You've done the therapy. You've read the books. You can name your patterns, trace them back to childhood, and explain exactly why you do what you do. And you're still doing it. If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. Today I'm answering five listener questions. What I didn't realize until I recorded is that all of them are really asking the same thing: why...

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 i...

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...

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...

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 li...

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...

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 exact...

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 spi...

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,...

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....

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...

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 th...

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.

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...
