Working Through Self-Sabotage and the Fear of Being Seen Learning

Note: I’m experimenting with the format of this podcast. Unlike other episodes, this one includes no added commentary—aside from the intro and outro. I’m also planning to experiment with how I share my reflection—so stay tuned for that. Let me know if you missed the commentary, or if this quieter format resonated with you.

Episode Description: Taylor has already taken the leap and is building something she believes in.

In this coaching session, we explore what happens after the starting line, when progress feels slow, self-doubt creeps in, and the fear of being seen learning starts to take over.

We talk about collaboration, validation, the fear of failure, and the emotional weight of wanting to get it right.

This episode is for anyone navigating the messy middle, the part of the journey where you’ve already said yes, but still need to find your way forward.

From Mom Guilt to Intentional Presence (Ep 2)

Creating space for what matters most—at home and beyond.

Episode Description: What begins as a conversation about mom guilt unfolds into a deeper look at capacity, boundaries, and the practice of living in alignment with what matters most. Katie reflects on her desire for more time with her family, and we explore the strategies and mindset shifts that can help her create it. While her story is rooted in motherhood, the themes of permission, presence, and navigating competing priorities are universal. Together, we explore how small, practical changes can open space for what matters most, and the confidence that comes from knowing she’s done it before.

Prefer to watch instead of listen? Full video episodes are on Substack and YouTube.

Coach’s Note: Upon reflection, I see the importance of also having to address how these changes at home would ripple out into Katie’s work. In a future session, that’s something I’d be sure to circle back to.

New here? Before you listen to this bonus update, you might want to start with Episode 1 of Grow With Me, where Carlos and I explore the questions that sparked this reflection.🎧 Listen to Episode 1 here

Episode Title: Carlos: Two Months Later (A Coaching Follow-Up - BONUS Clip)

A follow-up on purpose, change, and self-leadership

Episode Description: During our coaching conversation, Carlos shared something that captured the heart of his inner work at the time:

“If I'm able to zoom out, realizing the paths that I take throughout these questions, it makes me think about what's important to me and what isn't.”

It was a moment of reflection about patterns, priorities, and the importance of pausing to ask different questions.

Now, two months later, Carlos has sent an update.

He’s in a different place. He’s made choices that reflect the clarity he was beginning to uncover during our session. And with his permission, I’m sharing that voice memo here.

It’s a glimpse into what can unfold after the session ends. When something has time to breathe. And when we allow ourselves to act on what we learn.

Creating a Kinder World (Ep 1)A Coaching Conversation on Quiet Leadership, Recognition, and the Search for Purpose

Episode Description: What does it mean to lead with kindness in a world that doesn’t always make space for it? In this reflective coaching conversation, Carlos wrestles with feeling disconnected from the value he brings despite being recognized by others as a compassionate, thoughtful leader. Together, we explore what it takes to stay anchored in purpose, even when your environment doesn’t mirror it back.

From unspoken doubts to quiet breakthroughs, this session touches on ambition, identity, burnout, and the longing to create meaningful impact. Along the way, we reflect on the tension between recognition and fulfillment, and what it means to honor your leadership even when no one is watching.

Whether you're questioning your own sense of purpose or learning to receive the impact you're already making, this episode offers gentle insight into the courage it takes to lead from the heart.

Each episode is an open moment between two people, working through something meaningful in real time. You’ll hear presence, pause, and honest reflection. Nothing scripted, just space for what’s real.

You’ll also hear my voice as a coach and fellow learner. These sessions also reflect my own growth. This project is about making space for imperfect practice, mutual learning, and change that unfolds through relationship.
