What does it really mean to let people see the truer version of you?

In this episode of Trash Talk, Ché Ugwuala introduces a bold reframe: the art of unveiling yourself on your own terms. Forget the pressure of a “big reveal”—Ché shows how to reclaim agency regarding your real story.

This is a conversation about disclosure reimagined, where power stays with the person sharing (rather than audience receiving).

Welcome to the official kickoff of All the Gurus, our feature experiment in examining ideas that don’t *always* deserve to be nodded at.

In this episode, Erica Breuer and Erin Thomas take on “Everything is Figureoutable,” the phrase that launched a thousand vision boards and at least one bestselling book.

Popularized by Marie Forleo, this mantra promises forward motion, and it’s a case study for what we’re calling the guru formula: a repeatable pattern that turns relatability, certainty, and a simple idea into a full-blown media engine.
