What if the only thing standing between you and the life you want… is a belief you didn’t even know you had?

In this episode, I sit down with wealth mindset coach and author Emma Lagerlow to talk about why you might feel stuck—even when you’re doing all the “right” things.

We unpack the hidden beliefs that quietly shape your decisions, the difference between purpose and validation, and what it actually takes to feel grounded in your own life.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure whether you’re on the right path—this one’s worth a listen.

TOPICS:

1. Identifying and transforming limiting beliefs
2. Living in alignment with your core values and purpose

What would you do if you lost ten years of your life? Not to heartbreak, or failure—but to a prison cell.

I sat down with Jesse White, who spent his entire twenties locked up.

He grew up with no real chance… lost his dad at 3, his mum was addicted to heroin and by 19, he was behind bars.

What really stood out wasn’t just what he went through, but how incredibly honest he is about all of it… the anger, the pain, the self-doubt—and what it actually took to rebuild his life from scratch.

He is now running his own business, mentoring kids, and doing everything they said he’d never do.

This episode is raw. It’s confronting. And if you’ve ever felt stuck or like you were too far gone to change… I think you’ll take something from this.

TOPICS:

- Surviving and mentally navigating prison

- Rebuilding life after incarceration

- Turning pain into purpose through discipline and service

What if the life you want is already trying to find you—& all you need to do is get out of your own way?

In this episode, I sit down with Julie-Anne Lee, a transformation coach, spiritual guide, and founder of the ALLOW method. We talk about what it really takes to live a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good from the outside.

Julie-Anne spent years chasing external success before realizing that peace of mind & purpose don’t come from proving your worth—they come from remembering it. We dive deep into the patterns that keep high achievers stuck, why people-pleasing is actually a form of control, and how to reconnect with yourself when your mind is just too loud.

TOPICS:

• Letting go of control to reconnect with joy and purpose
• Breaking free from people-pleasing and self-sabotage
• Rebuilding self-worth through spiritual and mindset practices

What if the life you want is hiding behind the excuses you keep making?

In this episode, I sit down with Ngo Okafor - who is a two-time Golden Gloves champion and founder of Iconoclast Fitness in NYC. He shares the truth about what it actually takes to transform your body, your mindset, and your life.

Ngo didn’t start boxing until age 31. He built his dream gym from scratch while training clients 14 hours a day and raising a family. But what sets him apart isn’t talent—it’s discipline. Relentless, unshakeable discipline.

We talk about why most people say they want to change, but never do, how to break out of toxic habits and mental loops and why starting small, staying consistent, and getting honest with yourself is the only real way forward.

If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time” or “I’ll start tomorrow”—this episode will challenge you to take a hard look in the mirror…and finally start showing up for the life you say you want.

TOPICS:

1. Discipline vs. excuses
2. The Mental and physical health connection

What if the biggest barrier to fulfilment wasn’t stress or failure - but stagnation?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joep van Agteren, a psychologist and mental health researcher, to explore the concept of languishing—a state of feeling stuck, joyless, and disconnected from growth. Studies show that 1 in 5 people are languishing, meaning they’re not clinically depressed but are struggling with a lack of meaning, motivation, and fulfilment.

Dr. Joep has spent years studying mental well-being and developing science-backed strategies to help people move from stagnation to a life filled with purpose and growth. We discuss why so many people feel like they’re just going through the motions, the hidden costs of languishing, and the simple, practical changes that can lead to meaning, connection, and forward momentum in your life.

If you’ve ever felt like stuck in life, this conversation will give you the tools to take action—starting today.
