Episode Three pulls back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood parts of personal growth: roadblocks. Not the inner critic  but the real-life circumstances, pressures, and emotional patterns that make moving forward feel harder than it should.

In this episode, Ryan shares a vulnerable personal story about navigating adulthood alone at 17, becoming a single mom at 21, and learning how external roadblocks can shape resilience, clarity, and purpose.
You’ll learn the psychology behind why tasks feel overwhelming, the three types of roadblocks (internal, external, and invisible), and simple coaching tools to help you shift from stuck to supported.

We explore:

• Why your brain reacts to overwhelm like danger
• How survival mode impacts motivation and decision-making
• The truth about procrastination (hint: it’s emotional)
• How to break your goals into micro-moves that actually work
• The powerful reframe that turns roadblocks into information, not failure

Ryan closes with a reflection prompt for the week and an empowering quote to help you reconnect with what truly matters.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, drained, or unsure how to move forward  this episode will help you understand why, and what to do next.
