There’s nothing like a provocative t-shirt to really make my day.

I used to have one that said “F*ck Yoga”. The reactions to it were epic. Most folks would look at it, look at me and laugh.

Every now and again someone would get utterly twisted up with me about it and I’d tell them two things:

1. It’s a fucking t-shirt.
2. The t-shirt originated from a YOGA BRAND that was based in New York.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating t-shirts that spew hate, racist nonsense or such, but the other day when I saw a fellow wearing a t-shirt that initially raised my hackles. And then it piqued my curiosity.

Wokeness Creates Weakness.

And you know what, it’s right.

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.
