I'm back for a solo episode! It's safe to say I'm an "era" girly – meaning I obsessively ride the trains and waves of "phases." I do a mini-dive into my past phases and the current wave I'm riding now *coughcoughsoccermom* I dive right into the episode with a recent story that made me realize I'm getting old AF. I share my own personal journey as "an athlete," and how I'm feeling right now in my current state of fitness/health/wellness. I share more about my opinion on goal-setting, the fitness process, and the key to motivation (spoiler alert, there isn't one). I talk about my favorite visualization method I've been using since watching the Anrold documentary. Join 1k others in my weekly unhinged newsletter where I get honest about entrepreneurship.Click here to learn more about the Ironically Serious podcastClick here to submit a guest or topic for the podcastFollow the podcast on Instagram @ironicallyseriouspodStay connected with me @taytorres Follow my business @chanelandleeClick here to submit your SOS to be featured on an episodeClick here to leave me a voicemail

Que My Identity Crisis

Que My Identity Crisis

2023-08-0433:00

Back for a mini-solo episode where I quite frankly admit to the near-30 identity crisis I'm currently going through. But first, a lovely story about my pat down and uncomfortable feel-up at the LAX airport this week and my newest addiction to first-class seats. I get real and honest about where I'm at in entrepreneurship (spoiler: I have no idea). I share how I've recently felt a little lost at what I want to do with my future and finally admit out loud what I've been feeling for the past few months. In the same mindset, I share how it's ok to not have all the answers and most importantly, it's ok to admit you're in this same place too.Join 1k others in my weekly unhinged newsletter where I get honest about entrepreneurship.Learn more about the Ironically Serious podcast at www.ironicallyserious.comSubmit a guest or topic for the podcast here.Follow the podcast on Instagram @ironicallyseriouspodStay connected with Taylor @taytorres @chanelandleeSubmit your SOS to be featured on an episode here.Leave Taylor a voicemail here.
Bringing back a solo eppy from the archives... I recorded this a few months ago in May when we were thick in the middle of moving and all the normal life shit we all have to deal with. I wanted to share it now because the words are still true for me now more than ever. I get honest about health, self-sabotage, and facing resistance in your life. I open up about my own daily struggles with anxiety and stress and what I've learned to combat it. The real answer? We honestly just need some damn rest. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burnt out, or just fucking tired of your daily responsibilities, this pep talk will give you the space you need to take a breath, prioritize yourself, and build your life how you desire it.

Gone for two months, but I’m back like I never left!!! Thank you for your unwavering support as I got clarity around the podcast and where I want to go before I had a complete menty b. In this solo episode (in my truest raw format), I’m sharing where I’ve been these past 2 months – the highs (like living on a farm for 4 days in Illinois) and the lows (like Avis car rental endangering my child). But on a serious note, I share 3 things I’ve learned this summer to help me get past overwhelm, creative ruts, and burnout. The last 10 minutes is a spitfire of encouragement for the mom/ entrepreneur/ creative/ hustler who needs a big sis pep talk to get them through July.

The announcement no one asked for; we’re moving! And no it’s not to a new city — it’s literally 5-minutes down the street. However, this life change feels monumental and I share why in this life update solo episode. I go full autobiography mode and take you down memory lane to share how pivotal this moment is for me/ my family; where it all started from the strip club to the suburbs. I share how self-awareness and visualization have been crucial for me in making my dreams happen. And of course I wouldn’t leave you without a story from the strip club archives of the time I got raided by the undercover SWAT team.Learn more about the Ironically Serious podcast at www.ironicallyserious.comSubmit a guest or topic for the podcast here.Follow the podcast on Instagram @ironicallyseriouspodStay connected with Taylor @taytorresSubmit your SOS to be featured on an episode here.Leave Taylor a voicemail here.

Get ready for one of the most powerful and honest episodes of Ironically Serious. I'm joined today by Grace Blacksea, a leader, mother, entrepreneur, and founder of The Quench Collective–a community for like-minded leaders who believe in doing business differently. Grace brings an unfiltered conversation around healing, postpartum experiences, and the transformation motherhood brings. We kick off our conversation by reflecting on our shared experience of childhood loss and how that early trauma shaped our identities into adulthood. We dive into pregnancy, birth, and postpartum and compare how trauma/anxieties played a part in our unique experiences. Grace opens up about her own struggles with PPD and how she managed to come out on the other side. Lastly, Grace shares encouragement for the woman who wants to live differently, take up more space, and discover herself fully.
