The School of Moxie Podcast

Behind the Scenes of Season 2, What’s Brewing at Moxie Studios, and a Look Ahead at Season 3

This episode is for the people who stuck around. The ones who know that real creativity doesn’t run on launch calendars. It runs on healing. In this bonus episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really happened between Season 1 and Season 2—everything from storm damage, caregiving, grief, and chronic health recovery to the soul-stretching journey of building Moxie Studios in Vancouver. I talk about why I had to delay Season 2, what I’ve learned about legacy in the slow moments, and what’s coming next for The School of Moxie Podcast (spoiler: Season 3 is back to guest interviews, pop culture, and big energy inside the new studio). 👀 Want updates about Season 3, live recordings, and behind-the-scenes content?

Ted Lasso is a Business Story: Slow, Sustainable, and Unshakeable

Episode 10: “The Long Game Is the Only Game” This episode is a sermon. A love letter. A late-night call to every entrepreneur who’s tired of shortcut culture and ready to lead with integrity. We’re closing out Season 2 with a deep dive into long-game leadership. From Trent Crimm’s legacy journalism to Coach Beard staying in England, to the spark of Rebecca’s women’s franchise—we’re talking about the ripple effect of doing the right thing, even when it’s slow, scary, or wildly misunderstood. And yeah, I’ve made those long-game moves in my own business. They’ve been messy. Uncomfortable. But they’re the reason I’m still here... and thriving. If you’re ready to quit chasing fast and start building something that lasts, this one’s for you. 👀 Want more clarity like this every week?  Subscribe to my weekly media digest at sensiblewoo.com/subscribe [https://sensiblewoo.com/subscribe] for behind-the-scenes insights, readings, and updates you won’t get anywhere else.

Ted Lasso is a Business Story: Vulnerability ≠ Strategy

Episode 9: “Your Brand Can’t Hold Your Baggage” There’s a difference between telling your story with intention—and bleeding all over your audience for engagement. In Episode 9, we unpack the misuse of vulnerability in online entrepreneurship and why your healing deserves more than a Canva carousel. With help from Ted Lasso characters like Jamie Tartt, Rebecca, and Dr. Sharon Fieldstone, we explore what real emotional integration looks like—on and off the mic. I also get personal about the Depp/Heard trial, a raw moment in my visibility journey, and how a Season 1 episode with Eunice Brownlee gave me a doorway into storytelling that was actually ready to be shared. 👀 Want more clarity like this every week?  Subscribe to my weekly media digest at sensiblewoo.com/subscribe [https://sensiblewoo.com/subscribe] for behind-the-scenes insights, readings, and updates you won’t get anywhere else.

Ted Lasso is a Business Story: Real Rest Requires Real Alignment

Rest doesn’t always look like slowing down. Sometimes it looks like dancing all night, playing weird games, or skipping town with your dominatrix girlfriend. In this episode, we explore rest on your own terms through the lens of Coach Beard in Ted Lasso. Beard doesn’t try to be anyone else. He knows what recharges him—and he doesn’t apologize for it. I’m breaking down why so many entrepreneurs burn out even when they’re technically resting, and why copying someone else’s version of “wellness” won’t save you. If you’re ready to stop glamorizing burnout and start finding joy in ways that actually work for you, this one’s for you. 👀 Want more clarity like this every week?  Subscribe to my weekly media digest at sensiblewoo.com/subscribe [https://sensiblewoo.com/subscribe] for behind-the-scenes insights, readings, and updates you won’t get anywhere else.

Ted Lasso is a Business Story: Not All Criticism Is Feedback

Welcome to the episode where we separate useful reflection from noise. In Ted Lasso, the fans at the pub act like a character unto themselves—cheering, jeering, and always watching. And just like in business, not all of that input is helpful. This week we’re looking at the Richmond fanbase as a metaphor for your online audience: the pressure to please, the vulnerability of being seen, and the deep need to discern who’s offering real feedback… and who’s just projecting their own shit. We also unpack Rebecca’s experience with personal criticism that masquerades as professional commentary, and how emotional intelligence becomes the best business strategy around. 👀 Want more clarity like this every week?  Subscribe to my weekly media digest at sensiblewoo.com/subscribe [https://sensiblewoo.com/subscribe] for behind-the-scenes insights, readings, and updates you won’t get anywhere else.
