About Ironically Serious

Ironically Serious offers an unfiltered take on up-leveling life in business, relationships, motherhood, friendships, health/wellness, and self-care. After a dramatic life pivot, Taylor Hedden pulverized society's expectations and started a podcast to document it along the way. Throwing a cold glass of water into the face of hardship, Taylor put a modern twist on confidence and what it means to have earned it. In the spirit of resilience, we relish in personal empowerment and the hard shit that makes us who we are. We're here for the relevant, raw conversations that promote transformation while at your lowest and showing shame the door. Let your hair down and lean in—all are welcome here.

We’re talking full-blown panic attack on the freeway, mom guilt that sucker-punched me, and how I navigated it all while driving to speak at a business conference. I also share what eight months of jiu-jitsu have taught me (besides how to choke someone out in public for lying ab...

   Marriage, Money, and the Messy Middle ft. Brandee Gaar

   #82: Brandee Gaar breaks down how she built a leading Orlando planning firm, survived the COVID zero-events era, and accidentally launched Wedding Pro CEO via daily 10-minute lives and a Clubhouse “morning show.” We talk about the years that looked “successful” but paid nothing, the summers that almost sunk them, her husband quitting (twice going back to serve to keep lights on), and why their standing Friday money/ops meeting is non-negotiable. We also hit mom guilt, kids who truly don’t rem...
