In this episode of Try Hard Valley, we’re joined by Kevin Kuhlow, executive coach and licensed drug and alcohol counselor, who works with high-performing men navigating stress, identity, and major life transitions.

We talk about:

* Alcohol, stress, and coping mechanisms

* Rebuilding your life from the inside out (brain, body, purpose)

* Kevin and Yael’s second date, featuring light spanking

* Why Kevin loves the Miami Dolphins and the New York Mets

* Spherical mascots

Plus:

* The fine art of screlting (scream-belting)

* Listener feedback (yes, Christina, we heard you)

* A bold, music-free experiment for the “human voices only” fans

* Graveyard walks

* A reminder that this is still our podcast (plural, possessive)

* Presidential and Prime Ministerial fitness tests

They say “try hard” like it’s an insult. We say… good.
