Here Be Dragons

Ready to awaken your inner dragon? Here Be Dragons is the podcast from Dragonhood where we explore the whole map of who we are — even the uncharted territory. Through candid conversations with Dragonhood team members and special guests, we dive into career empowerment, leadership, identity, workplace culture, and what it means to grow as a whole human being. This is a space for anyone navigating change, seeking clarity, building confidence, or learning how to take up more space in their work and life. We talk about the messy middle of becoming: the career pivots, the confidence wobbles, the cultural expectations, the leadership lessons, the boundaries, the breakthroughs, and the small moments that help us reconnect with our authentic power. Rooted in curiosity, connection, and growth, Here Be Dragons invites you to rethink what success looks like, challenge the stories that keep you small, and explore new ways to lead, work, and live with more intention.

  Being Really Seen

  Sep 29, 202652 minS3

  What does it actually mean to feel seen? In this episode, Rachel and Clair explore the difference between attention, recognition, and true understanding, and why being noticed is not always the same as feeling known. Sometimes we want recognition. Sometimes we want privacy. And sometimes the urge to say “Please do not perceive me right now” has less to do with avoiding connection and more to do with being exhausted from explaining, translating, or performing a version of ourselves that other people can easily understand. Together, Rachel and Clair look at how our desire for visibility changes depending on our capacity, trust, stakes, and desire for connection . They also explore what being accurately seen can look like in friendship, leadership, and virtual spaces—and why curiosity can be more powerful than confidently assuming we already understand someone. Because being really seen doesn’t require being completely exposed. It means having enough room to remain complex. Action Item: Notice the difference between being looked at and being understood . Pay attention to where you feel free to be complex, where you find yourself performing, and where you may be making assumptions about someone else based on only part of their story. Then try one small shift: Trade certainty for curiosity. What do you wish people understood about you without requiring you to explain it perfectly? We’d love to hear your reflections.

  Dolly the Dragon: Two Things Can Be True - PART TWO

  Sep 15, 202637 minS3

  This is the continuation of Dolly the Dragon, Part One. Listen now to catch up before diving in. What if becoming more fully yourself isn’t about resolving your contradictions, but making room for all of them? In the Season 3 premiere of Here Be Dragons , Rachel and Clair honor Dolly Parton by looking beyond the milestones of her extraordinary career and toward the lessons found in how she lived. Through stories about her early self-belief, her departure from The Porter Wagoner Show , the publishing rights to “I Will Always Love You,” Dollywood, the Imagination Library, and her deeply practical generosity, they return to one of Dragonhood’s central reframes: two things can be true. You can be confident and nervous. Grateful and ready to leave. Kind and boundaried. Ambitious and generous. Rooted in where you came from and determined to build something new. Whether you’re learning to trust yourself before the world catches up, protect the value of what you’ve created, or use your own success to create opportunity for others, this episode is an invitation to replace either/or with and —and to keep becoming more fully yourself. Action Item: Where could your skills and compassion come together to create meaningful action? Where are you treating two parts of yourself as contradictions when they might both be true?

  Originally released June 28, 2024. Clair and Rachel discuss the power of the word “AND” - and how that means we open ourselves up to more possibilities.

  Gentle Systems and Tiny Supports: For Brains That Carry A Lot (aka Neurodivergence, Perimenopause & Practical Magic)

  Jun 30, 202641 minS2

  In this deeply validating and practical episode, Rachel Inabinet and Clair Poletti explore the quiet, often invisible work of navigating the world with a brain that’s carrying a lot. Whether it’s neurodivergence, hormonal shifts, stress, or simply modern life, they unpack the power of tiny supports and gentle systems that make daily functioning more possible and more humane. The conversation highlights: Why traditional productivity systems fail and who they leave out Gentle systems vs. rigid structures: designing support that works with your brain, not against it Tiny supports as “practical magic:” cues, rituals, and micro-adjustments that reduce friction Shame vs. support: moving from self-judgment to self-compassion Leadership implications: how teams and organizations can better support diverse brains This episode is both a permission slip and a toolkit: you don’t need more discipline, rather, you need better support. Reflection Prompts: Where are you still using shame in places where support might work better? What’s one small system or cue that genuinely helps your brain function better? What’s one thing you could make easier instead of harder this week? What support have you resisted because you thought you “shouldn’t need it?” Keep Soaring with Additional Resources: Buy the book!

  Storm Mode: Knowing When To Stand Down

  May 26, 202639 minS2

  <p>What if the storm has already passed — but you’re still bracing for it?</p><p>In this episode, Rachel and Clair explore what they call “storm mode” — that state of heightened awareness where we’re scanning, preparing, anticipating, and holding everything together. It’s an intelligent, necessary response to uncertainty and change… but one that isn’t meant to last forever.</p><p>Together, they unpack what storm mode looks like in our thoughts, bodies, and behaviors, why it can quietly become our baseline, and how to recognize when it’s time to stand down. From the subtle cost of prolonged vi...
