Show Notes
Taylor asked me to call this episode Baby Mama, Baby Daddy. Of course I resisted and told him it had to be something about fatherhood and finding your purpose. Buttttt, I’ll admit it. He was right. Baby Mama, Baby Daddy is way more fun. And that’s exactly what this conversation was. We laughed, a lot. Taylor said a few things I was not expecting. Like his obsession with crystals, the crates of amethyst at his house, and a recent conversation with his real life baby mama that will keep you on your toes. We riff about all the important life topics: Psychedelics Conversations with our future children Giving birth (taylor’s jealousy that men don’t get to have that peak life experience) And, the reasons why we both don't like the traditional school system Plus, a whole lot more. I should also mention, Taylor has done some pretty cool things. He’s an entrepreneur, activist, speaker. His first social enterprise, Change Heroes, mobilized people in 80 countries to fund and build 400 schools, water projects, and libraries for 200,000 people around the world. His resume is pretty special. But even above all that, being a dad is what he’s connected to most. Highly recommend finding this man on social media. He has a great blend of comedy, inspiration, and real life value. I’m really excited to share this podcast with Taylor Conroy. Connect with Taylor: Instagram: @tayloraconroy Tiktok: @taylor_money_

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.
