I mean, I-

And like my thing is, is like that's too f- like, that's too far and too soon in the game to be going Traitor against Traitor even though I know he was, like, wanting to go full throttle.

But, like, at the end of the day, you kinda have to play fair game, and as much as that sucks, and I know that, like, it's a spot that you really want, you, you have to, you kinda have to choose your battles there.

And I, I didn't like that he was throwing out her name because in my mind I'm like, "Okay.

Well, if he's throwing out my name, then could he just automatically go against me at the roundtable, and I'd be blindsided at the roundtable?"

Um, do you feel like you would be doing that, you guys? Or do you feel like, um, that's just idiotic?

No, it's just like, I feel like that's not, that's not substantial, like, evidence.

Like, that's not evidence.

But Taylor, why don't you kick us off by telling us a little bit more about why are you so passionate about helping individuals with visibility?

Of course.

Well, Haley, thank you so much for having me.

I'm so excited to have this conversation today.

And so for those who don't know, my name is Taylor and I'm the founder of The Power Table, which is a visibility and leadership platform for primarily female founders who build businesses online.

coaches, service providers, consultants, and experts.

And I think that, you know, we had a lot of noise in the coaching marketing space over the past few years.

well

Strategy

and governance.

They have an eye on everything and they are the director and have a say so in every piece.

That's really where the family sits, right? So families always want to know.

You keep telling me I have to give all my stuff away into these trusts that I'm not even a trustee.

Like, what the heck? What do you mean? I still have access to this.

So they want to know at the end of the day, I'm still calling the shots on the things I could call shots on.

who's

Where, where do you feel bad in, in that couple?

So the only person I feel bad for is Inaya, and I'm gonna be completely straight up with that, is because, okay, I will say Casey had me maybe the first seven episodes.

Casey did have me.

Like, the first seven episodes I was like, "Okay, I can see Casey and Inaya.

I can see Casey and Inaya." Like, I can see them making it to the end.

But once Sol was on the chopping block, and he pulls her for a chat, that's where I kinda fell off the Casey wagon, because I go, "Okay, well, you're not fully about Inaya, because you seemed very interested to, in to keep exploring her, and you were kind of feeling some type of way that she was leaving the villa." So I, and that's why I immediately knew he was gonna act out in Casa.

Like, and I thought, I knew that Casey and Inaya was gonna be the jaw-dropper of, like, the season of, like, you know, where the drama unfolded.

Well, 'cause she's wacky

So as always, I asked my guests, what is it that really captured your interest? your attention when you applied to speak at Soul Speaks and why is it that you are on this mission and movement with me?

So I think the name almost says it all, like Soul Speaks.

There are so many incredible women that do incredible things, like incredible, and it's all from the soul.

It's because they want to support and uplift and help others.

And that's something that really aligns with me.

I specialize in numbers and finance.

That's my background.

So I was just wondering if we could just touch on your views around that.

Mm-hmm.

Exactly.

'Cause, like, last season, I mean...

I just think the fandom and the, the fans of this, you know, Love Island franchise has become so over the top where we've gotten the craziest fan base now where we're digging up dirt, we're finding things on people from, you know, nine years ago when people are in their high school pasts.

And I think also, too, with that, like, with the families that were taking over and friends that were taking over Instagrams from Season Seven, like, a lot of, like, families was r- were receiving death threats, and, like, it just got out of hand.

And I think that was the best decision for this season going into Love Island that the producers learned, um, 'cause it's, it's a learning curve.

Like, they probably didn't know, like, to the extent of how- ... crazy the fans were gonna get to that extent.

But what were you saying in the YouTube video?

Emotions, mechanics, any nervy moments you had? No.

Yeah, so I would say going into that game, my performance before wasn't the best, so I definitely had a little bit of self-doubt going in, but I was definitely confident in my stuff, and my pitching coach definitely instilled that confidence in me.

And just taking it one pitch at a time, one inning at a time, and just attacking the hitters, I think I had a lot of confidence in my defense that game, and they were making great plays behind me.

So, yeah, I just would say I had a lot of confidence throughout the game, and obviously I was aware of that no-hitter.

However, I was just trying to stay present in the moment and not think too much about it.

But I would just say that my pitches were working really well, and yeah, Yeah, I had full confidence in myself, so I think those two things allowed me to perform the way I did.

Who were some of your best teachers, coaches, who turned you into the player that you are today growing up?

Yeah.

Can you take us through what you think might be the psychology that is happening right now between Amanda and Sierra and why Amanda would ever do this to Sierra?

To be honest, and you know what's crazy is I've seen so many TikToks of people going back on three episodes ago or dissecting into different aspects of Amanda, Amanda looking at Wes and Wes coming in.

But I truly do think that I think whenever this started between Amanda and Wes, the psychology behind Amanda was that She probably was in her mind of like, I know this is wrong, but I'm like, I'm still going to do it.

And that to me is the part that I think is fucked up is because she knew even breathing near Wes was wrong.

not going to be acceptable you know especially with her best friend but I think also too is Amanda was trying to tiptoe around this situation of trying to make it seem like she's a good friend on the show being like I'm here I love you and like putting on this front to make things seem that like they're still normal which is why I feel like people were like this is not true

You know, I mean, when you see when you hear things like that in Sierra's story, does that personally affect you at all?

It does because that's also something that I can relate to as well.

You know what I mean? Like I have been in Sierra's shoes before.
