  • Identity, Boundaries, and Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be with Priya Patel
    Feb 6 2026

    In this special in-person, dual episode recorded in London, Priya and I sat down for an honest, reflective conversation about identity shifts, inner work, boundaries, and what it really looks like to navigate seasons of change.

    We talk about what happens when the version of you that once fit no longer does, and how to give yourself permission to evolve without needing all the answers first.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • The fear of judgment that often comes with pivots and identity shifts
    • What embodiment actually looks like beyond mindset work
    • Updating your identity as you grow and do deeper inner work
    • Navigating boundaries with others and yourself
    • Why community matters so deeply during times of transition

    If you’re in a season where things feel unclear, if you’re questioning who you’re becoming, or if you’re standing at a crossroads, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone and that you can trust yourself to find your way.

  • Planning 2026 (Part 2): Q1 Priorities & Knowing Your Numbers
    Jan 30 2026

    Welcome back for part two of our 2026 planning series. If part one was about getting clear on your desires for the year, today we’re taking it a step further and bringing those desires into a more grounded, tangible focus for Q1.

    I’m walking you through how to choose your true priorities for this first quarter, how to break them down into simple, needle-moving action steps, and why knowing your numbers plays such an important role in all of it.

    Inside this episode, we explore:

    • How to pull clear Q1 priorities from your 2026 desires
    • Narrowing your focus to what you can realistically move forward in the next 30 days
    • Why knowing your numbers creates ease, clarity, and better decisions
    • Making intentional investments in support, team, and growth

    I also share a bit about two ways to work with me more closely this year:

    • IME (Immersion Mastermind Experience), opens Quarterly- next opportunity Feb 5th-13th, 2026
    • In-person Immersion in La Crosse, Wisconsin this May

    If you’re craving deeper support, community, and intentional space to think, plan, and move forward, those details are waiting for you in the links above.

    It’s always better when you don’t have to do it alone!

  • Training, Trust, and 48.6 Miles Later: My Dopey Challenge Reflection
    Jan 23 2026

    One week after finishing the Dopey Challenge, I finally had the space to sit down and reflect on what this experience truly gave me beyond the miles, the medals, and the early mornings.

    In this episode, I walk you through the full experience from how I found out about the Dopey Challenge, why I chose to run with Team Fox in honor of my grandfather, and what six months of training really looked like, to the unexpected lessons that followed me long after crossing the finish line.

    This wasn’t about pace. It wasn’t about PRs. It was about learning how to listen to my body, fuel myself without guilt, say no without fear, and allow something hard to also be joyful.

    Here’s what I reflect on in this episode:

    • What the Dopey Challenge actually is and why it’s such a unique experience.
    • What 28 weeks of training taught me about commitment, boundaries, and self-trust.
    • How fueling, hydration, sleep, and recovery completely changed how my body responded.
    • The deeper “why” behind running.
    • How these lessons are now showing up in my life and business in small, meaningful ways

    I also share why this won’t be my last Dopey and how this experience reshaped the way I make decisions, trust myself, and show up without overthinking.

    This episode isn’t really about running. It’s about what happens when you commit to something that stretches you, and allow the journey to change you along the way.
