EP: 16 Candlegate Part 2: Unfuck America Tour; Are Gingers Black? Diddy Trial weigh in 19.05.2025

We’re back—and this time, it’s personal. In Part 2 of CandleGate, I’m diving deeper into how cult-like influence, celebrity manipulation, and faux “anti-cancel culture” are keeping us stuck. From Drake to Trump, Diddy to performative patriarchy—we’re unpacking it all. Plus: ✨ Gingers & Black women ✨ Cultural echo chambers ✨ Why protecting Black men at our expense ain’t liberation If it stin...

Episode 15: The Lie of “Pro-Life” — What Your Pastor Won’t Tell You In this episode, I unpack the truth behind America’s “pro-life” performance — from adoption myths to political control. We talk white saviorism, foster care realities, forced birth, and what happens when survivors are silenced in the name of morality. I end with a personal story that reveals just how deep the harm can go. Trigger...

EP 14: Perfection, Projection and the POWER of Imperfection Part 1 27.04.2025

What happens when perfectionism isn’t just personal — but a survival strategy rooted in deep systems of control? In this powerful episode, Siobhan dives into the real reasons we cling to control, structure, and perfection — and how breaking free requires a radical return to grace, flexibility, and real leadership. Drawing from her personal experiences as a coach and entrepreneur, Siobhan shares po...

EP 13: Camp Call-Out Pt 2 starring Joey Swoll ( MAGA you can't sit with us) 23.04.2025

Joey Swole, self-appointed CEO of Gym Positivity, just showed his true colors—and not for the first time. In this follow-up to my viral Threads post about the "No MAGA In My Gym" sign, we unpack the backlash that came exactly as expected. I chose to post it in fitness threads on purpose, and baybeeee… they proved the point for me. We get into Joey’s performative platform, how he built fa...

EP 12: #Candlegate Part 1 23.04.2025

This is take two. This is a much more level-headed (and audible lol) version of my thoughts on The Camp Call Out Fallout. The first video? 25 minutes of pure silence. Always mic check, y’all. Anyway, it was meant to happen — I’m sure I was out of pocket in the first one. Anyways, I know I said I wouldn’t get petty or bring receipts, but listen... if you found your way off TikTok and made it here,...

EP 10 : Back on My Soapbox (with Wine 🍷 in Hand) #latepost 06.04.2025

In this off-the-cuff episode, I pour a glass of wine and celebrate being officially self-employed again—and whew, it's showin! What starts as a personal toast turns into a classic Siobhan-style download: we’re talking cognitive bias, performative allyship, inauthentic intentions, spiritual misalignment, and the subtle ways power plays out in our everyday lives. If you’re new here, welcome. If...

EP 9 :EP 9 : Play Performative Games, Win Performative Prizes 06.04.2025

In this episode, I unpack a real-time example of performative allyship gone completely off the rails—courtesy of content creator Camp Call Out (Mercedes Chandler), who spiraled on Threads and revealed exactly why proximity to marginalized people does not equal solidarity. In just 48 hours, she went from “down to clown” to just getting clowned—asking for education while ignoring the very people who...

EP 8 America, We Need to Talk 06.04.2025

America, We Need to Talk In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on America’s selective cruelty—from Trump’s push to erase monuments honoring women and Hispanic veterans, to Harvard suddenly offering free tuition after ending affirmative action. I also open up about my complex connection to pro-choice advocacy and adoption, and what it means to fight for bodily autonomy while honoring the tr...

EP 7 : The “ Sin” of Self Awareness 05.04.2025

🎙️ Self-awareness is the foundation of growth, but too many people online are lacking it. In this episode, I reflect on where I was when Mind Embody Co first launched (follow on Instagram: @Mindembody.co) and why personal evolution is key to our healing. We dive into the whitewashed world of manifestation, white male motivational culture ( aka red pill content) , and the entitlement of the ignoran...
