The Salty Goddess

In this unapologetic episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry dismantles one of the most toxic workplace behaviors of our time: people who expect excellence from others while delivering mediocrity themselves.
We’re talking about:
Leaders who don’t lead
Professionals who don’t perform
And systems that reward bare minimum effort with participation trophies and fake “accomplishments.”
Time is your most valuable currency — and when people waste it with incompetence, avoidance, and performative productivity, they rob everyone around them.
This episode dives into:✔️ Double standards in leadership✔️ Accountability vs entitlement✔️ Why low expectations breed low results✔️ The danger of certification culture without competence✔️ How “busy” became a cover story for useless✔️ Why real growth requires raising the damn standard
If you’re tired of carrying teams, covering for incompetence, and watching unqualified people collect praise they didn’t earn, this episode will give you language, clarity, and permission to stop enabling nonsense.
Because accomplishments that are handed out like participation trophies aren’t worth the paper their certificates are printed on.
And if you demand excellence from others…You better be willing to live it yourself.

Why are you still dragging 2025 into 2026 like a bad ex you refuse to block?
In this fiery episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry delivers a no-nonsense wake-up call about growth, habits, and why comfort is the most dangerous drug of all. If you’ve been naming your problems but refusing to change your behavior, this one’s for you.

Why people maintain their cars better than their mental health
How micro-changes can rewire your brain in just 28 days
Why not everyone deserves a seat on your growth journey
The difference between toxic positivity and real accountability
How to protect your peace without burning down your life

You’ll learn simple daily practices to reframe your mindset, break bad habits, and stop repeating the same year over and over again. From neuroscience and habit formation to boundaries and self-respect, this episode is part motivation, part tough love, and part salty therapy session.

You don’t get credit for naming your trauma if you refuse to do anything about it.
In this unapologetically salty episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry dismantles the myth that self-awareness equals growth. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. If you can perfectly explain your triggers, diagnoses, and patterns—but keep repeating the same destructive behaviors; you’re not evolved. You’re just well-versed.
Using sharp analogies from medicine, research standards, human development, and real-life relationships, Anne Margaret calls out the comfort of outdated beliefs, emotional inertia, and performative insight. From five-year medical guideline reviews to gum-snapping coworkers, tailgaters, trauma labels, and hypocritical relationship dynamics, this episode exposes why growth isn’t intellectual, public, or loud.
Growth is behavioral. Growth is embodied. And growth happens quietly, especially when no one is watching.
If you’re serious about not replaying 2025 in 2026, this episode is your mirror. And fair warning, if you feel triggered, it’s probably because she’s talking about you.

If you keep talking about growth but somehow keep ending up in the exact same place, this episode is your mirror, and you might not like what it shows.
In this Hump Day Guilty Pleasure episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret delivers a no-nonsense truth bomb about why so many people swear they want change… yet keep replaying the same year on loop.
We’re talking outdated self-image, comfort disguised as rest, motivation myths, performative growth, intellectual laziness, and why discipline - not hype - determines who actually moves forward. From outdated beliefs and borrowed opinions to why learning never stops (even after the classroom does), this episode calls out the habits that quietly sabotage your growth.
If your words don’t match your actions… if you’re “inspired” but unchanged… if you keep saying “I should” instead of “I did”, well, this one’s for you.
Warning: this episode may end friendships, shatter excuses, and force you to decide whether you’re growing......or just comfortable.
🎧 Listen now, share it with someone who needs it, and decide whether 2026 is going to be different… or just a rerun.

If you’re allergic to hard work, growth, and accountability, 2026 isn’t waiting for you. In this season finale of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret delivers the unfiltered lessons 2025 demanded we learn; about intrinsic motivation, integrity, honest self-assessment, and the real consequences of avoiding the work. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone stuck repeating the same patterns, blaming the same problems, and wondering why nothing changes. Growth is optional. The replay loop is automatic.

Welcome to the final Hump Day Guilty Pleasure of 2025, and consider this your lovingly savage wake-up call before you drag the same bad habits into 2026.
In this episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry dismantles the fantasy of New Year’s resolutions with unapologetic truth, brutal humor, and zero tolerance for performative self-help. If you keep overspending, over-promising, under-delivering, ignoring your trauma, numbing yourself with substances, and calling chaos a “personality trait”: this one’s for you.
We talk:
Why repeating the same behaviors year after year isn’t growth, it’s denial
How fragile egos keep people broke, burned out, and stuck
The ripple effects of ignoring systems, budgets, and personal accountability
Why healing isn’t weakness, and refusing to heal absolutely is
How to stop repainting cracks and actually repair the foundation of your life
This isn’t about becoming a “new you.”It’s about finally becoming an honest one.
You don’t need new body parts.You don’t need a new person.You don’t need another year to fail louder.
You need insight, discipline, courage, and a mirror.
If you’re ready to stop applauding your own self-destruction and build something that can actually hold weight, welcome home.

Leadership is not a title. It’s not authority. And it sure as hell isn’t fear.
In this episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry dismantles the biggest lie in modern leadership — that a job title makes someone a leader.
This episode dives into:
What leadership actually is (and why influence matters more than authority)
The difference between compliance and commitment
How fear-based leadership destroys trust, innovation, and retention
Why people don’t quit jobs — they quit managers
The hidden cost of bad leadership on morale, burnout, and organizational culture
If you’ve ever worked for a boss who ruled by intimidation, confusion, or ego — this episode will put words to what you already felt.
And if you’re in leadership?This episode is your mirror.
Raw. Direct. Uncomfortable. Necessary.
🎧 Listen now if you’re done confusing power with leadership — and ready to talk about what real influence looks like.

Everyone claims confidence.Very few can handle accountability.
In this episode, we cut through the performative bravado and expose the difference between real confidence and fragile ego. Because confidence doesn’t need applause, validation, or a sob story to justify bad behavior. Ego does. And victimhood? That’s just ego wearing a sympathy costume.
We’re talking about:
Why confident people own their mistakes instead of blaming the world
How ego feeds on attention, excuses, and external validation
The seductive comfort of victimhood—and why it keeps you stuck
What accountability actually looks like when you stop pretending
If you’re serious about personal growth, leadership, boundaries, and emotional maturity, this episode is your mirror. And fair warning—it doesn’t flatter liars, manipulators, or people addicted to being “done wrong.”
And, If this episode made you uncomfortable, it probably hit exactly where it needed to.
