What does it actually mean to fail... and what if it was never really failure at all? In this episode, Taryn and Andréa unpack the myth of the level playing field: in relationships, in the workplace, and in life , and why the game looks different depending on where you started. If you've ever been told you're "too much," shrunk yourself to fit in, or blamed yourself for a broken system, this one's for you.

Psychological safety isn't a perk — it's non-negotiable. When your environment becomes fundamentally unsafe, do you endure, adapt, or leave?

Executive coach Dave O'Connor joins Taryn and Andréa to break down what psychological safety actually costs you when it's missing — at work, in relationships, and in life.

In this episode:
— Why reading the room can become a trap
— How code switching quietly erodes your authenticity
— Curiosity as the antidote to assumptions
— Thermometer vs. thermostat: which one are you?
— When the strategy isn't endurance — it's departure

A white executive coach. One question nobody expected. And two Black women who had every right to say — wait, unpack that.

Psychological safety, code switching, and the one hypothetical a white man posed that reframes every meeting you'll ever walk into. This isn't a teaser. This is the conversation.

Episode 4: Find Something Safe to Do. Streaming begins June 25 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, iHeartRadio, and Amazon Music.

"Every single time I've made a decision from a place of fear, it has never worked out in my favor."

Join DDR hosts, Andrea Richardson and Taryn Williams Clark, as they welcome digital advocacy expert Terrence Chappell to the podcast. In this deep dive, we explore how to distinguish between fear that limits you and fear that propels you toward your destiny.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Fear as Information: How to collect internal data to assess your situation and make better choices.

• Manager vs. Leader: The importance of self-awareness in transitioning from managing to leading.

• Authenticity over Performance: The exhaustion of "performing" in professional spaces and how to stay true to your identity.

• Responsive Leadership: Practical tips for channeling anger into a transformative force.

You are not Simone Biles (or maybe you are?). Assessing capacity in your life to make space for the things that matter is what we all should be striving to accomplish. Making capacity for yourself should not be a sport.

This episode’s vibe check includes:

• Checking Your Battery: Using a 1-to-10 scale to communicate your emotional capacity to friends and loved ones.
• Life Survival: Tips for life so it doesn't manage you, and how to lead with truth to avoid burnout.
• Empathetic Leadership: Why "set it and forget it" management is outdated and why we need more "people-like" leaders who recognize when you're operating at a deficit.
• The Evolution: A sneak peek into "reset culture," legacy behaviors, and how to become the best version of yourself

Share your thoughts and tips on how you manage creating capacity in your life.
