In My Non-Expert Opinion

One of my besties Shelly and I pick up RIGHT where we left off from last episode. We talk at 1.5x speed, giggle and kick our feet like 14 year olds at a boyband concert, say "like" 4013 times, and get even further into the series that's causing a cultural phenomenon. Some questions explored: SEE YOU AT THE COTTAGE BABES.

Folks... we’ve been indoctrinated. Heated Rivalry brainwashed us. As someone who is EXTREMELY contrarian (Aquarius Sun), hatesss hype, an absolute TV/movie SNOB, and is pretty suss of fandoms… I promise you, the hype is beyond worth it. It’s SO worth it, I had to debrief for nearly 3 hours with one of my besties, Shelly, to discuss what kind of glitch in the matrix is happening right now. What drugs were sprinkled in this script? What subliminal messaging did they use? WHAT IS GOING ON???!!! We’re happy. Glowing. More pep in our step. This show has absolutely altered our brain chemistry. DISCLAIMER: this is spoiler city. We discuss everything in the show. This is a 2 parter. Buckle up, sooo much more to come in Part 2!

I'm pulling back the curtain on my 2025 business insights... nosy bitches, this one's for you! I share the ultimate the plot twist: I made almost the exact same money as 2024, while taking a 3-month sabbatical, working essentially part-time, and living like an eccentric writer. I break down my Pitch Perfect launches (including a surprising feeling I had with my first $20K month), why I'm retiring from being "The Podcast Queen," and the creative possession that birthed SUPERNOVA — my new thinking lab for people who want to build intellectual frameworks that shape culture instead of learning more tactical skills. Plus: why I'm choosing restraint as my 2026 word, and why I'm actively exploring capped business models and circular economies instead of scaling into outer space. Themes from the episode: Making the same money while living exponentially betterFrom reactive hot takes to restrained discernmentWhy SUPERNOVA exists and why I refuse to be the podcast queen foreverDitching cold pitching for relational EVERYTHINGExploring capped income and circular economies because endless growth is a scamMy 2026 themes: CREATE. PLAY. PHILOSOPHIZE. EXPLORE. UNEARTH. ASK BIG QUESTIONS. SIMMER. PONDER. WONDER. THINK. What are yours?!

Grab your tissues and your matcha - we're doing a full 2025 emotional autopsy. Today I'm taking you through my personal year in review: space-cowgirl birthday parties, devastating loss, AI-induced mental glitches, and finally learning how to stop abandoning myself in relationships. This was one of the most plot twist-filled years I've ever had - like WTF happened?! Themes from the episode: The Cape Town summer that was pure lightning in a bottleSetting the container and having THE scary conversationWhen my friends passed in a rafting accident and grief rewired everythingThe AI creativity binge that nearly broke my brainMaturity as staying put instead of booking another escape flightMy 2025 was an invitation to stop performing identities that don't fit me anymore, start saying what I mean, befriending my demons, and contemplating my 200 year plan.

Put on your spacesuit - we're headed to the moon with this conversation. Today, I get INTO IT with Giana Cerasia about anti-binary leadership, rejecting niche culture, long-term inner work, and creating containers that hold the full complexity of being human. Giana walks listeners through her work all rooted in playing with paradox. Sexy as fuck. Themes from the episode: nervous systems, Ravish Kitchen Table SauceIf you crave leadership that honors your complexity, business that mirrors your humanity, and community spaces where nothing gets bypassed (bye 2020), this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

Today I sit down with digital nomad + "U.S. dropout" Bianca Lynch to talk about ditching the matrix, living abroad for less than half the cost of the U.S., finding flight deals that seem fake, and redefining what “freedom” really means. Bianca breaks down the hacks, mindset shifts, and lived experiences that help her cross borders without breaking the bank. Episode highlights: If you’ve ever dreamed of living abroad, fleeing the USA, or simply taking a trip without taking out a loan, this episode is for you. Bianca shows you how accessible global travel really is, and why the world is way more affordable, expansive, and welcoming than you’ve been led to believe.

Two Chelseas jump on a mic and proceed to dismantle everything you thought you knew about sales, pricing, and running a business under capitalism. Chelsea Quint (aka The Business Whisperer) joins me for a conversation about the stuff most business coaches won't touch: how to price yourself without losing your soul, why that $5/hour VA in the Philippines isn't the flex you think it is, and what the hell was going on in 2020 when every coach had a money gun and used predatory tactics to sell.

Maia Benaim is back for PART TWO on expanding your capacity - this time for deeper love, romance, traveling to new environments, how to cultivate patience, and so much more. She shares her journey with her partner and how committing to one person after polyamory required expanded capacity to hold her own depth, why we don't want partners who idolize us and why that's a hard switch to make, how she's house-hunting but in zero rush, and how to let life lead you vs. bulldozing your way through.

In the last year, I've been able to expand my capacity for wealth, visibility and holding more. How? Expanded capacity. Creative powerhouse, writer, business coach and head witch of Expansion mastermind Maia Benaim held the space for me to expand into new spaces I never thought possible, and today, we're breaking down exactly how to hold more without brute force. We have 2 part conversation, and today we get into money, energetics, and the art of letting GO. Together, we unpack what it REALLY means to release control, trust timing, and hold more. Themes from the episode: This one’s for the visionaries learning to loosen their grip.

In this episode, I dive deep into the cultural firestorm surrounding Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny — two modern day titans who've become lightning rods for conversations about identity, belonging, and makes me wonder all the things we project onto celebrities. I'll be honest: I outlined this episode about 40 different times because I kept realizing this isn't really about music quality or whether you're a "Swiftie" — it's about how these artists have become permission slips for different parts of our identity. As someone who's both a white woman and Puerto Rican, watching the discourse around Taylor's "Life of a Showgirl" album and Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl has activated something in me about representation, cultural space, and the uncomfortable idea around paradoxes and simultaneous truths. I'm not here with final answers (honestly, I'm suspicious of anyone who claims to have them), but I am here to explore why we become such fierce defenders of celebrities we've never met (including my own story of kneeling at the altar of wellness influencers for YEARS), what our reactions reveal about our own identities, and how multiple truths can exist simultaneously. This one's messy, it's vulnerable, and I'm genuinely inviting dialogue, so come find me in the DMs because I want to hear what this brings up for you!

PLOT TWIST EPISODE: You're listening to a full episode from Chelsea's limited series podcast: The Art of the Ask. Get ready to learn HOW TO ASK FOR MONEY! I'm breaking down why money is such an anxiety-inducing topic, and the different ways to ask for money, including asking for a raise, a family investment into your biz, a refund from an airline and more! PLUS, I spill the tea on the time I was in Australia and BROKE AF. I'm talking "living off a tax refund with maxed out credit cards and nannying for accommodation" broke.

Ever notice how we obsess over hitting these insane follower milestones, thinking that's when we'll finally feel legit? Chelsea's fed up with this narrative and breaks down why you don't need massive numbers to create something extraordinary. Just like you wouldn't throw a dinner party for 100 people and expect intimate conversations, your business thrives when you focus on nurturing smaller, engaged communities first. She shares why learning to hold space for 10 people beats chasing 100 every single time. Some rules of treating your biz like a dinner party: Chelsea shares how this exact approach made her latest Pitch Perfect launch feel effortless and fun, plus why treating your audience like dinner party guests (complete with themed vibes and personalized attention) beats the whole "pray I go viral and sell out my program" marketing approach.

Your favorite creator is BACK - PJ aka Poster Journal returns to spill the tea on why they nuked their entire YouTube channel (listen to Part 1 from last year for the lore), how they went from snark machine to reformed human who actually cares about kindness, and what it's like being creatively pregnant. We dive deep into sustainable creativity, the exhaustion of being perpetually anti-everything, and why your bare minimum might be your secret weapon. Plus: we find PJ's birth chart (he's a Projector!), discuss why I want to hire him as my life coach, and he presents the radical idea that being unserious is actually the highest form of spirituality.

Ever notice how your most profound realizations happen when you're completely out of your element? In this episode, Chelsea sits down with Edila Smith (in-person in Lisbon!) to explore why disrupting your environment might be the fastest way to disrupt unconscious patterns that are running your life. From the reality of working while traveling to building a business that feels like home, this conversation reveals why most of us are sleepwalking through carefully constructed routines without questioning if they actually serve us. Episode themes: This episode is for those who feel stuck in routines that no longer serve them, entrepreneurs tired of performing "professionalism," and anyone curious about using environment disruption as a tool for conscious living.

If you've ever bulldozed through your day on black coffee and determination, ignoring every signal your body sends until you're bent over crippling in a parking garage (literally, in Shantani's case) — this episode is your wake-up call. Chelsea chats with Body Intelligence Coach Shantani Moore about where we learned to ignore our body, why "fine" is the enemy of extraordinary, and how capitalism trained us to ask permission to pee (WTF). Episode themes: Body intelligence vs. wellness overwhelmThe utility principleEnvironment as everythingSleep as non-negotiableDecolonizing wellnessThe "so I can what?" frameworkFinal reminder: Your body wasn't made for other people to look at — it was made for you to live an extraordinary life. Shantani reminds us that listening to your body isn't luxury, it's leadership.

278: "I am only interested in becoming known for what is true because one day you're going to fucking slip. And I think that is the scariest thing is to paint an entire picture around the most acceptable version of yourself and then fall from that because it's a lie." - Xanthe Appleyard If you've ever thought you needed 100K followers to "matter" or felt guilty for working weekends while preaching about your “soft girl era”—this episode will rewire your entire approach to online business. Xanthe Appleyard gets incredibly honest about building a successful business on her own terms, from both a financial and energetic lens, ditching the "serious entrepreneur" mask (and why you can still be a silly goose while helping your people), and why leisure and pleasure are just as important as profit and revenue. She may have also single-handedly changed Chelsea’s notoriously anti-social media POV! Episode Themes This episode isn't about clocking 60 hour work weeks to see results or becoming more palatable—it's about getting so clear on your values that every business decision becomes glaringly obvious. Whether you're sending emails at 5AM or taking two-month sabbaticals, remember: there's no prize for following someone else's blueprint. Your business should energize you, not drain you. PERIOD.

277: "Even though I have these mindset blocks and these patterns I'm trying to break doesn't mean that I can't take time off. And I hope that you realize that too." - Chelsea Riffe In this solo episode, I spill the tea on how I planned to take 2 months off work during the summer, including how much I saved, business logistics, mental breakdowns and the weird feelings that creep up when you realize “wait, I’m not WORKING for 2 months?” Whether you’re dreaming of going off the grid for an extended period of time in an undisclosed location or balling out while border-hopping, this episode is a crash course in making it possible, without draining your life savings or ghosting your business. Episode themes: Even seasoned nomads and entrepreneurs stumble through imposter syndrome, logistical tripwires, and the urge to people-please... but with enough Notion docs, tangible support systems, and stubborn personal boundaries, a sabbatical doesn’t have to be a far-off fantasy. Listen in to demystify exactly how to rest, recalibrate, and maybe, just maybeeee, not produce your magnum opus while being Out of Office.
