From Then to Now: Our Entrepreneur Origin Stories and the Self-Care We’ve Learned Along the Way

Let’s Talk About It (Even When It’s Uncomfortable) w/ the Pod Squad

Today’s conversation is about communication... Not just what we say, but what actually lands. We talk about how tone, body language, silence, and assumptions all shape meaning in ways we don’t always realize. What we meant isn’t always what gets received… and what we hear isn’t always what was actually said. In this episode, the Pod Squad has a real conversation about communication styles, using DiSC as a lens to understand why we show up so differently in relationships, leadership, and client work. We also get honest about how quickly we can make assumptions and what changes when we don’t. Conflict comes up too, because it has to. But instead of something to avoid, we explore it as a signal that something just isn’t landing the same way on both sides. The thing we hope everyone takes away from this episode is that communication isn’t just about speaking clearly, it’s about being willing to listen differently.
