Listen "We Are Okay"
Episode Synopsis
After taking off the month of October intention was to come back the first Wednesday in November.
That day was the day after the 2024 Election.
I recorded this before election day, and fully intended to post it for Nov 6.
The day came and it was clear there was way too much noise and too much raw emotion for this to have any hope of landing.
So ... I waited a week.
As usual - I’m NOT TALKING ABOUT POLITICS IN THIS PODCAST. I am talking about taking a deep, collective f*cking breath and remembering the TRUTH.
WE ARE GOING TO BE OKAY.
But not if we spend our times saturating in disaster, talking about hate and pointing fingers OR mocking, gloating and steeping in ego and arrogance.
THESE are the time for big work. Deep work. Hard work.
That work begins now.
In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity.
Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It’s about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it’s unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed.
This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.
