  • Matt Easton: The Cheat Codes to Confidence, Communication & Getting What You Want

    Matt Easton: The Cheat Codes to Confidence, Communication & Getting What You Want
    Oct 13 2026
    Matt Easton knows how to sell.But this conversation is not really about sales.It’s about the tiny interactions that can change your career, your relationships and the way people respond to you.Matt joins Rachel Uchitel to explain the “cheat codes” he believes most people are missing when it comes to confidence, communication and getting what you want without manipulating anyone.His philosophy started long before he became a sales coach. Matt grew up with a single mother who made roughly $4,000 a year. As a child, he struggled to read and believed he wasn’t smart. Then a chance interaction with a salesman driving the exact Porsche Matt dreamed about changed the way he saw the world.From buying business cards for companies that didn’t exist, to throwing a rave despite never having attended one, to figuring out how to get into a nightclub every weekend without owning a car, Matt built his life around one question: how can I make someone else’s life better while solving the problem in front of me?Rachel and Matt talk about why ego can destroy opportunity, the difference between confidence and arrogance, why most people have forgotten how to communicate, how simply asking can change your dating life, why small everyday interactions matter more than we realize and how Matt believes AI should actually be used.And yes, there are sales lessons.But Matt’s bigger argument is that every interaction is an opportunity to practice how you move through the world.Because life may not be fair.But according to Matt, there are cheat codes.

  • Maddie Kowalski Revisited: The Viral Video, Consent & What Happened After

    Maddie Kowalski Revisited: The Viral Video, Consent & What Happened After
    Oct 9 2026
    Earlier this year, Rachel sat down with Maddie Kowalski for one of the most raw conversations we’ve had on Miss Understood.We’re bringing that interview back because the questions at the center of Maddie’s story have not gone away.Maddie was a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Florida when private videos of her were posted online without her consent. Within hours, her name was trending, the videos were being downloaded and reposted, and millions of strangers were dissecting, judging and making assumptions about a young woman they had never met.Maddie talks with Rachel about being under the influence, what she remembers from that night, watching the videos spread in real time, and the difference between consenting to a sexual act and consenting to being filmed or having that footage shared publicly.She also opens up about the aftermath: withdrawing from school, harassment directed at her family, struggling to leave her apartment, losing trust in people around her and trying to figure out how to return to a normal life after the internet had turned her into a viral story.Months later, Maddie was back at school and taking things day by day.As conversations about consent, campus culture and accountability continue across the country, we wanted to revisit Maddie’s interview and let her tell her story in her own words.This is an encore presentation of Rachel Uchitel’s conversation with Maddie Kowalski.--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

  • The Other Side of Perfect: How Venus Griffin Rebuilt Her Life After Everything Collapsed

    The Other Side of Perfect: How Venus Griffin Rebuilt Her Life After Everything Collapsed
    Oct 6 2026
    From the outside, Venus Griffin appeared to have the perfect life.She and her husband were raising six children in Augusta, Georgia. They were PTA presidents, sat front row at church every Sunday, and were known around town as the “Ken and Barbie of Augusta.”Behind closed doors, Venus says her marriage was becoming increasingly abusive.Then a phone call in the middle of the night began unraveling everything.A woman told Venus she was involved with her husband. Venus went to meet her convinced she could prove his innocence. Instead, it became the beginning of a series of revelations that would ultimately end her marriage and lead to her husband being convicted and sentenced to 45 years in prison.Suddenly, Venus was raising six children, living in a two-bedroom house and trying to rebuild a family dealing with trauma, shame and financial uncertainty.Her first year selling real estate, Venus made $20,000 while working 70-hour weeks.Seven years later, she was grossing seven figures.Rachel Uchitel sits down with Venus to unpack the story behind the life that once looked perfect, why she stayed as long as she did, the guilt she carried afterward, the extraordinary way she rebuilt financially, and why she believes forgiving herself was harder than forgiving anyone else.Her new book, The Other Side of Perfect, turns the story she once worked desperately to hide into a roadmap for women who feel trapped, ashamed or convinced there is no way forward.https://www.venusmorrisgriffin.com/book--- --- ---Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?
