I'll be real with you: I showed up to record this one feeling like I had off-brand Flex Tape holding me together. 

But I recorded this episode anyway because someone has to go first.

This one is for the coach or clinician who knows they need to make a change. Who has known for a while, if they're being real about it. And keeps finding reasons why right now isn't quite the time.

I'm going to call those reasons out, as someone who's said almost every one of them.

We talk about:

• Why "I need to be more consistent first" is the most well-intentioned trap you can fall into
• How the fear of wasting someone's time is really the fear of being seen failing
• Why your exhaustion is real and also isn't getting better on its own
• The Trust Trinity
• And what nearly a hundred of my own client responses actually say about what changes when people stop waiting and take the step anyway.

If you're in the shit right now, this one's for you.

After 11 years as a Physical Therapist and coach...here's what I got wrong.

In this episode I spill the tea on what I've changed my mind on after many a painful and embarrassing lesson. So let me save you the trouble.

The Nihilistic Valley, manual therapy, the four questions I now ask each client at the end of every assessment, and what I actually think makes a good coach or clinician in 2026.

If you've ever come out of school thinking you had it figured out before reality handed you a very different message...this one's for you.

Dr. Susie Spirlock kept going through the long days to build her business, and the diagnoses no one saw coming...until her body made it very clear that she couldn't anymore.

Susie is a PT, DPT, strength coach, and founder of Move Your Bones — and in this conversation she held nothing back. We talked about the identity shift that comes when your body changes the rules on you. The perfectionism that almost stopped her from starting. What it actually looks like to slow down when slowing down feels like failure. And we stumbled onto a philosophy borrowed straight from improv — "yes, and" — that might be my favorite framework I've heard yet for navigating chronic illness, hard seasons, and the clients who aren't getting better as fast as you want them to.

If you're a coach or clinician who's been white-knuckling it and telling everybody you're fine — this one's for you.

Every journey has a first step. This is mine.

I share why I'm starting this show, who it's for, and what I believe about the coaches and clinicians who give everything to the people they serve and forget about themselves. I talk about what it took to get here - including waking up in an ICU in 2023 with a 50/50 shot at making it out alive - and why I believe someone has to go first and show the scars before others feel safe enough to do the same.

If you listen to this episode and finish with a reason to keep going, even though you're exhausted, then it'll have done its job.

And if it serves you, stick around because you're in the right place, my friend.
