This episode is about shifting your mindset — and while the lesson applies to everyone, in business it shows up most clearly in the difference between an employee mindset and a CEO mindset.

I’m joined by Zhanna Blazej, a strategist and CEO who has built her career helping entrepreneurs create sustainable businesses rooted in strategy, clarity, and boundaries. For Zhanna, motherhood was the catalyst that forced her to evolve — her son’s existence required her to stop running her business on poor boundaries and start making decisions that were truly worth her time.

Together, we unpack what it means to separate who you are from what your business produces, why emotions often keep people stuck, and how the CEO mindset allows you to lead with intention instead of burnout.

In this episode of Comfortable Conversations, NFL star Matt Judon sits down to talk about life far beyond the game. We explore the discomforts that shaped him, the role of faith in his journey, and what fatherhood has brought into his life.Matt shares candidly about mental health, and what it means to be intentional with what you bring to your friends versus what you bring to your therapist or support system because not everyone can hold the same weight.

We talk about how he protects his peace in a career built on pressure, the routines that keep him grounded, and the vision he’s carrying for the future. It’s about being present, knowing where to place your trust, and choosing intentional living in every arena of life.

What if confidence isn’t something you’re born with, but something you build quietly, when no one’s watching?

At 19, Baylor wide receiver Taz Williams Jr. is living that truth. His story isn’t just about football, but the quiet battles we all face: the moments of doubt, the whispered prayers, the decision to believe in yourself when the pressure feels heavier than the spotlight.

In this episode, Taz shares share to us a mirror so that we are reminded that becoming who you’re meant to be is uncomfortable, uncertain, and deeply personal. And yet, it’s in those moments strength is born.
