In this episode, we unpack the assumptions, the history, the marketing machine behind the myth of being a genius.

Does being brilliant give you a free pass to be an a-hole? Should success in one area automatically make someone untouchable in all others? We’ve been sold a very narrow definition of genius—usually male, usually white, usually arrogant—and it's time we ask harder questions about who gets labeled brilliant, who doesn’t, and what we’re really celebrating when we throw that word around.

Joining us to dissect all of this is Helen Lewis [https://substack.com/@helenlewis?utm_source=top-search]—staff writer at The Atlantic, host of Helen Lewis Has Left the Chat and The New Gurus, and author of The Genius Myth: A Curious History of a Dangerous Idea [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/803542/the-genius-myth-by-helen-lewis/]. Together, we’re challenging the idea that genius must look like isolation, ego, or cruelty—and exploring what it could look like instead: collaboration, curiosity, and collective brilliance.

Because genius shouldn’t be a party favor handed out with a TED Talk and a net worth. It’s time we redefine what brilliance really means—and who gets to own it. And maybe it’s time we stop obsessing over the genius and start recognizing the value in the collective brilliance all around us.

How to Turn Job Seeking into Job Shopping with Madeline Mann | 318

Let’s talk about adulting—actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let’s be honest, most of us weren’t taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows.

Joining us is Michelle Chalfant, licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® [https://theadultchair.com/]model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life [https://theadultchair.com/book]. With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she’s here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult.

Here’s the truth: being an adult isn’t about checking boxes or pretending you’re fine. It’s about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It’s about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they’re clues.

None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it’s never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be.

Whether you’re starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

Grown-Up Goals: The 5 Pillars Of Being A Healthy Adult with Michelle Chalfant | 317

Let’s face it—rejection sucks. Whether it’s a gut-punch text, a polite but painful “no,” or the opportunity you swore was yours slipping through your fingers—it all sucks. But if you’re putting yourself out there (pitching, applying, risking anything at all), rejection isn’t a bug in the system. It is the system.

Enter: Alice Draper [https://hustlingwriters.com/]. She’s the host of the My Rejection Story podcast, founder of Hustling Writers [https://hustlingwriters.com/], and a woman who knows how to turn every “no” into a bigger, better “hell yes.” Her work makes podcast guesting and publicity accessible for anyone brave enough to try—and yes, that includes you.

In this episode, we’re talking about flipping the rejection script. We explore the concept of “rejection goals” (like actually tracking your no’s), the power of micro-rejections, why a rejection community might be your secret weapon, and how embracing rejection can build the kind of confidence that doesn’t crumble the minute someone doesn’t like your pitch, post, or personality.

Alice doesn’t do fluff, fake positivity, or waking up early (same, friend), but she does deliver actionable, unfiltered insights for anyone ready to stop fearing rejection and start using it.

So grab your strongest coffee and join us—because if we’re gonna get rejected, we might as well make it worth it.

Your Body Already Knows with Nidhi Pandya | 315

Let’s be honest: when it comes to pelvic floor health, most of us have been fed a steady diet of silence, shame, and “just deal with it.” But that ends today.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Sara Reardon, aka The Vagina Whisperer [https://thevagwhisperer.com/] (yes, really), a board-certified pelvic floor physical therapist, TED speaker, and author of FLOORED: A Complete Guide to Women’s Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage [https://www.harpercollins.com/products/floored-sara-reardon?variant=43118704427042]. With nearly 20 years of experience, Sara is here to deliver straight talk and science-backed wisdom about what’s actually going on down there.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is common—but it’s not normal. From postpartum issues to painful sex, pee leaks to prolapse, this is your permission slip to stop suffering in silence and start getting the care you deserve. No more brushing it off. No more white-knuckling your way through it. Just informed, empowered choices about your health and your body.

In This Episode, We Cover: ✅ What your pelvic floor actually is and why it matters ✅ Signs it’s not functioning properly (and that you shouldn’t ignore) ✅ How to advocate for yourself in a healthcare system that often overlooks women ✅ Why pain, leakage, and shame are NOT normal parts of womanhood

This isn’t just a health issue—it’s a confidence, autonomy, and quality of life issue. Understanding your body is woman’s work. Taking care of it unapologetically? Also woman’s work.
