    When Your Light Feels Like Too Much: Shrinking in Relationships, Self-Sabotage, Choosing vs. Attracting and More Unthinkable Thoughts with Africa Brooke

    267: ā€œIt all has to be in alignment. I have to be living very honestly in order to do my most honest work. And honesty is a fundamental requirement for the work that I do. I find that if I'm not living honestly, and it doesn't have to be a hundred percent, if I'm not living honestly in ways that are actually very important, I actually can't show up for my work in the way that I need to.ā€ ~ Africa Brooke

    This soul-baring conversation between Chelsea and Africa dives deep into self-censorship, shadow work, heartbreak, and the raw journey of sobriety. Together, they explore how our patterns in love and life reveal the unhealed parts of ourselves - the ones we try to tame, cage up, and discard. Yet the truth is: owning and integrating these parts and reclaiming our voice is a revolutionary act. Listen closely.

    Africa Brooke is a Zimbabwean-born consultant, developmental coach, speaker, and author of "The Third Perspective: Brave Expression in The Age of Intolerance." She is known for her work in overcoming self-sabotage and self-censorship. As the founder and CEO of Africa Brooke International, she provides consulting and coaching to a global audience. She hosts two personal development podcasts, ā€œBeyond the Selfā€ and ā€œUnthinkable Thoughts,ā€ and is a frequent guest on TV, podcasts, and radio. Her insights have been featured in publications like The Guardian, and she has delivered keynotes at venues like Cambridge University.

    • ā€œWhat happens when we believe that there's a higher cost to telling the truth than to pretending?ā€
    • ā€œI decided to suffer out loud, and that was going against so many rules... I was just speaking into the void.ā€
    • ā€œI would choose people that I perceive to be lesser than me in some way, so that I get to be the superior one in the relationship... but itā€™s me theyā€™re showing me.ā€
    • ā€œInstead of chasing the new self-concept of ā€˜Iā€™m a good person,ā€™ I had to accept all the shadowy components of myself and humanize myself.ā€
    • ā€œBe okay with talking about your interests... because thatā€™s what makes it erotic. Thatā€™s what creates magnetism.ā€

    This episode is a masterclass in emotional honesty, self-responsibility, and embracing the full spectrum of who we are. Chelsea and Africa remind us that the path to empowered relationships and aligned work begins with radical truth-telling - to ourselves first.

    How to Gamify Your Life, Never Dread Work Again, and Experiment with Identity - Part 2 with Klara Hascakova, Systems Designer for Creative Geniuses

    266: ā€œI used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realizedā€”I donā€™t have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.ā€ - Klara Hascakova

    In this episode, Chelsea and Klara Hascakova explore the concept of "Antichrist Consciousness" (eek! provoking, but listen to the ep for an explanataion) and how collective thought patterns shape personal identity. Are we all really one? They discuss the impact of societal conditioning, the power of gamifying daily life, and why thinking about work and discipline differently can lead to a more fulfilling and energized, zesty existence.

    • ā€œItā€™s a collection of various collective consciousnesses that one individual is tapping into at any given moment.ā€
    • ā€œI used to have a very toxic relationship with work. Then I realizedā€”I donā€™t have to work. Who said I have to work? I choose to play instead.ā€
    • "The more energy you have, the more you can create your own reality. When you're drained, you default to following other peopleā€™s rules. But when you have energy, you feel bold enough to make things up as you go.ā€
    • ā€œI choose to have a playful attitude and Iā€™m gamifying all my tasks so life feels fun and exciting, even when I do daily life stuff.ā€
    • ā€œIf you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. One man I know outsourced everything, and his business started crumbling because he was too disconnected."
    • ā€œWe donā€™t have to change the current systems. Itā€™s more constructive to design your own system within them, one that works for you and keeps you energized.ā€


    This episode is an invitation to rethink the way we navigate work, identity, and play. You donā€™t have to work 9-5, grind your way to the top, or do anything the way other people say to. Whether it's shifting your mindset, questioning outdated societal narratives, or gamifying your daily tasks like a game of Mario Kart, KlĆ”ra and Chelsea encourage listeners to scuba dive into self-inquiry and personal experimentation to create a life that feels truly aligned.

    Everything Is Made Up ā€” So Why Not Make Up Your Own Life? with Klara Hascakova, Systems Designer for Creative Geniuses

    265: "I came to a point of realization that everything here is made up. And why I couldn't be just another human being that is going to make something up? I have this audacity within me...I'm very courageous. I love to experiment and see if it's gonna work out. And so far, so good. I feel very supported in these bold choices." 


    Klara Hascakova is a systems designer for geniuses, innovator, Name Patterns expert, and 5/1 Oxford-educated Reflector helping people gamify their lives, play with consciousness and operate outside of traditional conditioning.


    In this episode, Chelsea and Klara dive into the power of name patterns, why identity is more flexible than we think, how to gamify everything in life, and how designing personal systems can put you in an energetic surplus.


    Klara shares how changing her name for four years reshaped her self-perception, why she believes everything in life is made up, and how embracing bold experimentation can lead to radical freedom. Talk about AUDACITY!


    Snippets from the episode:

    • "Identity is a flexible thing. We have way more control over it than we think."
    • "If you outsource too much, you can lose touch with reality. "
    • "The dominant systems we operate in were not designed for women's bodies. We need to learn how to move within them in a way that actually supports us."
    • "I design my own systemsā€”from the way I eat to the way I run my businessā€”so they energize me instead of draining me."
    • "I literally made it up. Everything here is made up. So why couldnā€™t I be just another human being who makes something up?"

    Why Are Men So Triggered by Astrology? with Jaz Borri

    264: "ā€œYou believe in that shit?!ā€ my date blurted out, eyebrows furrowing in disbelief. The cat was out of the bag: I was one of THOSE girls."


    LADIES - why the hell are men so triggered by astrology???


    I enlisted the help of on an astrologer who married a scientist to help me answer this question: Jaz Borri.


    Pssst - having these conversations is exactly how you take down the patriarchy... one witchy yap sesh at a time ;)

    Sober Curious? How to Stop Drinking Without Being a Buzzkill with Nisha Patel

    263: "You can make a choice and still want to do the other thing. Itā€™s not going to be like, 'Oh, it's all gone. The desire is gone.' I think thatā€™s also a misconception because I made this choice, that means Iā€™m all okay with it. Well, no, there are still parts of it that were fun, even though the majority of it was not fine. Letā€™s be honest here." ā€” Nisha Patel


    In this episode, Chelsea sits down with transformative Sobriety Coach and Licensed Counselor Nisha Patel to discuss the complexities of sobriety, especially in a booze-heavy culture where drinking is deeply ingrained in socializing, dating, and celebrating. They tackle everything from the emotional and psychological rollercoasters going sober puts you on, dodging relentless peer pressure, retooling relationships, and proving that you can have a blast without ever reaching for a drink.


    Snippets from the episode:

    • If youā€™re in a business dinner or a social event, you donā€™t have to announce your sobriety to the world. You can just say, ā€˜Iā€™m on a health kick,ā€™ or ā€˜I donā€™t feel like drinking tonight.ā€™ You donā€™t owe anyone an explanation.
    • If someone is really pushing back on your choice not to drink, Iā€™d throw it back on themā€”ā€˜Why does my decision make you so uncomfortable?ā€™ Often, it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.
    • Dating sober is comical. You start realizing how much alcohol was masking genuine compatibilityā€”or the lack of it. And yes, sober sex is different, but itā€™s also deeper and more connected.
    • Celebration doesnā€™t have to mean alcohol. It could mean buying yourself your favorite dark chocolate, hosting a themed dinner with friends, or just sitting in gratitude and acknowledging your success.
    • If youā€™re judging people who are drinking, ask yourself: What about their behavior is triggering me? Sometimes, itā€™s not judgmentā€”itā€™s just recognizing a version of yourself that youā€™ve outgrown.


    Sobriety is not about deprivation; itā€™s about clarity, self-discovery, and redefining what truly brings joy and connection. Whether youā€™re sober-curious or fully committed, this conversation is a reminder that your journey is yours alone, and itā€™s okay to take it one day at a time.

    What the F Is Happening with Social Media? (And Why You Should Care)

    262: ā€œSocial media is like sprinkles on top. It's nice to have, but it's not necessary. You would not fill an entire ice cream cone with only sprinkles unless you were high!ā€


    In this raw, unfiltered episode, Chelsea unpacks the question on everyone's mind: What the F is going on with social media? She explores the political undercurrents shaping platforms like Meta and TikTok, examines algorithm shifts, questions the ethics of AI, and highlights why diversifying your content strategy is more important than ever.

    **Snippets** from the episode:

    • We cannot avoid the fact that social media is political. When you look at its founders, how they operate, their board members, where their money goesā€”you can easily see their values.
    • I want to be known for creating ā€œmoving mountains-levelā€ content, not just quick, funny videos. Social media is the sprinkles, but podcasts and newsletters? Thatā€™s the actual ice cream.
    • It started to feel like a toxic relationship where Instagram brings you flowers after treating you like shit. These platforms donā€™t care about your mental health or your incomeā€”they care about keeping you addicted.
    • AI-generated models look flawless, but is it ethical? A skincare brand using AI images isnā€™t the same as seeing a real person using the product. Itā€™s like selling a dream that doesnā€™t exist.
    • Platforms can disappear overnight. MySpace didnā€™t resurge. Vine didnā€™t come back. If youā€™re building your whole business on TikTok, what happens if it DOES get banned again?


    This is for you if youā€™re an entrepreneur or creator navigating the chaos of social media. Itā€™s a reminder that we control our digital footprintā€”and itā€™s time to invest in platforms we own, create content with purpose, and align our online presence with our core values.

    HONEST Year in Review : Business Edition - Losing My Biggest Client, De-centering Urgency, & Leisure as My North Star

    261: ā€œLeisure is one of my number one values. Friendships are some of my most important relationships and I would rather cut back on working and maybe sacrifice some income to be able to spend more time with my friends.ā€


    Itā€™s here ā€“ the annual BUSINESS YEAR IN REVIEW! (Did I learn anything, or am I still winging it?)


    This time, Iā€™m unpacking it all: losing a platinum client (ouch), a Christmas miracle pipeline save, de-centering urgency (hello, chill mornings!), and why contracts are basically your business bestie. Oh, and the mindset shifts that got me to $140k while taking nearly 2 months + Fridays off (because burnout? Not on my watch).


    This oneā€™s raw, honest, and full of receipts ā€“ LFG.


    Snippets from the episode:

    On Boundaries and Rest:I didnā€™t want to dive into work right after the holidays. Cape Town summer is finite, and prioritizing friendships and memories felt more valuable than rushing into tasks.

    On Diversifying Income:If one-on-one work is your primary revenue stream, losing one client can disrupt your entire system. Diversifying offers, like group programs, can provide stability.

    On Contracts and Policies:Late fees, pause clauses, and cancellation notices are not just practicalā€”they protect your time, energy, and resources.

    On Imposter Syndrome:If someone fills out your application or books a discovery call, theyā€™re talking to you for a reason. Donā€™t say no to yourself before they even have the chance to.

    On Simplifying Launches:I reframed launching as just telling people about my offer for a concentrated time. I made it easy by using what I loveā€”emails, podcasts, and simple visuals.

    Ending note:This episode is packed with actionable insights for entrepreneurs who value authenticity, strategic planning, andoo rest. Chelsea reminds us that running a business doesnā€™t have to mean sacrificing your peace or personal relationships.

    HONEST Year in Review: Personal Edition - Intense Flings, Sobriety, Budgeting Wizardry & Hanging Up My Nomad Jersey

    260: ā€œI don't do well with vague, fluffy information. So when people just say, 'Oh, you know, I had a hard time and I learned a lesson and did some therapy and did this and that. And then I just woke up and I just realized it was gone.' I'm like, what did you do? How long did it take? How much money did you spend? What support systems did you have? Those are the nitty gritty details that have helped me. And so to be in service, I want to offer that to you too."


    It's your favorite episode of the year - the annual HONEST YEAR IN REVIEW: Personal Edition (be sure to ā ā check out 2023's recap episodeā ā  and compare notes - was there actual progress made?)


    Chelsea invites all her 2024 skeletons in the closet onto the airwaves today, sharing everything from situationships (not again! didn't we learn?!), casual sex (or lack thereof), sober (kinda), and the inner demons she's tackling head on.


    Snippets from the episode:

    • On Relationships:

      "The lesson I learned from this is that you do need to communicate early on and often, and you cannot use physical intimacy as the glue and the prayer, if you will, that you're going to end up together."

    • On Sobriety:

      "Being sober, you have no excuse to say, 'OMG, I just said that because I was drunk.' It makes you reflect a lot."

    • On Financial Goals:

      "Set a goal that is beyond yourself. Paying off debt and getting to zero is cool, but I needed something more emotional, like taking my family to Japan."

    • On Travel and Intentionality:

      "ā€ŠIf you're trying to pick a place to live, think about somewhere that you like who you are or you feel expanded or inspired to become who you want to be."

    • On Budgeting:

      "Budgeting is just planning out your finances and putting your money where you want it to go. Itā€™s about controlling your money instead of your money controlling you."


    This episode is full of the nitty gritty of Chelsea's personal life, so if you want to know what goes on BTS of a digital nomad, entrepreneur, writer, podcast host and lover of life - this episode is for you.

    How To Live a Non-Regrettable Life

    258: ā€œWhat if you died tomorrow? What regrets would you have? And what decisions can you make in this present moment to live a non-regrettable life?ā€ - Chelsea Riffe


    In this solo episode, Chelsea explores the concept of living a non-regrettable life, breaking down how intentional decision-making can lead to a life filled with meaning and joy. She shares her own non-regrettable decisions, like quitting a job, moving abroad and starting a podcast, and lays out practical steps for aligning your actions with your dreams, no matter how big or small.


    **Snippets** from the episode:

    • The word 'decide' literally means to cut offā€”when you make a decision, youā€™re cutting off something to make space for something new.
    • If I died tomorrow, Iā€™d be so happy with what Iā€™ve created for myself and the people around me because I designed my life intentionally.
    • We live under this illusion that we have endless time, but the truth is, opportunities, your body, and your mind donā€™t wait forever.
    • Build your life like a video gameā€”drag and drop the things you love, delete what doesnā€™t serve you, and create your utopia.
    • Itā€™s not about perfection; itā€™s about showing up in a way that your future self will look back on and say, 'F yes, Iā€™m so proud of us.'


    Your life is happening now, not someday in the future. Start making decisions that align with life you want to create, and live in a way that leaves no room for regret. Your story matters, expert or not.

    Why I Quit Drinking: My Sober-ish Journey

    257: ā€œThere is like a deeper, deeper wisdom and voice calling me to be like ā€˜Chelsea, there is a next version of you waiting to unlock and it is sitting there ready to f***ing go. It has like a fire burning and it just needs you to be clear and focus and bright and zestyā€™. And I don't think of any of those words when I think of me drunk. ā€ - Chelsea Riffe


    In this episode, Chelsea opens up about her journey to becoming sober-ish, from her party-girl college days to navigating sobriety as an adult. She shares what prompted her to reexamine her relationship with alcohol and how she's building a life that truly aligns with her values.

    Snippets from the episode:

    • "I realized that my identity was so tied to drinkingā€”it was how I socialized, celebrated, and even coped with emotions I didnā€™t want to face."
    • "When I started tracking my spending, I saw how much money I was pouring into nights out, hangover food, and Ubers. It wasnā€™t aligned with my financial or personal goals."
    • "Morocco was a turning pointā€”it showed me I could live a full and joyful life without alcohol being the center of everything."
    • "Iā€™ve started pouring my energy into hobbies like pottery, boxing, and soap-makingā€”activities that fill my time and make me feel more connected to myself."
    • "The more I step into this sober-ish journey, the more I see how supportive and understanding my community can beā€”itā€™s a reminder that you donā€™t have to do this alone."


    Sobriety isnā€™t about perfection; itā€™s about choosing what aligns with your values and the life you want to create. Take it step by step, and remember that every small win is a vote for your authentic self!
