Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

Summary: In this episode of Messy Liberation, co-hosts Becky Mollenkamp and Taina Brown dive deep into the world of reality TV and its societal implications. From the allure of guilty pleasures to the entrenched gender roles and societal expectations, Becky and Taina unpack the complexities behind what many dismiss as "trash TV." They discuss how these shows reflect and challenge social conditioning, the double standards in entertainment consumption between men and women, and how indulging in reality TV can serve as both an escape and a mirror to our own lives. They also explore the underlying misogyny in labeling women's interests as frivolous and highlight the importance of acknowledging and challenging these biases.

Key Takeaways:

Reality TV as Escapism: Reality TV serves as a much-needed escape from the stresses of daily life and the overwhelming news cycle, allowing viewers to disconnect and indulge in mindless entertainment.
Judgment and Moral Superiority: Engaging in reality TV often involves a sense of moral superiority, as viewers judge the behaviors and lifestyles of the participants, providing a temporary boost to their own self-esteem.
Gendered Double Standards: There is a significant gender bias in how entertainment is perceived and valued, with women's interests often dismissed as frivolous or "trashy" while men's interests, like sports, are celebrated.
The Impact of Social Conditioning: The societal conditioning that devalues women's interests and activities is deeply rooted in misogyny and impacts how both men and women perceive and engage with various forms of entertainment.
Perfectionism and White Supremacy: The hosts connect perfectionism to white supremacy culture, discussing how the pursuit of perfection inhibits action and perpetuates existing power structures by discouraging those with marginalized identities from participating and making changes.
Toxic Individualism: Perfectionism also centers the individual, which aligns with the harmful societal trend of toxic individualism. Letting go of perfectionism is essential for focusing on collective well-being and progress.

In this raw and relatable episode of Messy Liberation, Becky and Taina unpack the complicated relationship adults have with creative expression, especially under capitalism and toxic productivity culture.

Becky and Taina are pulling back the curtain on the newest thing they’re building together: the Messy Liberation Coaches Circle —a community for people who coach (formally or informally) and want to practice coaching through a liberatory, feminist, and anti-capitalist lens. In this episode, they share the messy, honest backstory of how the group evolved from a free meet-up into a paid space—and why that change was necessary for sustainability and reciprocity. They talk about what makes the circle different from other coaching programs (no formulas, no gatekeeping, no 5K price tags), and what members can expect: co-working, spotlight support sessions, book club, and a whole lot of community care. They also share their dreams for what might come next—including pop-ups, co-op style referrals, and collective funds to redistribute resources. If you’ve been looking for a coaching space that feels more real , this might be it. 💬 Discussed in this episode: Why community without boundaries becomes unsustainable The difference between commerce and capitalism (and why this isn’t capitalist) Becky’s Enneagram 6 “community builder as trauma response” moment Sliding scale pricing and our approach to equitable access Taina’s vision for mutual aid inside a coaching community Co-creating a group instead of playing expert at the front of the room How we’re modeling what we believe about leadership and liberation What you actually get in the Coaches Circle Building the business you want—without doing it alone Our shared obsession with reciprocity, co-working, and subverting norms 📚 Resources mentioned: Messy Liberation Coaches Circle “Emergent Strategy” by adrienne maree brown “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron “The Serviceberry: An Economy of Abundance” by Robin Wall Kimmerer Feminist Podcasters Collective Wandering Aimfully by Jason & Caroline Zook…

Feeling helpless about the state of the world? Same. In this episode, Becky and Taina serve up a spicy mix of rage and real talk about how to practice anti-fascism and anti-capitalism without burning yourself out. From mailing junk to the White House as protest (yes, really!) to joining tool libraries and neighborhood swaps, they share ideas that are affordable, actionable, and rooted in mutual aid. They also go in hard on billionaires-in-space propaganda (👀 looking at you, Jeff Bezos), talk about why libraries are the ultimate resistance tool, and share fanfic-fueled joy as an act of defiance. This isn’t doomscrolling—it’s action-based community care for when you’re feeling powerless but still want to make a damn difference. Discussed In This Episode: What “anti-fascist action” actually means (spoiler: you don’t need a pitchfork) How to use Project Maelstorm to flood the system with snail mail resistance Mutual aid ideas that cost little or nothing Why local libraries are radical tools of liberation Critiquing the billionaire joyride to space Building community with lending libraries, swaps, and shared skills Saying “fuck it” to performative feminism and embracing real-life impact…
