Jared is back this week for this month’s coparenting series. We leave nothing off the table as we dive into the depths of the real truths of what led to the breakdown of our relationship and marriage. These are parts of myself and my story that I haven’t shared before. Words even Jared heard for the very first time. These are the parts of my past I once felt were too dark and shameful to say out loud. Through a lot of inner work, self reflection and compassion for the old versions of me, I am finally able to bring it all to the surface. I hope this conversation allows you to soften into some of the messy parts of your own story. And maybe even offers permission to share something on your heart that once felt too scary to say out loud. Thank you for following along this journey with us. I am so excited to share this episode with Jared Musser.

In this conversation, Taylor and I explore the shame many men carry around their sexuality, desires, and emotional world—and how that shame quietly shapes the way they show up in relationships and within themselves. We talk about where this shame comes from, why so many men suppress parts of who they are, and what becomes possible when they finally begin to face those parts with honesty instead of judgment. I hope this conversation offers a perspective that challenges assumptions and maybe helps you see yourself—or someone you love—a little differently.
Sigrid Tasies and I sat down in Austin to talk about the armor we learn to wear as women, the versions of ourselves we keep performing, and what happens when we can’t keep doing it anymore.
In this episode, Taylor and I sit down for an unfiltered Q&A exploring the questions we get asked most often. We talk about desire, fear, relationships, self-trust, regret, and the choices that change the course of our lives. From why men are afraid of their desires to what it actually costs to choose yourself, we share our own experiences, perspectives, and the lessons we've learned along the way.
Why does it feel like men and women are speaking completely different languages in relationships?
Emily and I first met 20 years ago when she began dating a childhood friend of mine. Since then, it feels like many lifetimes have passed—filled with change, growth, and profound transition—as she navigated life after her husband (and my childhood friend) passed.
