    May 21 2025
    Are you showing up like the person you say you want to be? Or are you still stuck in habits that keep you in survival mode—burnt out, resentful, and playing small? In this episode, I’m joined by my powerhouse wife Sarah—Balance Lifestyle Coach, Personal Trainer, and walking embodiment of what I call a Humble Badass. Together, we break down the 8 habits she uses (and teaches) to help high-performing women reclaim their power without losing their softness. This isn’t about hustle. It’s about alignment. It’s about embodiment. It’s about walking your talk—in the gym, in your marriage, with your kids, and in your own mirror. We unpack her Unleash Your Humble Badass framework—a no-fluff process for cultivating self-trust, energetic presence, and a grounded confidence that doesn’t need to prove itself. These tools aren’t magic. They’re principles in motion. You can use them—or not. But if you’ve been craving a more honest, empowered, and sustainable way to show up in your life... this episode is your invitation. Let’s go. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?

  • The Personal Development Trap: Why Chasing Growth Might Be Holding You Back

    The Personal Development Trap: Why Chasing Growth Might Be Holding You Back
    May 2 2025
    When’s the last time you stopped to actually see your growth? Not the goal you're chasing. Not the next version of you that you think you should be. I'm talking about a real, honest pause—to look back and say, “Wow, I’ve come a long way.” In this episode, I unpack a few powerful moments where I caught myself in the act of growth—one with my wife, one with myself—and what it taught me about self-mastery, presence, and how easily we overlook our own evolution. If you're someone who's been "doing the work," you probably have a high bar. But here's the truth: constantly chasing better without stopping to acknowledge the wins is a fast-track to burnout and self-judgment. In this episode I talk about: Why high achievers struggle to recognize their own healing The cost of skipping acknowledgment What real growth looks like in relationships and in the mirror How to build in reflection without losing momentum This isn’t about staying stuck in the past. It’s about using your progress as proof—you’re not who you used to be. And that matters. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?

    The Quiet Habit That’s Killing Your Self Confidence And Self Trust
    Apr 23 2025
    What if the real reason you’re stuck isn’t a lack of time or willpower—but a lack of trust in yourself? Every broken promise to yourself chips away at your confidence—and you don’t even realize it’s happening. From missed workouts to late-night scrolling instead of journaling, it’s not about discipline—it’s about self-trust. In this episode, I break down why the seemingly small commitments you flake on matter more than you think. Because if you can’t count on YOU…who can? We talk about: How broken promises create quiet chaos in your life Why you’re stuck in the same patterns (even though you “know better”) The ripple effect of self-integrity—and how to raise your personal standard Plus, I share five battle-tested ways to follow through, even when life throws you curveballs. If you want to lead your life with intention and actually feel good doing it, this one's for you. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?

  • The 3 Mindsets That Have Transformed My Confidence, Relationships and Wealth

    The 3 Mindsets That Have Transformed My Confidence, Relationships and Wealth
    Apr 16 2025
    In today's episode I'm sharing with you three mindsets that have been the biggest catalysts for my personal transformation over the past 4 years. From my self confidence, to the quality of my relationships, to my ability to attract money and create wealth, these 3 things have been the spark for them all. This episode was inspired by a question I was asked last week, "What would you attribute to the huge transformation you've made in your life over the past 4 years?". Here's where I was: I didn't trust myself. I had low confidence that I could do and achieve what I wanted to in life (financially, career wise, goal wise, in relationships, etc.) I wore a mask of physical confidence -- friends saw me as a person who was confident in my body, but internally I judged, and compared and told myself that I was never big, strong, "black" enough. I had complete financial immaturity. I was totally scarce minded. Afraid to look at my bank account. Anxious during financial conversation. I was swimming in student loan and credit card debt, and had no plan to get out because I was so scared of my personal finances. I had a lukewarm intimate relationship with my wife (dating at the time). We both came into the relationship with fears, judgements, negative self talk, and that created a lukewarm bedroom. Where I am 4 years later: Insane confidence in myself, that's grounded with humility. I have come to understand things about myself, how I operate, what I'm capable of, that I never knew before. realized I'm stronger, smarter, more resourceful, kind, compassionate, passionate, sexy, courageous than I ever knew possible. Also realized that I don't know it all, that my growth is contingent upon my ability to seek and receive feedback powerfully. That's where my humility comes from. I have a strong, passionate, loving, trusting relationship with my wife. connected, not attached. Amazing sex and intimacy. We feel confident to explore the parameters of our relationship and what loving one another unconditionally means. For us that looks like non-monogamy. We're married and love each other completely, and we support one another in creating powerful, intimate relationships with other people (physically, spiritually, emotionally....all of that) Iv'e opened myself up to receive abundance and generate more money today than I ever have, with much less effort. I have confidence in my ability to achieve the goals I set out. I'm able to take risks and do things that no one else around me is doing (quit my job to pursue a passion, right before having a baby, start a podcast, leverage my gifts and talents, build an online empire). Listen to the episode to hear the 3 mindsets that have led to all of these personal transformations. STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?

  • You’re In The Fire—Here's How You Don’t Lose Your Center

    You’re In The Fire—Here's How You Don’t Lose Your Center
    Apr 8 2025
    What do you lean on when life blindsides you, again and again—and you’re too tired to pretend you’ve got it all together? When life throws you into the fire—when the hits keep coming and you’re running on fumes—it’s easy to spiral, snap, or shut down. In this episode, I’m handing you two powerful beliefs to anchor you when everything feels like too much. They were given to me in the middle of a tough moment. My basement flooded. No hot water. A wave of inconvenience that could’ve easily wrecked my peace. But instead of collapsing into stress, I chose something different. And the results? Miraculous. Here’s the truth: 🔥 You are never given more than you can handle. 🔥 You always have the power to choose how you respond. These aren’t just affirmations—they’re tools to help you stay centered, clear, and powerful, no matter the size of the storm. Think of beliefs like t-shirts: try them on, see how they fit. Keep what empowers you. Toss what doesn’t. If you’re feeling stretched, tested, or straight-up burned out—this one’s for you. Let’s talk about how to stay in your power when life turns up the heat.

  • The Consequences Of Brutal Honesty

    The Consequences Of Brutal Honesty
    Apr 3 2025
    There can be a tremendous amount of fear and anxiety associated with honesty, despite the freeing impact that complete honesty can have on ourselves and in our relationships. This episode was inspired by an article I read titled "The Pros And Cons Of Brutal Honesty". The following quote from the article sets up this episode perfectly: "People that stop growing are individuals who decide they can no longer handle brutal honesty." I believe part of what it means to love someone unconditionally - yourself included - is being honest with them. Honest with how they are showing up, your feelings towards them, how you experience them, what you'd like to experience with them, what you see for them, the impact they have on your life. This show is about rewriting beliefs, moving through fears, discovering your truth, and viewing life through a lens of abundance and love -- and getting there, for most of us, takes growth. What you'll hear in this episode: The common consequences, both welcomed and not, of being brutally honest My experience with being deceptive and opaque in relationships A great free tool to help you practice honesty with yourself STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY?
