Your mind isn’t sabotaging you — it’s trying to protect you.
 The problem is, protection can quietly turn into self-limitation.

In this episode of Blah, Blah, Blah… Something Wellness, Tami Sharp is joined by Chris Zamora, Mike Brown, and Rayne Gray for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about goal-setting, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, discipline, and why so many capable people stall right before real momentum takes hold.

Using real coaching stories, first-responder experience, and the unexpectedly accurate metaphor from The Waterboy, the group breaks down how the subconscious mind operates like an overprotective parent — well-intentioned, but often keeping us from growth, leadership, health, and long-term fulfillment.

This conversation is especially relevant for law enforcement, fire service, first responders, leaders, and anyone navigating change, promotion, retirement, or identity shifts, but the insights apply far beyond the badge.
