🎧 Finding Me with Josh Wolf

Episode 93: Time to Talk

There’s a point where self-awareness stops being helpful…

…and starts becoming a loop.

🧠 The Realization

Josh has been showing up.

Consistently. Honestly. Willingly.

And it’s working.

But there’s a problem:

👉 Discovery without direction
👉 Insight without resolution
👉 Progress… without a plan to stabilize it

At some point, you stop uncovering things…

…and start circling them.

⚠️ The Turning Point

So here it is:

It might be time for professional therapy.

Not as a joke.
Not as a throwaway line.

As the next logical step.

Because if you’re going to open things up…

You need somewhere to put them back together.

🐕 The Morning Walk (And Everything That Went Wrong)

And just to keep things grounded…

We’ve got a little chaos.

During a routine morning walk with Indiana—

Things escalated.

Fast.

👉 A dog fight
👉 Real tension
👉 No time to think

The kind of moment that snaps you right out of your head…

and drops you straight into instinct.

🧩 The Theme

This episode lives in that uncomfortable middle ground:

👉 Between awareness and action
👉 Between honesty and overwhelm
👉 Between knowing what’s wrong… and knowing what to do about it

Because recognizing the pattern is step one.

Fixing it?

That’s something else entirely.

🔁 The Format Evolves

This isn’t just goal-setting anymore.

It’s deeper than that now.

And maybe that’s the point.

Episode 92: Scary Stuff

Let’s start with a serious question.

No jokes. No setup.

Just pure, irrational fear:

👉 What’s worse—
Getting blasted by a car horn when you’re not paying attention…

OR

A hand reaching out from under the bed… grabbing your ankle?

Yeah. Sit with that for a second.

😱 Fear, Ranked

Josh dives headfirst into the psychology of fear—the kind that hits before logic has a chance to catch up.

• Sudden noise vs. primal terror

• Startle response vs. full-body panic

• Reality vs. imagination

Because one of those things is real.

The other… shouldn’t be.

And somehow, they land exactly the same.

🚗 The Real-World Anxiety

From imaginary horrors… to a very real problem.

This weekend, Josh is heading to Bloomington.

And there’s just one issue:

No rental cars.

None.

Zero.

Apparently, the entire city has decided to go somewhere else.

🧠 The Spiral

So now we’re doing the math.

What’s the cost of a three-hour Uber ride?

Is that even a thing?

At what point does convenience become insanity?

And how exactly did this become the plan?

🎯 The Theme

This episode lands somewhere between humor and something a little more honest:

👉 The things we fear that don’t exist
👉 The things we should fear that absolutely do
👉 And the strange overlap where both feel equally real

Because whether it’s a hand under the bed…

Or a $400 Uber ride…

Fear doesn’t really care about logic.

Episode 91: We Love You, Portland!

Sometimes you go into a weekend hoping for a decent run…

…and walk away with something a lot bigger.

🌲 Portland, Delivered

Let’s get this out of the way:

Portland showed up.

• Great food

• Great people

• Perfect weather

• And crowds that were all-in

The comedy?
Terrific.

And for anyone still pushing the narrative that “Portland is on fire”…

Yeah—no.

That’s not reality.

🎤 The Unexpected Win

The shows hit.

The energy was there.

The connection came back.

But that’s not the story.

🧠 The Cost of Showing Up

Because something else happened.

Something Josh didn’t exactly plan for:

He cracked open.

Not on stage.

Inside.

⚠️ The Realization

This podcast—this process of showing up honestly, setting goals, following through—it’s doing what it’s supposed to do.

It’s stripping things down.

And what’s underneath?

Not always clean.
Not always comfortable.

But definitely real.

🧩 The Problem Now

When you open something up…

You can’t just leave it that way.

So the question becomes:

👉 How do you put it back together?


👉 How do you rebuild without pretending nothing happened?


👉 How do you stay authentic without staying exposed?

🧑‍⚕️ The Next Step (For Real This Time?)

Josh has floated it before.

Half-joked about it.

Pushed it off.

But now?

Therapy is back on the table.

And this time… it doesn’t sound like a throwaway line.

It sounds like a decision.

🔁 The Format Doing Its Job (Again)

• Show up

• Be honest

• See what happens

And sometimes what happens…

Is bigger than the goal you started with.

Finding Me with Josh Wolf: Episode 90

Clean Slate

Okay... it was a busy week. Lots of travel... Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Portland... no excuses, just an explanation for why the whole "I'm gonna theme out each week" business didn't really happen. YET!

Josh DID hit several of his goals for the week, he just needs to focus on one thing: MAKE THE LIST.

It'll happen. This is about small steps, measurable progress, showing up every day.

Episode 89: The Rollercoaster

Not the fun kind.

Not the one with seatbelts and a line out front.

This is the kind you don’t choose…
the emotional one.

🇲🇽 The Stories First…

Because of course it starts with Mexico.

A trip that delivered:

• Some legitimately funny moments

• A little chaos

• Partial hearing loss

• And… a near-death experience

You know—standard vacation stuff.

🎢 The Shift

But then the episode pivots.

Hard.

Because underneath the stories… there’s something else Josh has been noticing.

Something this podcast has forced him to confront.

🧠 The Realization

The swings.

• High highs

• Low lows

• And not much in between

The kind of emotional volatility that feels great when you’re up…

…and brutal when you’re not.

⚠️ The Truth

This isn’t new.

But for the first time, it’s being acknowledged clearly.

Not joked away.
Not brushed off.

Just… faced.

Because once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it.

🛠️ The Question

So now what?

Can it be managed?
Regulated?
Understood?

Or is this just “how it is”?

🧑‍⚕️ The Next Step

For the first time, Josh says it out loud:

Maybe it’s time for professional help.

Not as a last resort.

But as a next step.

And that matters.

Because willingness is the hardest part.

🔁 The Format Doing Its Job

This is what the podcast is becoming:

Not just goals…

But self-awareness.

And sometimes, that’s a lot heavier than checking a box.

Episode 88: You Are What You Eat

Some lessons hit harder the morning after.

And this one came wrapped in candy wrappers… and regret.

🍫 The Reality Check

Late night. Hotel room. No plan.

Just:

• Candy bars

• Potato chips

• And the quiet confidence that this is a bad idea… ignored

We’ve all been there.

Josh definitely has.

And now?
Yeah… he’s feeling it.

🧠 The Takeaway

This isn’t about one bad night.

It’s about a pattern.

Because what you eat—especially when no one’s watching—starts to tell the truth.

👉 Discipline vs. impulse


👉 Awareness vs. autopilot


👉 Intent vs. habit

And sometimes it takes a rough morning to make that crystal clear.

📓 The New Goal

So here it is:

Food journaling.

Not casually.
Not privately.

But consistently—and shared with you.

Because accountability changes everything.

And if this podcast is doing anything right…

It’s forcing real follow-through.

🔁 The Format Keeps Working

• Set the goal

• Live it (or don’t)

• Report back honestly

No spin. No pretending.

Just progress—or the lack of it.

🍽️ The Debate

Let’s switch gears.

Josh wants to know:

Can you tell if someone is a good tipper just by looking at them?

Be honest.

We all think we can.

But are we right?

🎧 Finding Me with Josh WolfEpisode 87: Rockin’ The Roxy

Well…

That’s one goal officially checked off the list.

And not just checked off—crushed.

Josh hit the stage at The Roxy Theatre…

And he killed.

The set?

The kind of performance that reminds you exactly why you started doing this in the first place.

Because the real headline isn’t the set.

It’s what wasn’t there.

No hat.

For the first time—ever.

This wasn’t a style choice.

This was decades in the making.

A fear. A crutch. A layer of protection that had quietly become part of the identity.

And on this night…

He let it go.

Walked on stage without it.

No safety net.

No fallback.

Just him.

The set going well?

That’s great.

But this?

This is different.

Because this wasn’t about being funny.

It was about being free.

Josh credits this podcast.

The process. The accountability. The willingness to say things out loud and then actually follow through.

That’s what got him there.

But the twist?

The goal wasn’t just met.

It evolved into something bigger.

Now the question becomes:

Was this a moment…

Or a turning point?

Episode 86: Find the Fun Again

New week. New format.

Mondays are now for goal setting.
Fridays? That’s where we find out if any of it actually stuck.

No hiding. No spin. Just progress—or the lack of it.

🎯 This Week’s Goal

It sounds simple.

It’s not.

Find the fun again.

🎤 The Problem

There was a time when Josh could go 90 minutes on stage and still want more.

Now?

Thirty minutes in… and something shifts.

Not burnout exactly.
Not failure.

Just… disconnect.

That feeling when you’re doing the thing you love—but it’s not hitting the same way anymore.

🧠 The Reality

This isn’t about stand-up.

It’s about something bigger:

👉 What happens when passion starts to feel like obligation
👉 When muscle memory replaces curiosity
👉 When you’re still “good”… but no longer alive in it

And the uncomfortable truth?

Most people never fix that.

They just adjust to it.

✈️ The Test

This weekend: Portland

One of Josh’s favorite cities.

A place where, historically… everything clicks.

So this becomes the proving ground.

Not for the set.
Not for the crowd.

But for the feeling.

🔁 The New Format

• Monday: Set the goal

• Friday: Face the result

No overthinking. No endless analysis.

Just:

Did it work… or didn’t it?

🔜 Friday Check-In

Did he find it?

Did the energy come back?

Or is this something deeper than a bad stretch?

We’ll find out.

🎧 Finding Me — Episode 85: Seven-Out-of-Tenning It

Josh had a realization this week—and it wasn’t subtle.

He’s been living his life at about a seven out of ten.

Not failing. Not falling apart. Just… not pushing.
In the gym. In his work. Even on this podcast.

And once you see that pattern, you can’t unsee it.

Because seven-out-of-tenning it is comfortable. It’s safe. It’s just good enough to avoid real consequences—but never good enough to create real momentum. It’s the space where effort gets negotiated, where potential gets managed instead of maximized.

And Josh knows it’s not new.

It’s a lifelong pattern.

The difference now? He’s actually calling it out—and more importantly, he’s done with it.

No big speech. No overnight transformation. Just awareness… and a decision to stop coasting. To push harder. To show up differently. To close that gap between what he’s capable of and what he’s been settling for.

And yeah—you’re going to watch it happen in real time.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Finding Me without a little chaos on the side.

Josh also officially hits his breaking point with the Red Sox. Years of loyalty… gone. Over it. Done. Which raises a very real question:

If you’re leaving your team… where do you go?

Is there such a thing as a “clean break” in sports fandom? Or are you just carrying the same emotional baggage into a new jersey?

🎧 Finding Me — Episode 84: The Fallout

The diagnosis was yesterday.
Today… it lingers.

Josh woke up still stuck in it—the quiet weight of what the cardiologist said, replaying in the background like a line you can’t un-hear. Hypertension. Not a crisis, but not nothing either. The kind of news that doesn’t stop your life… it just changes how you move through it.

And suddenly, everything feels like a question.

Is it safe to work out?
If he pushes too hard—like he always does—what actually happens?
Is this something you manage… or something that manages you?

Because when it comes to your heart, there’s no such thing as casual curiosity. The stakes feel higher, even if the reality hasn’t changed overnight.

So Josh does what most people do when they don’t have enough information—he fills in the blanks with worst-case scenarios. The mind goes there fast. Faster than logic. Faster than reassurance.

Which is why he decides to pause. Not stop—just pause. Ease off the gas. Trade intensity for moderation. A little stretching at the gym instead of pushing to the limit. Not out of fear exactly… but out of respect for what he doesn’t fully understand yet.

And that’s the tension of this episode:

What do you do in the space between knowing something’s wrong… and knowing what to do about it?

Of course, because it’s Josh, the conversation doesn’t stay heavy the whole time.

It drifts—unexpectedly—back to an old radio show he used to host. A place where fake callers would come on and say the most absurd things imaginable. “Blind people don’t exist” somehow making it to air without anyone blinking.

Which leads—naturally—to a completely unhinged but weirdly fascinating question:

If you could fake any condition… just for a day… what would it be?

It’s ridiculous. It’s inappropriate. It’s exactly the kind of left turn that makes sense when your brain is trying to escape something real.

Because that’s what this episode really is:

The fallout.

Not the diagnosis itself—but the ripple effect. The overthinking. The humor. The uncertainty. The attempt to regain control in a situation that suddenly feels a little less predictable.
