What if grief isn’t just something to overcome, but a guide toward deeper wisdom and wholeness?

In this episode, I sit down with Ursula Taylor - former litigation attorney turned holistic conflict resolution expert - to explore how grief, when approached with awareness, can transform both healing and leadership. Together, we discuss the power of emotional intelligence, embodied awareness, and the ways unresolved pain shows up in our personal and professional lives.

Ursula shares how listening to the body’s signals - rather than relying solely on strategy - can foster resilience, unlock intuitive guidance and create more human-centered solutions, even in the most complex conflicts.

If you’re navigating loss, holding space for others, or leading through challenging conversations, this episode will invite you to slow down, tune in, and reimagine what resolution truly means.

In this episode of Make Discomfort Your Btch*, I talk with Brandon Marshall about the moment everything shifted - when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as an adult. Brandon shares how that unexpected and life-altering diagnosis became a catalyst for radical self-responsibility, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of purpose in both life and business.

We explore how learning to live with a chronic illness forced him to stop outsourcing his well-being and start taking ownership of his mindset, habits, and choices. From this deeply personal journey came the values that now shape his leadership in his work.

This is a conversation about resilience, rethinking your limits, and the power of turning a hard moment into your greatest teacher. You don’t want to miss it.

Brandon is a driven entrepreneur and the founder of a specialized staffing agency focused on education and healthcare. With a background in recruiting and business development with nearly a decade of experience in the industry, he has built a reputation for creating people first staffing models that balance purpose and performance.
