Take Care & Live: Recent Episodes
Dr. Stephen V.
This show— the Take Care & Live podcast, is all about you — and not about you all at the same time— it’s about learning from and applying our life experiences - at home, at work, or at play in ways that make us better for ourselves and better for others. We’ll talk about mission, and passion, joy, and pain, relating and relationships, faith, and friendship, winning and losing, working and warring, anything that helps us move forward just a little more purposeful each day of our lives! About the Host –– Dr. Stephen V. is an experienced organizational leader and leadership coach. He has an extensive background in Organizational Psychology and Education, having earned advanced degrees in each of those fields. His mission is to help people take both their wins and losses, and use them as a launchpad for a richer, more meaningful life. Dr. Stephen knows from experience they are both invaluable resources others can use to transform not just who they are to themselves but who they influence — from children to CEOs. The Take Care & Live podcast is a vehicle to inspire, motivate, and transform people as they explore their lived experiences for resources that give them the courage to do exactly what the show is named. So glad you stopped by!
Great leaders don't stumble onto talent by accident. They see it because it's already on display. In this episode, Dr. Stephen breaks down three truths about being seen: why your potential only counts if it's accessible, why the person who notices you may never be the one who promotes you (but holds the "informational capital" that gets you there anyway), and why being seen happens at the intersection of a person, a problem, and your productivity. Drawing from Jesus calling Peter and Andrew and two real moments from his own path to leadership, Stephen makes the case that being seen is never passive. It's earned in the faithful, unglamorous work you do when you think no one's watching. Because someone always is.

Are you exhausted from fighting the current rhythm of your life? Stop fighting the shift. When you resist a change in season, you create an internal friction that ripples out to disrupt your relationships, your work, and your peace of mind.
In this powerful episode of the Take Care & Live! podcast, Dr. Stephen reveals how to let life's necessary slowdowns happen without letting them drag you down. Grounded in the truth of Matthew 6:34, Dr. Peters breaks down why our anxiety about tomorrow is almost always anchored to an old paradigm of what used to be priority number one. It is time to stop operating with an outdated lens, intentionally open your hands to the present moment, and align with your current reality.
By listening to this episode, you will learn how to:
- Identify Your Current Weather: Look past your personal preferences to accurately diagnose the actual life season you are standing in right now.
- Unclench Your Fists: Uncover the exact fears—loss of time, progress, or status—that keep your grip tight and your frustration high.
- Leverage Inconvenience: See how stepping into unplanned, uncomfortable disruptions can radically replenish your heart and mind.
- Animate the Principle: Draw inspiration from how icon Fred Rogers and businessman Aaron Feuerstein leaned into deeply inconvenient seasons to secure historic, multi-generational victories.
Stop paying for a season you no longer live in. Hit play, unclench your fists, and learn how to truly take care and live.
You cannot force tomorrow's growth with yesterday's strategy. Turn down the noise, hit play, and learn how to actively participate in the shift so you can truly take care and live.

What if one of the greatest sources of confidence, purpose, and momentum in your life is understanding how Jesus sees you?
In this episode of Take Care & Live!, Dr. Stephen V. Peters unpacks a powerful passage from Matthew 4:18-19 and explores five transformative things Jesus does for every person who chooses to walk in relationship with Him.
Jesus doesn't simply call people—He sees them, develops them, equips them, gives them meaningful work to do, and places them in position to impact others.
In this episode, you'll discover how Jesus:
• Sees you – You are noticed, known, and valued.
• Mentors you – He invites you to follow Him and learn His ways.
• Equips you – He transforms you for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
• Gives you an assignment – Your life has purpose and meaningful work to accomplish.
• Draws you to an audience – Your gifts and experiences are meant to serve and influence others.
Following Jesus doesn't exempt us from conflict, disappointment, or hardship. But it does remind us that we are not alone, we have value, and our lives carry purpose.
If you've been questioning your worth, searching for direction, or needing renewed confidence for the week ahead, this episode is for you.
Scripture: Matthew 4:18-19
Take a listen, reflect on where Jesus is shaping your life, and step into this week knowing that you are seen, being formed, and being sent for a purpose.

In this episode of Take Care and Live, we explore the pressure many people feel to move faster in their careers, relationships, and personal growth—and why that pressure can sometimes lead you in the wrong direction.
Not all acceleration is progress. Sometimes what feels like falling behind is actually a signal that you’re not in the right lane, or that an opportunity isn’t aligned with your time, energy, and capacity.
This conversation challenges the tendency to overcommit, spread yourself thin, and chase opportunities that don’t truly fit—and instead focuses on the importance of clarity, fit, and intentional decision-making before you say yes to what’s next.
If you’ve been questioning your pace, your choices, or what you’re building toward, this episode will help you pause, reassess, and move forward with more purpose and direction for your time, mind, and tangible resources.

Passivity doesn’t always look like doing nothing. Sometimes it looks like being busy, but never executing on what actually matters.
This is part 4 of the Interest vs. Enhancements series.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen Peters defines P.A.S.S.I.V.E as:
Pressure to Assimilate while Someone or Something else Intercepts your Vision and Execution.
Then he walks through three simple actions to help you move out of it:
- Set a specific target
- Leverage the inconvenient moment
- Take the risk to act—even when the outcome is unclear
This episode is about taking back control of your time and your response, without waiting for better conditions or more certainty.

When you get clear about your interests, you will attract both resistance and results.
In this part 3 episode of the Interests vs. Enhancements Series on the Take Care & Live Podcast, Dr. Stephen V. Peters explores the risks of taking on interests that were never truly your own—interests shaped by the expectations of others rather than your values, priorities, or calling.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How unmanaged curiosity keeps people stuck at the passive level of engagement
• Why moving from passive curiosity to directed engagement is essential for growth
• How the Cognitive Capital Ladder helps transform interests into enhancements
• Why clarity about your priorities will inevitably generate resistance and results

Doing what truly matters often feels harder—not because it’s wrong, but because it asks more of your focus, priorities, and energy. This is part 2 of the Interests vs. Enhancements Series.
In this follow-up to Are You Busy — or Are You Building?, we unpack the hidden mental cost of living in accordance with your values instead of chasing what’s easy or distracting. When you commit to the work that counts, resistance hits differently—and it can feel heavier before it pays off.
This episode breaks down why capable people stall when they ignore these internal tensions and how to navigate the discomfort so you can build momentum in your life, leadership, and work.

Not everything that captures your interest improves your life.
In this kick-off to the Interests vs. Enhancements Series, Dr. Stephen Peters explores the difference between interests and enhancements—and why passive engagement quietly drains time, energy, and focus. Through personal stories and practical frameworks, Stephen explains how work, rest, and even entertainment shift from helpful to harmful depending on how intentionally we engage them.
You’ll learn the 3 Vs—Values, Vision, and Velocity—and how they turn interests into lasting growth.
Momentum isn’t created by doing more.
It’s created by doing a few things on purpose.

Sometimes what slows momentum isn’t resistance—it’s overattachment to our preferences or way of doing things. In this episode, I reflect on how releasing personal preference, protecting trust, and adjusting perspective can remove roadblocks for the people who are relying on you. Influence isn’t about getting your way; it’s about creating conditions where progress and people can thrive. When people are relying on you, choosing progress over pride can change everything.

In this episode of the Take Care & Live! podcast, Dr. Stephen disrupts the idea that effective coaching is built on titles, certifications, courses, or status. Real coaching is forged through lived experience, failure, humility, and accountability. It requires discomfort, reciprocity, and a willingness to grow while helping others grow.
We explore why failure is often the best qualification, why comfort can quietly stall development, and why leadership begins with leading yourself—regardless of your role. Coaching isn’t easy, but when done well, it’s transformative.

Momentum isn’t just about activity. Momentum needs clarity and direction. In this episode, we unpack why your momentum must be given a “job description” if you want to keep moving toward your vision instead of drifting into someone else’s agenda. Building on our series about momentum thieves, we explore how to move from dream to vision, define clear responsibilities for your goals, and close the loops that drain your focus. You’ll learn how to apply the structure of a job description—title, responsibilities, qualifications, and accountability—to your personal momentum so it works for you, not against you.

How often do we delay making a move because we're waiting for someone else to tell us it’s okay? In this episode of Take Care & Live, Dr. Stephen Peters talks about a mindset that quietly steals our progress: waiting for permission we don’t actually need.
Through personal stories, spiritual encouragement, and real-life examples, you’ll be reminded that you don’t need to wait for anyone else to say you’re “ready” to step into what’s next. Whether it’s changing a job, starting a new habit, speaking up, or simply choosing yourself — you already have the validation you need.

Are you a young leader facing barriers to respect and opportunity? Do you feel like your age keeps you from the influence you're been looking to have or grow in your work, life and relationships? In this episode, I’ll uncover the three essential leadership traits that override age when it comes to leadership and influence people will trust.
Through the biblical story of a young leader named Solomon (1 Kings 3:22–28), we’ll explore how wisdom elevates your influence and shapes great leaders in every generation—regardless of how young they are. By the end of this episode, you’ll know if you're ready for the influence you seek—and what to do next if you’re not.

Whether you’re navigating a life transition, pursuing a long-held goal, or simply realigning your priorities, this episode will equip you to get clear, get focused, and embrace the beautiful mess of momentum.

No one likes it when their plans get grounded—when things don’t happen how or when we want. But those barriers can actually be the blessings your plans didn’t know they needed. Sometimes, disruption isn’t the enemy of momentum—it’s the reset that fuels it. #grounded #grind #failed #plans #fuel #momentum

Sure, the resistance is coming for you… but so is God’s goodness. Anxiety is the enemy of momentum. Though anxiety can try to bully us, its bite has a shelf life as long as God has anything to say about it.

In this episode, we break down the myth that being fast is the only way to succeed. In a world that’s constantly rushing, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind if you’re not moving at top speed. But what if your pace is actually tied to your purpose? We use the example of a snail’s steady pace to show how each of us has a unique rhythm that works for us. Discover why slowing down at times can be just as powerful as speeding up, and how to find a balance that helps you show up in your best way—without the pressure to keep up with everyone else.

When feedback is accurate, it provides valuable insights that help us grow. But even when feedback is off-base or incorrect, it can still serve a purpose—confirming the path we're on and the decisions we’re making. The key is being willing to engage in two essential actions that many of us overlook.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shows us how to leverage feedback to our advantage—whether we asked for it or not.

Leading like a benefactor means you are committed to being someone who is in the position of doing good for and toward others by giving the full resources of your influence— your mind, time, talents and expertise, without the expectation of getting something in return as your primary driver in the relationship.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. explores five takeaways that you and I as leaders can put into practice that help us transition from being bosses to benefactors in our relationships.

God cares about leaders! And if you’re leading anything, that means He cares about you. These words, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” which put another way is, “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” come from 1 Peter 5:7 .
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. reminds us that these words point to one essential reality — that God cares about your leadership. He cares about you as a leader, he cares about what’s on your mind and he cares about how you are processing what is in your mind — the weight of it, as well as the time and attention you are giving to it.

Dr. Stephen V. clarifies how overcoming the fear of commitment is a sign of personal and professional maturity. Committing protects us from being bossed around by the plethora of opinions and approaches so many of us blindly adopt without being disciplined to intentionally stick with one targeted direction. You'll learn that pushing in one targeted direction to the limit and looking for results equips us to focus on living rather than being in a continuous loop of longing.

Yes, you have peripheral influence, but for it to be impactful, there must be a specific level of personal readiness for the encounter to have any value to people on the periphery–on the margins who "catch" what is seen, modeled, read, or heard. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. walks us through the requirements and conditions that must be met for peripheral influence to have a significant life-changing effect on people you never imagined you'd influence.

Have you been so focused on the people in front of you that you haven’t thought about the possibilities of the impact you’re having on people who are listening to, or observing you from a distance? Dr. Stephen shows us why don't want to underestimate the transformational influence we have on people who are standing on the periphery

Dr. Stephen V. continues The Decision Series. In this episode, he explains why being in a holding pattern that keeps us from taking immediate action/decisive action on a key decision can serve us well and be used strategically to set us up for even more effective impact. We can avoid being a victim left up to chance in these situations even if we did initiate the conditions that got us into that holding pattern in the first place. After listening consider the following reflection questions:
Reflection Questions:
- How are you utilizing the times when you are circling your territory targeted for impact but not yet landing on it to take action?
- How do I navigate the times I’m forced into a holding pattern — unable to take immediate action like I planned?
Need some more concrete support in these areas?

Dr. Stephen V. concludes with part four of this to-the-point four-part, mini-series entitled Unleash the Go! with an angle on a topic that will put our self-reliance and insecurities to the test - our willingness to ask for help.
We all come to the table with a set of resources of our own, be they material, intellectual, and/or relational. Yet there will likely be resources you do not have access to... yet.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shows us:
- the proof we genuinely have respect for the pivots we need to face in our plans or strategy at any level is revealed in just how much we are willing to look, ask and even "knock on doors" to access the partnership and support along the way.
All of these principles can be easily applied to your personal, family, and professional life. These short sprints of information are deliberately designed for you to listen to it again and again in manageable chunks so you remain focused on applying it as you take action.
If you haven't listened to it already, be sure to tune in to Ep. 35: Waiting Is Not a Waste: Four Resources for Rescuing Your Restlessness | Tuesday's Take. It will set you up for this phase of your emergence from waiting.

So the initial plan didn’t work out. It seldom does. Realign your thinking. That’s what a pivot pushes us into – thinking differently about how we attack the goal without losing commitment and stamina toward it.

All of these principles can be easily applied to your personal, family, and professional life. These short sprints of information are deliberately designed for you to listen to it again and again in manageable chunks so you remain focused on applying it as you take action.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. :
- shows us how to put the thinking in check that pushes against our verbal commitment to adjust to the pivot
- points us to a few strategies that tend to the head and the heart as you exercise your pause and reset your thinking so then continue onward

Some decisions need more pressure before they become actions, but that might not be something you are comfortable or accustomed to applying yourself. In this episode, Dr. Stephen shows us what gracious persistent pressure can look like in a decision-making process so that we can land on the one that serves the masses for the long term rather than our emotions in the moment.

Most of us aren't in the habit of sitting through the closing credits of movies. We don’t see them as worth our time, but what we are doing is short-changing our experience because we leave all of the wonder - skills, talent, and creative force people who don't get top billing bring to the work of what becomes a finished product. Dr. Stephen V. shows how staying for the closing credits is a metaphor for life – teaching us what it means to give everyone the opportunity to be celebrated and take center stage.

In this Take Care & Live! Rewind episode, Dr. Stephen V. revisits the question(s):
- When is it in my and others best interest to conform to current expectations?
- When it is best to disrupt the habit of conformity by engaging in a less popular but more beneficial actions?
Conformity is typically a way to create or establish a collective point of view or maintain particular behaviors and value systems. And often the expectation that people adapt to those norms can begin with good intentions. But what happens when times, conditions, and people change? How should we respond.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. helps us grapple with the nuances of compliance and provides some guidance on how to strategically assess the role the call to comply it is having our individual worlds.

There are all sorts of formulas and ideas for what it takes to win. Quite frankly it should be that way because not everyone will fit the same paradigm and no single experience or roadmap for winning and being remarkable is a single match for every individual. However, one this is for sure, people who look to win at any level know that winning attitudes and behaviors are skills that require not only individual discipline but a community of like-minded and aligned people who know how to win and are deeply invested in the process.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. presents a framework and strategies for winning that are key to a winning experience and may be just the right fit for you.

Recently, there have been a few culture-shifting late-night talk show personalities, in the prime of their careers, who have left their lucrative successful gigs to do something else. Their leaving wasn’t prompted by a scandal or a mishap. For them, it was simply time to move on and do something new – explore new opportunities.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. explains how embracing the genius of moving on leaves a blueprint others want to follow and can expand your influence in far more valuable ways than digging our heels into a strategy for permanence that leaves more victims than victors.

In every ordinary "To-Do List" there are usually a few things that if you give yourself the permission to execute sooner than later will actually create the energy and enthusiasm all the other priorities vying for your attention can thrive off of during the course of the day and week. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shares a strategy that will you help identify your Momentum List and explains how giving those few things the attention they are begging for while you are at your best during the day enables you to live a more integrated life, manage time better, and yield a greater return on your relationships and other key priorities.

Congresswoman Maxime Waters went viral during the summer of 2017 with this unforgettable procedural interruption phase, “Reclaiming my time. I'm reclaiming my time!" When the then Treasury Secretary, attempted to pull her off her focus, saturate her with compliments and avoid answering the hard questions.
She needed to reset the conversation. This experience reflects what we need to practice when it comes to ending the cycle of busyness – engaging in a plethora of activities but making limited, little, or no progress.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shows us how we can reset our environment so we can accomplish what matters most, leverage the best of who we are and what we have to offer by reclaiming our time, not just with words but the practices/systems we put in place to protect it.

Dr. Stephen V. provides some affirmation about what it truly means to deliver "your best self". It's not about overperforming, over-exhausting, and being excessively available. Quite frankly, delivering our best self is about stepping up and into moments where we need to reset who, what and where our energy is given so it can be redistributed to the place and relationships that deserve the best of us.

Waiting isn't always our preference, but waiting does not have to be a waste. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. helps us see that waiting is far from a passive anxiety-provoking experience. Instead, it's an opportunity to gauge the situation and genuinely determine your readiness for action as you consider four key elements: purpose, mindset, resources, and timing.
In this episode, you'll gain access to:
- a roadmap to support your thinking and actions while you wait
- specific questions to help assess if you are ready to come out of waiting
- examples of how waiting can be a tool/resource that supports synergy between your patient pause and the journey you are hoping to bravely take

When we ask a leader to be bold, courageous, and innovative; to take us where we have not gone before, it means we are liberating that person to experience our grace for their mistakes...because there will be a number of them along the way.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen gives us three worthwhile ways to demonstrate that grace that helps us avoid giving in to our inner threshold for the patience that leads us to discount that leader and become unduly critical when what they need most is the room to do what you entrusted them to do.

Historically, the word legacy was defined by its authentic definition of “an individual or group of people in action” so while leaving behind a physical inheritance is a good thing and a particularly meaningful act “legacy” as defined in those terms alone is left a bit hollow and limiting. Legacy building is something far greater.
Legacy is grounded in transformational experiences that set others up to not only pick up where you left off but apply, enhance and even expand those traits and actions in new ways. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. offers a renewed, in-depth definition of “legacy” that will equip you to reset your lens on the issue and take action on the “legacy indicators” he describes, in any environment, be it from the dinner table or the conference table.

The act of rebranding is both a move to expand your vision and rethink how you do business. But hold on... this idea is not just limited to titan companies and local community businesses. It applies to us as individuals and families too. While big corporations and mom-and-pop shops have customers, so do you and your primary customer is you.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. walks us through why your look, your name, or your profile is not the baseline of your brand but the culmination of our decisions, one at a time.

No one likes to be interrupted, especially when we've developed momentum and believe what we have given our time to is of significant value. However, not all interruptions are created equal. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. explains that when it comes to things in our lives being interrupted, there are distractions and disruptions – one of them can save you, and the other can sabotage or even downright kill you. Since the types of interruptions we face will vary, we'll need to know how to respond to each of them wisely.

Conformity is typically a way to create or establish a collective point of view or maintain particular behaviors and value systems. And often the expectation that people adapt to those norms can begin with good intentions. But what happens when times, conditions, and people change. What happened to the system that depended on people to comply with it? And what happens to the people who were buying into those norms?
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. helps us grapple with the nuances of compliance and provides some guidance on how to strategically assess the role the call to comply it is having our individual worlds.

There are relationships and opportunities, no matter how appealing they might be that simply require too much maneuvering to them fit who you are and what you need. Rather than supporting you, they distort you.
In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. challenges us to stop forcing what doesn’t fit –– not because you don’t have the talent, skill, will, or worth, but because “making it work” encourages you to settle into a seat that short changes your ability to be at your best.

In this first part of a two-part series, Dr. Stephen V. tackles the challenging topic of Purpose. He defines what it means, its multi-dimensional nature, and purpose's inability to be restricted to a single role, geography, or even event. He then introduces us to the concept of purpose paranoia - the limiting irrational and persistent feeling that others with similar gifts and talents who are exercising them in ways we envision for our life are out to sabotage us or intrude upon the ambitions we have for ourselves. Dr. Stephen V. offers evidence that given the dynamics of purpose, there are multiple ways to see it flourish in our own life regardless of other people's paths, no matter how similar or different.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. helps us remove the cognitive baggage associated with the idea of action in faith, especially as we start a new year. Rather than adopting the obligation to make a New Year's resolution which is often a reflection of what others want for or from us, Dr. Stephen shows us that what we authentically and personally have faith for are invitations to move in faith with anticipation rather than anxiety –– one step at a time.

- Shows how monitoring our emotional need to be heard can keep an argument from becoming an unnecessary war

In this Tuesday's Take Dr. Stephen V. covers the loves affair we have with rushing and how our ability to do things under pressure should actually be the result of your steady endured commitment to consistent planning over time. When we make the decision to manage our lives from that perspective, and the need to rush becomes, unavoidable we can accelerate our actions and even skip the right steps safely with minimal harm to people who can be impacted by our actions.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. talks about the dangers of letting your talent rule you rather than you ruling your talent. He shows us how talent that has been exploited in public but not coached in private is a recipe for making exceptional people intolerable to follow and squanders the talent of the people they are supposed to influence for the better. He also offers some ways you can protect yourself so you can flourish in those environments while you pursue change.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. reminds us that even in our workplace, the power of simply being available to others when it counts the most to them pays huge dividends. Far more than our talent and our skill; far more valuable than our ability to get things done, and more impactful than our meeting those always approaching deadlines — as important as they all might be — is our humane gift of availability.

What rules do you live by? The rules we live by have power and create the framework for the decisions we make, the roles we take, the work we do, as well as the people and spaces we impact, today, in the future, and long after we are gone.
In a reflection on the wisdom and counsel of Former Secretary of State, General Colin Powell who died and left this side of eternity on October 18, 2021, we learn that we have the ability to write the rules we allow to inform and lead how we do life. Dr. Stephen V. shares General Colin Powell's Thirteen Rules of Leadership as a resource and as a challenge to revisit, reconsider and even rewrite the rules that we live by. We must be clear about the rules we use to govern our lives. The decorated, soldier, diplomat, and statesmen General Powell was clear about his and as a result, the letter C came to represent far more than his name or the C average he's admittedly acclaim reflected his high school and college years.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. explores one of the most common stressors leading people to feel overwhelmed, outpaced, and traumatized over and over again –– and that's functioning in roles that don't allow their gifts and talents to flourish. He discusses the difference between skill and capacity as well as how staying in your lane honors requires the willingness to give up investing your energies in building a kingdom/territory you were very meant to rule in the first place.

One of the first creative acts we perform each day begins in our closets. Figuring out what to wear has more implications for how we show up in the world and at work than we might think. The relationship we have with our closet can ignite or extinguish the creative capacities we "wear" in the world and in our work.

Overloaded inboxes, old files, and cloud storage full of notes, documents, relationships, and beliefs from the past are poor stewards of our present and future. Be they good or bad holding on to “old files” are traps we create for ourselves literally and figuratively that keep us from looking ahead and moving forward.

Taking small steps toward something isn't sexy but it is progress and when taken one at a time they start to add up. One of the things that keep us from taking even a single step away from where we want to leave to where we want to go are the self-sabotaging thoughts we tell ourselves that our seemly small inconsequential movement can't make the difference. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shows how we can begin to put an end to the personal mental assault we launched on our own conscience by taking action – one step at a time.

During Father’s Day weekend I had the opportunity to sit down with a man I greatly admire and I wanted to connect with him on one of the things he knows about quite well and that is what it means to be a father. As an insightful and extraordinary communicator, this episode is part one of a two-part conversation on Fatherhood It’s warm, transparent, funny, and does not pull any punches on the topic. We talk about the importance of fathering what the role and responsibility have meant in his own life and the influences that shaped his values and priorities as a father.

What areas of your professional life could use some more attention and focused development? Is it time for you to engage in some professional self-care?
When we are leading people, and that includes ourselves, we must prioritize our own growth. That includes dedicating time to equip ourselves with the knowledge and resources that make us an ongoing asset to the people we serve. When you and I don't own our commitment to this work, our leadership will only reinforce the status quo rather than make people and our organizations better. That applies to us no matter our role – be it cashier or CEO.
In this episode, we'll talk about ways you can take strategic charge of your professional life, upgrade your impact, and add value to your work, not just for where you are and what you do now, but for the future. Let's get into it!...

In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. talks about pushing through belief gaps – that gap between what you believe is possible for yourself, and what other people believe is possible for you! Truth be told you and I will find ourselves in situations and circumstances where people won’t embrace our belief for what is possible and attainable no matter how simple or clear the path to it might be. We discuss strategies for maintaining your confidence and commitment for what you believe is possible even when others have lost their faith for it or have allowed cynicism to hijack their heart and hope from what's right at their fingertips.

The ability to forge ahead move from where we are in this moment to where we are looking to go and who we are looking to become in the future isn't easy.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen offers some support and direction for how we can do just that!

I am super excited to introduce you, yes, you, to the Take Care and Live Podcast!
I’m the host of the show Dr. Stephen V. Peters... and no I am not a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or psychologist. But I am a Doctor of Education and I believe living is all about learning. Learning by it, in it...and through it.
This show— this podcast, is all about you — and not about you all at the same time— it’s about learning and applying our life experiences - at home, at work, or at play in ways that make us better to ourselves and better for others. We’ll talk about mission, and passion, joy, and pain, relating and relationships, faith, and friendship, winning and losing, working and warring, anything that helps us move forward just a little more purposeful each day of our lives!
I’m glad to be here with you! And I hope you stop by as often as you can to refresh, to reflect, and to relish in the value of this one precious gift called life! So let’s get it!
Let’s...
Take Care & Live!!!
