But, Seriously

This week on But, Seriously, I’m guiding you through a 30ish minute meditation centered around the idea of composting energy. Taking the things we’ve been carrying, holding onto, or are ready to release, and returning them to mama earth. 🌱 Through visualization, breath, and stillness, we’ll practice transforming what feels heavy or stagnant into something that can nourish us. This is an invitation to let go, make space, and trust that release can be its own form of renewal. Put your headphones on, get comfortable, and let’s compost some shit, respectfully. 🫶

Together, they dive into the pressures of elite athletics, fighting for what’s right, and what it really takes to create lasting change. All with plenty of laughs along the way.

This week on But, Seriously, Taylor sits down with one of her best friends to talk about his journey from Ohio athlete to aerospace engineer to contestant on Temptation Island. Together, they dive into fitness, career changes, moving across the country, taking risks, and what happens when you stop living the life everyone expects of you.
Of course, they also spend plenty of time discussing reality TV, conspiracy theories, ridiculous stories from their friendship, and some revealing Dirty Laundry confessions.
It's a conversation full of laughs, honest reflections, and proof that sometimes the best things in life happen when you're willing to take a chance on yourself.

Jordan's back for Part 2, and we're saying the quiet parts out loud.
We're talking dating, sex, breakups, family trauma, therapy, and all the questionable decisions that somehow become your best stories later. We get into what it was really like growing up together, how we went from barely understanding each other to actually becoming best friends, and why healing isn't nearly as pretty as people make it look online.
There are plenty of sibling call outs, stories we probably shouldn't be telling, and a few moments that hit harder than expected. If you like honest conversations with zero pretending to have it all figured out, you're in the right place.

Welcome back to But, Seriously—the podcast where life's messiest, funniest, and most transformative moments take center stage.

Honest, heartfelt, and hilarious, this episode is a reminder that healing isn't linear, family is complicated, and sometimes the best way through life's hardest moments is with someone who knows exactly where you came from.

On this episode of "But Seriously," Taylor sits down with Erinn Hoyt, whose resilience and optimism shine through an incredible journey shaped by cystic fibrosis and a double lung transplant. Erinn opens up about living with a chronic illness from birth, navigating the complexities of the healthcare and disability systems, and facing the frequent misunderstandings society has about invisible illnesses. She shares the surprising role swimming played in her health and happiness, recounts her competitive drive at the Transplant Olympics, and candidly explores how major health events ripple through relationships, independence, and self-image.
From her early days as a competitive swimmer to her battle with government red tape, Erinn’s story is a compelling mix of humor, candor, and courage. Along the way, she and Taylor dig into the realities of medical burnout, the importance of creative and emotional outlets, and the challenge of balancing gratitude with the hard truths of chronic illness. With wit and wisdom, Erinn gives us an honest look at what it means to survive—and thrive—when life doesn’t go according to plan.
