Baking Patience

Talk, Unleashed

You can’t un-bake a cake. Seems a silly statement, because - of course you can’t. Once it’s done, it’s done. Same with those words that may fly outta your pie-hole without thinking - those words that leave a mark. Those words that can’t be taken back.

That’s not what this episode is about.

This episode is kind of about the opposite of that. That in order to avoid an error in baking, it takes patience. You gotta let it sit. You can’t turn up the heat and expect that the cake will bake faster. It won’t. In fact if the oven is too hot that cake or pie or cookies or whatever you’re making - will be pretty f*cking awful.

Baking soothes me. It always has. It goes back to childhood and the passion in baking instilled in me by my dad’s mom. And for the last year or so I’ve been unable to bake due to what can only be described as a conflict with my oven.

A conflict, I’ve finally resolved. With patience. Per usual, some big lessons came … along with some goddamn great cookies.

And THAT is what this week’s episode is about.

In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity.

Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It’s about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it’s unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed.

This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages.
