Podcast Overview

Ready to awaken your inner dragon? Here Be Dragons is the podcast from Dragonhood where we explore the whole map of who we are — even the uncharted territory. Through candid conversations with Dragonhood team members and special guests, we dive into career empowerment, leadership, identity, workplace culture, and what it means to grow as a whole human being. This is a space for anyone navigating change, seeking clarity, building confidence, or learning how to take up more space in their work and life. We talk about the messy middle of becoming: the career pivots, the confidence wobbles, the cultural expectations, the leadership lessons, the boundaries, the breakthroughs, and the small moments that help us reconnect with our authentic power. Rooted in curiosity, connection, and growth, Here Be Dragons invites you to rethink what success looks like, challenge the stories that keep you small, and explore new ways to lead, work, and live with more intention.

Storm Mode: Knowing When To Stand Down

<p>What if the storm has already passed — but you’re still bracing for it?</p><p>In this episode, Rachel and Clair explore what they call <strong>“storm mode”</strong> — that state of heightened awareness where we’re scanning, preparing, anticipating, and holding everything together. It’s an intelligent, necessary response to uncertainty and change… but one that isn’t meant to last forever.</p><p>Together, they unpack what storm mode looks like in our thoughts, bodies, and behaviors, why it can quietly become our baseline, and how to recognize when it’s time to stand down. From the subtle cost of prolonged vigilance to the practice of recalibrating your energy, this conversation offers a more sustainable way to care without carrying everything at full intensity.</p><p>Whether you’re navigating personal stress, leadership demands, or the constant hum of the world around you, this episode is an invitation to soften your stance, release the brace, and return to steadier ground.</p><p><strong>Action Item: </strong></p><p>What would it look like to care deeply without staying in constant vigilance?</p><p><strong>Keep Soaring with Additional Resources:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/118278/9780143127741" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Body Keeps the Score</a> by Bessel van der Kolk</li><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/118278/9781984818324" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle</a> by Emily &amp; Amelia Nagoski</li><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/118278/9781250849359" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mere Mortals</a> by Oliver Burkeman</li><li>Sign up for Dragonhood Coaching or any of our other services! <a href="https://www.dragonhood.world/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dragonhood.world</a></li></ul><br/><p><strong>Listener Call</strong></p><p>We’d love to hear your reflections: askthedragons@dragonhood.world</p><p>#HereBeDragons</p>

Make Room: The Practice of Letting Go

<p><strong>What if letting go isn’t about loss but about making room?</strong></p><p>In this episode, Rachel and Clair explore the quiet, often complicated practice of release: not just letting go of what’s broken or obviously misaligned, but of what is still good, still useful, and still meaningful, yet no longer true for who we are in this season.</p><p>Together, they unpack the tension between usefulness and alignment, the role of gratitude in releasing without rejection, and the unexpected clarity that space can create. From physical belongings to emotional patterns, identities, and expectations, this conversation invites a more compassionate way of letting go — one that honors what has been while creating room for what’s next.</p><p>Whether you’re clearing a closet, shifting a role, or rethinking a version of yourself, this episode offers a gentle reminder:</p><p>Making room isn’t about having less. It’s about creating space for what matters now.</p><p><strong>Action Items: </strong></p><ul><li>What’s something in your life that still makes sense on paper, but doesn’t feel true anymore?</li><li>What would it look like to thank something — and then let it go?</li><li>Where have you created space and noticed something new emerge?</li><li>What are you holding onto that isn’t a thing — but is still taking up space?</li></ul><br/><p><strong>Keep Soaring with Additional Resources:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/118278/9780804137409" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Essentialism</a> by Greg McKeown</li><li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/118278/9781607747307" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up</a> by Marie Kondo</li><li>Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman</li><li>Dragonhood paid memberships have access to the <a href="https://www.dragonhood.world/founder-message-library" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Founder Message Library</a>, a compilation of A Time of Dragons (reflections on releasing “shoulds”)</li><li>Sign up for Dragonhood Coaching or any of our other services! <a href="https://www.dragonhood.world/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dragonhood.world</a></li></ul><br/>
