Hey, Friends and Family.

Even in the months of the podcast season when things are slow, we have content for you. Our team thought it was a great idea to start reviewing previous (but timely) episodes of our show during the times that Mista Yu is away from the microphone. All of these episodes (or beautiful Blasts from the Past) were previously broadcast, but we are sharing them with you at a time that you might need it most. It seems like people are neglecting their health in some really harmful ways these days. I felt like this episode would be a great support to those who might be in that category.

We talk through a practical consistency audit, the hidden cost of scrolling and argument culture, and the way temporary seasons become permanent detours when you stop steering. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a job you “fell into” or caught in loops that don’t move you closer to what matters, this conversation gives you language and tools to break out.

As a former life and business coach and current High Performance Coach, I pull from years of mentoring to outline what it looks like to invest in yourself: build skills that compound, relationships that open doors, systems that protect focus, and a body of work that speaks when you’re offline. We also reflect on timeless wisdom about stewardship, the fragility of life, and making the most of every chance you get. This is a direct, hopeful call to stop gambling with your gifts and start building assets—creative, financial, relational—that serve you a
