This week, Legan and Max sit down with executive coach and brand strategist Brandy Holder for a raw, vulnerable, and ultimately hopeful conversation about grief, healing, and finding love after unimaginable loss. Brandy shares the story of losing her husband to cancer just 44 days after their wedding—and how that experience cracked open a journey of emotional survival, financial reinvention, and deep personal transformation.

Together, they explore:

-What healthy love looks like after years of chaos and codependency

-How childhood messages about independence shape who we choose

-Why success doesn’t fix the parts of us still hurting

-What it means to grieve while someone is still alive—and how to heal after they’re gone

-The power of attracting love based on choice, not need

-And why healing isn’t something you perform for others

Brandy’s story is proof that it's possible to rebuild a peaceful, joyful life and love from the ashes. If you’ve ever felt broken by loss, or unsure what comes next, this conversation offers both clarity and comfort.

In this episode of Chaos and Chemistry, Max and Legan unpack a subtle but life-changing truth: the difference between wanting something and needing it to feel okay. When desire becomes attachment, your peace, worth, and joy get tied to outcomes outside of you—like a text, job, or relationship. The result? Anxiety, burnout, and a constant feeling of not-enoughness. But when you learn to want without clinging, everything changes.

🎧 Tune in to explore:

• The emotional spiral of attachment

• Why anxious love feels so addictive

• How society wires us to chase and never arrive

• The 3 types of hidden addictions (power, security, sensation)

• How to loosen your grip and come back home to yourself

No one and nothing outside of you is your home. You are.

Join hosts Legan and Max as they unravel the real meaning of being "high value" beyond the internet's obsession with strategy and appearances. This episode challenges the common belief that value is something you achieve through external tactics. Instead, they dive deep into the truth: real value is an inner journey of self-discovery, not a mask you wear.

Explore the key attributes of genuinely high-value individuals, including:

• Taking full responsibility for your actions and reactions.

• Balancing healthy masculine and feminine energies within yourself.

• Trusting your intuition and staying grounded in the present.

• Moving away from strategy and into authenticity.

• Cultivating self-awareness and deep connections with others.

Legan and Max break down why strategy-based "value" is often fear-driven and leads to inauthentic connections. True value isn’t found; it’s uncovered within you.

Tune in to learn how embracing your true self—not strategy—leads to real, lasting connections.

Discover the power of showing up as your authentic self—no games, no strategy, just true value.

Join Legan and Max on Chaos and Chemistry as they dive into the critical distinction between healthy expectations and harmful entitlement in relationships. Understanding this boundary is essential for building authentic connections and avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Discover the traits of healthy expectations—mutual respect, open communication, and reasonable needs—and how your understanding of these may be shaped by childhood experiences. Learn how entitled expectations often come from a self-centered mindset, expecting a partner to abandon themselves to meet your needs, and how this can mask unresolved emotional wounds. Entitlement doesn’t foster connection—it creates a prison.

Legan and Max explore how these entitled patterns often stem from what we witnessed growing up and the belief that someone owes us something. They share practical ways to shift from entitlement to healthy expectations—by softening your stance, accepting imperfection, staying curious, and recognizing your own patterns.

This episode will help you spot red flags in yourself and transform the way you show up in relationships—so you can build stronger, more secure connections.
