible Ally Hoffman—licensed therapist, founder of Safe Space Healing Collective, and the type of human who lives and breathes what she teaches. With a background that spans music industry chaos, PR, and a full-circle moment into the therapy chair (as both client and practitioner), Ally brings a no-BS approach to healing that’s grounded, real, and refreshingly relatable.
We go deep on what it actually means to do “the work”—from childhood wounds and boundary-setting to that weird guilt of needing help when life looks “fine.” Ally shares her tools, her story, and her very honest takes on everything from emotional regulation to wedding planning.
Inside the episode:
– What therapy should feel like (and what it definitely shouldn’t)
– The difference between coping and grounding
– Getting over the “I’m fine” mindset and learning to ask for support
– How to communicate needs without sounding like a TED Talk
– Parenting, presence, and holding space for your inner child
– Why helping professionals need better boundaries (and a life offline)
And yes—this one feels a little like free therapy... but way more fun.
