  • Ep.59 | Win the Round: Rethinking “Struggle”
    Dec 2 2025

    ⚡️ Life isn’t one endless fight—it’s rounds.
    ❤️ In this episode I share a quick perspective shift I had on a hiking trail: stop calling everything a “struggle” and start asking, “What wins this round?” Survive, adjust, throw the right combo—no first-round KO required.

    This episode is for you when you need something simple and practical to get momentum back in the next 60 seconds—without overthinking.

  • Ep.58 | Privilege: Why I’m Choosing Gratitude (Even on Hard Days)
    Nov 25 2025

    When life feels heavy, I come back to one word: privilege.
    In this episode, I talk about the practice that keeps me centered—three wins, three gratitudes—and how “privilege” reframes relationships, work, and the days that feel mid. This episode is for you when you need a quiet reset that doesn’t depend on motivation. ⚡️❤️

  • Ep.55 | Belonging, Apologies & The Roles We Play (w/ Jon Mercer, Pt. 2)
    Nov 23 2025

    We grew up together… and we finally said the quiet parts out loud.
    In this episode, I ask Jon about the years we spent chasing acceptance, the labels that stick (“annoying,” outsider), and the two moments that almost broke our friendship—then what it took to repair it. We get into why we chase certain groups, the identity cost of performing a role that isn’t ours, and how a simple FaceTime at our high-school reunion changed everything. Jon also shares a major life regret (football vs. track), a neck injury that reshaped his path, and the work he’s doing now to care for his mental health and rebuild structure.

    This episode is for you when you’re rewriting old stories about who you had to be—and you’re ready to choose who you are. ⚡️❤️

  • Ep.56 | Love Without Enabling: Faith, Boundaries & Starting Anyway (w/ Kay)
    Nov 18 2025

    What does love look like when “help” stops helping?

    In this episode, I sit with Kay to talk about loving a sister through addiction without enabling, losing her mom, holding the family together while her dad battled staph infections and surgeries, and how faith shifted from religion to a real relationship with God. We also get into the mental load of motherhood, missing grown kids who live far, and the business she wishes she’d started sooner—but started anyway.

    This episode is for you when you’re choosing boundaries over burnout, and you need permission to begin—late, messy, and real. ⚡️❤️

  • Ep.57 | The Night Fireworks Felt Like War: A Veteran’s Way Back
    Nov 11 2025

    ⚡️ I sit down with Kris, a restaurant leader and Army vet who did three tours in Iraq. We talk about the day a parking-lot conversation changed both our moods, why the first 4th of July back nearly broke him, and how he slowly reclaimed driving, crowds, and sleep without letting pills run his life.
    ❤️ In this episode I share the exact moment I met Kris, the three questions that opened the door, and how he turned hyper-vigilance into a superpower at work—plus a simple practice he uses to reset his nervous system.

    This episode is for you if you’ve felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, or you love someone navigating PTSD, anxiety, or big life transitions.

    Content note: We briefly discuss a friend’s suicide and the realities of combat stress.

    Nov 9 2025

    Some days the loudest voice isn’t the wisest one.
    In this episode, I talk about becoming the guy people call when it’s time to shift state—the Spiritual Hypeman—and the moment I stopped fighting that role. I share what’s been real at home, why community matters when emotions run high, and how I’m building an MVP space for us to connect. This episode is for you when you’re ready to catch yourself mid-spiral and choose a better prompt. ⚡️❤️

    Halloween. Costumes. Sirens. Shotguns pointed at me.
    In this episode, I tell the truth about the night that could’ve gone a very different way—jealousy, alcohol, control—and the exact choices I changed after. I share what safety looks like now, why I cut substances first, and the one question that finally reset my behavior.

    This episode is for you when the party’s over and you don’t like who you were last night. ⚡️❤️

  • Ep.54 | Quarterbacked By Anxiety: Friendship, Mental Health & Choosing Your Real Role (w/ Jon Mercer)
    Nov 4 2025

    We’ve been friends since age eight. Today, Jon and I finally say the quiet parts out loud—childhood anxiety, parents’ divorce, being cast as “the quarterback” when your soul wanted to be a wide receiver, and what happens when you spend years performing a role that isn’t yours.
    In this episode, I ask Jon about living with anxiety/depression, medication (and when it helps), trying ketamine therapy, and learning to advocate for yourself when doctors and systems don’t give clear answers. We also talk journaling, breathwork, alcohol and social energy, travel “freedom” vs. feeling untethered, and building a life around values—not pressure.
    This episode is for you when you’re rethinking the script you’ve been handed and you’re ready to choose the role that actually fits. ⚡️❤️
