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.
