"Don't die with the music in you" - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
Episode 100 marks a major milestone—10 seasons of growth, grit, and powerful conversations. In this special episode, we look back on the evolution of the podcast, the unforgettable guests that shaped each season, and the lessons learned along the way. I'm sharing three of the biggest insights this journey has taught me, along with a look at what's ahead as we step into the next chapter of the podcast. Whether you've been here since episode one or you're tuning in for the first time, thanks for tuning in to celebrate this milestone.
"The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new." - Dan Millman In this episode, we revisit the powerful lessons our guests offered on the true nature of transformation—reminding us that change is both possible and already unfolding beneath the surface of our lives.
"Change feels expensive until you realize how much staying the same is costing you." — James Barbour
In this powerful end-of-year reflection, we dive into the hidden cost of staying the same—the quiet but heavy price we pay when we delay, avoid, or talk ourselves out of the change we know we need. As we close out this year, this episode invites you to confront the excuses, comfort zones, and self-imposed limits that keep your goals, dreams, and potential on pause. Through honest examples and a set of introspective questions, we explore how inaction affects our peace, purpose, and future—and why choosing growth today matters more than waiting for the "perfect" moment.
The biggest obstacle standing between you and what you want isn't your lack of skills or your resources -it's the weight of the limiting beliefs you've been carrying. In this episode we speak with keynote speaker, author, workshop facilitator, corporate trainer, and podcast host Terri Lomax. Terri discusses the common ways we sabotage ourselves and provide practical tips and strategies to overcome them. If you are stuck in a cycle of fear & procrastination Terri offers insights on how to effectively reframe rejection, break free from negative self-talk, and take meaningful steps toward your business and personal dreams. She also explains ways to utilize AI in branding and content creation. This conversation will help you stop standing in your own way and start building the life you want.

Whether your struggle is alcohol, drugs, lust, overeating or some other addictive or compulsive behavior, in addition to therapy you may find a 12 Step program helpful in your recovery journey.
While 12 Steps programs may not be a useful tool for everyone, in this episode I’ll explain how the 12 step model works from my own personal experience. I’ll also discuss some of the concerns and misconceptions of the program regarding the terminology used (such as God & Higher Power) and other concepts that tend to cause roadblocks for so many.

STUDY: Do 12 Step Programs Work For Addiction Recovery?
DO THE 12 STEPS WORK FOR EVERYONE? (alternative ways of thinking)
Why 12-step programs work for addictions | Peter Attia and Anna Lembke
Whether it’s shame, social stigma, or misunderstanding, the topic of addiction to lust or pornography, masturbation, and orgasm “PMO” is something many people do not feel comfortable discussing, especially men. Unfortunately for some it’s a problematic area that’s causing destruction in their lives and distress in their relationships.
In this episode I’ll discuss my struggles with lust & PMO. I’ll also explain what lust addiction is (and isn’t) and share how I found both therapy & a 12 step program beneficial in my healing journey.
Lust & PMO can often serve as a way to numb unpleasant emotions, avoid reality, and provide validation. However, this form of escapism is temporary and can become a harmful coping mechanism that prevents you from addressing the underlying issues like unprocessed trauma, low self-worth, anxiety, and loneliness.
If you struggle with this type of compulsive behavior and are seeking a path to recovery there are free resources and support available.

Ultimately, transformation requires letting go of the old to become someone new. In this Season 10 kickoff episode I will discuss the process of creating distance, severing ties, and letting go of the weaker version of yourself.

"Never Be Defined By Your Past, It Was a Lesson, Not a Life Sentence" - unknown Do you find it hard to just "move on" from your past or feel your trauma from the past is affecting your professional and personal life?

Through his incredible journey, Landis shares how we can overcome the impact of childhood traumas, re-learn to love ourselves, and stop relying on external validation. He also provides valuable advice on how to break free of the false facades we carry and effectively use therapy as a tool to embrace your true self.

“The greatest battle we face as human beings is the battle to protect our true selves from the self the world wants us to become.” - E.E Cummings
As shared by writer & speaker Jonathon Seidl, the truth is that we all wear masks. We pretend. We fake it. We try to be someone or something we’re not. Or we hide. We’re ashamed to reveal our true selves, our true identity because we don’t think we’ll be accepted. We want to be loved for who we are, but we tell ourselves that “who we are” isn’t what others want to see.
In this episode I discuss the masks we sometimes wear to help us navigate through life. While it might serve a survival purpose in the short-term, long-term we lose ourselves in the process of trying to please others. I also share personal insights regarding how to remove your masks and live your authentic life.

I’m growing to learn that we can’t postpone our joy & fulfillment. We can’t hold back and let the fear of getting outside our comfort zone be the driver, instead we need to use that fear as fuel to drive us towards designing our dream lives.
In this episode, I will discuss why time is such a precious gift and why we need to start spending it by living true to ourselves and making the changes that you and I know may be uncomfortable but good for us.
As with any change we are looking to create in our lives...it all starts with our minds, specifically our mindsets. In this episode we will discuss how in order to achieve your goals, your mindset needs to match your aspirations, otherwise, it might hold you back from getting to where you want to be. I’ll share 3 strategies that I hope can help you in fortifying your mindset so that you can use your brain to your advantage in the realization of designing your dream life.
In this episode, I will be diving deep into my personal life story including some of the bumps in the road I encountered living a life dictated by what I thought the definition of “success” was. I’ll also share the lessons I learned and wisdom I gained from finally deciding to take ownership over designing my own life.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the amazing support for the launch of the podcast. It meant so much to see all the love and support I have around me. In this episode, we will discuss more about the purpose of this podcast, what to expect this season, and how I hope to inspire you to have faith in yourself to start designing your dream life!
Do you feel there is more to your life than the 9 to 5 routine? Maybe like me you followed the well-intentioned advice of your mentors, advisors, and family...by going to college, getting a degree, and finding a job in the real world but now you feel lost, stuck, or that you are going in the wrong direction because that conventional path is no longer fulfilling.
Every Wednesday, join Justin Oliver, a content creator, wellness advocate, & personal adventure junkie as he dives into the inspiring stories, science, and strategies to help you create the momentum you need to take action towards living an authentic life that you are passionate about.
If you're searching for the path to designing your dream life, you’re in the right place!
