Turning Chaos Into Calm: Crisis PR Secrets with Tieja MacLaughlin
EClick here to watch the video. Welcome back to The Art of Badassery, where we don’t do small talk—we do soul talk. Today, I’m diving into the fire with Tieja MacLaughlin, Toronto’s go-to crisis PR queen—the woman corporations call when shit hits the fan and headlines start flying. Raised in a small town, Tieja didn’t even know this world existed, but now she’s the calm in the chaos, the strategist behind the screen, turning reputational disasters into redemption arcs. We’re pulling back the curtain on what crisis PR really looks like—spoiler: it ain’t just suits and spin.

We get into gut instincts, standing your sacred ground, and how personal evolution mirrors the rise of your business. Oh—and we go there: social media landmines, AI’s role in reputation repair, and the sacred art of staying true to yourself when the world wants you to fake it.

#58 The Grief Gap — Mourning the Self You Had to Abandon
EThe Grief Gap isn’t just about loss — it’s about the sacred space between who you were and who you’re becoming. In this raw, soul-stirring episode of Mindfucks With Mahara, we dive deep into the hidden grief that comes with personal transformation — the mourning of the self you had to abandon just to survive.

If you’ve ever felt “off” in your healing journey — not broken, but… in-between — this episode will name it, normalize it, and give you the tools to walk through it without shame.

#57 Fear Isn't a Red Light - It's a Rehearsal
EIf you’ve been waiting to feel fearless before taking the leap, this episode is your spiritual smackdown. Mahara unpacks the biggest mindfuck keeping powerful women stuck: the belief that fear means stop. From years spent entertaining on stage (and panicking backstage) to recurring dreams of being scriptless in the spotlight, she shares how fear has never been the enemy — it’s been the warm-up. You’ll learn the difference between protective fear and purposeful fear, how to stop misinterpreting nervous system activation as danger, and why your trembling is often your truth trying to break through. This isn’t about becoming fearless — it’s about becoming fluent in fear’s language. If you’re tired of letting fear call the shots and ready to rewrite your relationship with discomfort, hit play. Because fear doesn’t mean you’re not ready — it means the curtain’s about to rise.

Mahara Wayman’s Trinity Transformation—Healing, Growth, and Mastering the Inner Critic
EWelcome back to The Art of Badassery! In this episode, host Mahara Wayman dives deep into a part of ourselves that often flies under the radar but wields tremendous power: the inner critic. Building on her “Trinity Within” solo series, Mahara explores the subtle, strategic, and sometimes sneaky ways our inner critic shapes our self-belief, holds us back, and tries to keep us “safe”—even at the cost of our personal growth. Through honest storytelling and reflective prompts, Mahara reveals how this internal voice isn’t here to sabotage us, but is rooted in old wounds, societal conditioning, and a fierce (if misguided) desire to protect us from pain. Instead of ignoring or villainizing the inner critic, she encourages us to get curious: where did this voice come from, whose voice might it echo, and what does it really need? Tune in to learn how to recognize, challenge, and ultimately transform your relationship with your inner critic—so you can reclaim your narrative, amplify your true voice, and live life unapologetically on your terms. Plus, get a sneak peek into Mahara’s Trinity Transformation Mini Mastermind, designed to help you integrate every part of yourself—including your inner critic—for a fuller, more badass life.

#105 The Power of Change: Aurora’s Road to Badassery and Social Impact
Click here to watch the video. Hey everyone! I'm so excited to share this week's episode of The Art of Badassery with you. I just sat down with the absolutely incredible Aurora Dawn Benton, and wow - I felt like I was talking to my soul sister! Aurora's story hit me hard on so many levels. While she grew up in a conservative Southern town and I was raised on a small Caribbean island, we both knew what it was like to feel different and navigate tight-knit communities with strong expectations. I couldn't stop nodding as she described embracing her uniqueness instead of trying to conform. We connected instantly over our shared experiences of choosing authenticity over approval. Her background in IT, entrepreneurship, and sustainability mirrors my own professional journey in so many ways. When she talked about returning to her roots after thirty years away, I got chills - I've been on a similar path of reconciling my past with my present. What really blew me away was how deeply we vibed on the importance of living life completely on your own terms. We both got emotional discussing the courage it takes to break through societal expectations and the inner strength needed to stay true to yourself. This conversation wasn't just an interview - it was two badasses sharing hard-earned wisdom, laughing through the tough stuff, and lifting each other up. You'll hear strategies that have worked for both of us in unleashing our inner badasses, and I know they'll resonate with you too.
