Have you ever invested in a coach or program, hoping it would finally grow your business, only to feel more misaligned than ever?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what over $30K in coaching has taught me about alignment, strategy, and spiritual growth. We’re diving into the hard truths behind misaligned mentorship, the hidden dangers of hustle culture in coaching, and how to know if the support you’re seeking is truly rooted in God’s best for your life.
This is Part 1 of a two-part series on choosing coaches who grow you, not just your bottom line. Whether you’ve been burned by past investments or you’re discerning your next step, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and get back in alignment.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
