Unblocked

You submitted your questions. I answered them honestly.

This is a full Ask Me Anything episode, and we went there. From how I distinguish fear from intuition, to the mindset trap I still fall into, to the question I think a lot of high-achievers are too afraid to ask out loud: if my life is already good, why do I still want more?

If you've ever felt guilty for having big dreams, or wondered if something is wrong with you for not feel...

I have a rule: if somebody's going to be disappointed by my decisions, let it not be me.

In this episode, I'm talking about one of the most common reasons smart, capable people hold back — the fear of being disappointed. Aka, a feeling.

Protecting yourself from disappointment doesn't actually protect you. It just moves the disappointment earlier. You're already deciding you can't have what you want.

In this episode I cover:

• W...

You're watching someone else do the thing you want to do, and they're doing it better than you. So your brain, being your brain, lands on "well, that must mean I suck."

In this episode, I unpack why comparison doesn't have to mean what you think it means and why "they're better than me" doesn't have to end with "so I'm terrible."

In this episode you'll hear my personal example plus the client conversation that sparked the whole episo...

A few weeks ago, my guest and I were in the same room in Austin for Rachel Hollis's Rise Elevate conference. Today we're unpacking what actually happened including the honest parts that not every would say out loud.

This is a real conversation between two women who showed up nervous, got cracked open, and came home with more than they expected. 

IN THIS EPISODE:

• What it actually feels like to walk into a room full of stranger...

You submitted the questions. I answered them, including one I had to coach myself through two hours before hitting record.

This episode covers four listener questions on the stuff that actually keeps people stuck: the cycle of chasing confidence through goals that never deliver it, people-pleasing that survives every book and podcast and therapy session, how coaches get out of their own heads, and what to do when life feels too good...

You started strong. Then something didn't go the way you hoped and before you made a single conscious decision, you had already pulled back.

That moment is where goals go to die, and I don't think we're talking enough about it.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the Pursuit Cycle. This is the four-phase framework I use inside my coaching practice, and I'm showing you exactly where most people fall out of it. 

What You'll Learn:

The world spent years telling you what to think. Today, we talk about how to think and why learning this one skill changes everything. I'll walk you through the S.T.E.A.R. framework I use with all my coaching clients. This is a step-by-step tool for understanding how your thoughts are literally creating your results, and how to interrupt the patterns keeping you stuck. If you've ever spiraled, over-analyzed, or talked yourself out ...

This episode feels different.

If you’ve been listening this year, you know I’ve been shifting the format of Unblocked. I want these conversations to feel less like interviews and more like real life. Friends around a table. Honest wrestling. Communion over conclusions. And that’s exactly what this episode is.

I’m joined by Reverend Mary Hahn and Jamie Bell Showmaker for a conversation about faith, spirituality...

We hear it all the time. “You just need to move on.” But what if moving on is not actually what creates healing?

In this episode, I explore the difference between moving on and moving forward, and why this distinction matters so much when you have lived through something painful, meaningful, or life-shaping.

Moving on often implies erasing, minimizing, or trying to be unaffected by what happened. Moving forward is differe...

Life does not always fall apart in neat, Instagram-worthy ways.

Sometimes it blindsides you. Sometimes it knocks the air out of you. Sometimes it leaves your nervous system spinning and your mind searching for answers.

In this episode I break down what coaching actually does for you when life kicks you in the junk — not by avoiding pain, but by helping you stay self-led inside of it.

I share how I personally navigated a recent s...

In this episode, I’m trying something new.

This is the first Ask Me Anything episode under the new 2026 format, and I’m answering real, anonymous questions submitted on Instagram. 

I talk about how to navigate the gap between the life you imagined and the life you’re living. I walk through how I use the STEAR model to separate neutral facts from the stories we tell ourselves, and how unexamined thoughts can qui...

This episode is a personal reflection and reset. I’m looking back on 2025 through the lens of my word of the year, unimaginable, and sharing what surprised me most, what stretched me, and what I’m genuinely proud of. 

I also pull back the curtain on what’s changing as I head into 2026. You’ll hear how I’m rethinking the structure and rhythm of the Unblocked podcast.

I share my new word of the year f...

In this episode of Unblocked, I sit down with Jena Lorén, also known as The Consciousness Architect, for a powerful conversation about ego, alignment, and identity shifts.

Jena shares her personal journey through trauma, survival patterns, and major life transitions, and how those experiences shaped the work she does today. We talk about how ego forms as a protective mechanism, how it quietly runs our decisions, and why so many ambi...

Today’s episode is a special one. I hand the mic over to my friend Angela for a deep, no-holding-back conversation about my book In Pursuit. We get into the writing process, the messy middle, the self-abandonment patterns we carry, and what it really takes to live a life that feels like home to yourself. 

This isn’t an interview as much as it is a soul-level conversation between two coaches about purpose, discomfort...

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Zach Wright, a former Green Beret turned physician at Framework Wellness, who brings an unconventional yet deeply practical approach to health and healing.

We explore how Zach’s experience as a Special Forces medic shaped his philosophy of medicine into one rooted in curiosity, adaptability, and going upstream to find the real cause of suffering. We talk about what happens when we stop chas...

Letting go sounds beautiful in theory…until you’re the one standing in the middle of it. Even when we know it’s time for change, transitions can be messy, emotional, and full of uncertainty.

In this episode of Unblocked, I sit down with Katie Pulsifer, Master Certified Coach and mentor to thousands of coaches, for a real, honest, and deeply human conversation about what it takes to move through change without losi...

In this episode, I’m joined by health and self-leadership coach Courtney Townley for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about consistency, health, and personal growth.

Courtney has spent nearly three decades helping women cut through the noise of wellness culture and reconnect to themselves through self-trust, not self-control. Her new book, The Consistency Code: A Midlife Woman’s Guide to D...

In this episode, I sit down with Certified Hypnotherapist and Intuitive Guide, Lynnsey Robinson, to explore the power of the subconscious mind and how it shapes every thought, emotion, and action we take. Lynnsey helps ambitious women all over the world clear subconscious blocks so they can embody their highest potential and manifest their deepest desires.

We talk about what the subconscious actually is, how hypnotherapy works, and ...

How you got here is less important than what you do next.

That single sentence captures the heart of this week’s conversation with Jeremy Stalnecker. Jeremy is a former Marine Corps Infantry Officer, author, speaker, and the Executive Director of the Mighty Oaks Foundation - a nonprofit helping veterans, first responders, and families heal from trauma and rediscover purpose.

In this episode, Jeremy and I talk about what happens...
