About this listen

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.

  • The Breastfeeding Episode I Wish I Had ft. Lindsay White
    Oct 31 2025

    #84: What happens when you’re trying to feed your baby in public and the world tells you to cover up? Or worse... go sit in a bathroom stall?

    In today’s episode, I sit down with Lindsay White, the founder of The Little Milk Bar — a viral brand turned advocacy movement that’s helping moms ditch the shame and feed their babies wherever and however they need.

    We get into what it’s really like to breastfeed in a world that still censors boobs, the three wildly different feeding journeys Lindsay had with her kids, and how grief completely redefined her approach to motherhood and business.

    She opens up about the emotional toll of parenting, the ways partners can actually show up (it’s not what you think), and why we need to stop asking women to be quiet and pretty while doing the most emotionally complex job on earth.

    This one’s tender, powerful, and real AF.

  • Mom Guilt, Mat Time, and Mid-Dirty Martinis
    Oct 6 2025

    #83: This one’s got range, y’all. 😅

    In this solo episode, I’m breaking down everything from my new dirty martini obsession (move over, Manhattans) to the raw spiral I had when my son broke his arm when I wasn’t there. 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 about their belt color). From ego checks and cauliflower ear to rediscovering resilience I didn’t know I had... this episode is a deep dive into being a beginner, building confidence, and owning your identity outside of motherhood.

    This one’s funny, unfiltered, and full of life lessons you didn’t know you needed.

  • Marriage, Money, and the Messy Middle ft. Brandee Gaar
    Sep 26 2025

    #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 remember the games you sobbed over missing, homeschooling for ambition, and the underrated power of a partner who says, “I’m not going anywhere.”

    Hit play if: you’re a wedding pro, a parent, or a builder stuck in the middle.
