Unstuck with Jay Abbasi

In our last episode, Jay spoke with Mitch Bohn, whose story of resilience and refusing to make excuses inspired today’s topic. In this solo episode, Jay explores why excuses keep us stuck, how they limit our potential, and what it takes to break free from the stories we tell ourselves. Drawing from Wayne Dyer’s teachings and a powerful seven-step framework Jay uses in his own coaching, this episode guides you through identifying the excuses holding you back and replacing them with clarity, ownership, and intentional action. Jay explains how excuses are often rooted in old narratives, perceived limitations, or protective behaviors,and how shifting your mindset opens the door to a better future. If you’ve ever felt like your excuses were louder than your belief in yourself, this episode offers a practical and empowering path to let go of what’s holding you back and step into who you’re capable of becoming.

Meet Jerry. He wakes to the sound of hospital machines beeping. The ceiling above him feels foreign. There’s a dull ache in his back and panic rising in his chest as he remembers the ladder, the fall, the shouting voices. At 25, Jerry was a proud construction worker, building homes with his own hands. Now, he can’t lift his arm. The doctors say he might walk again, with time, patience, and relentless therapy, but for now, he can’t even sit up on his own. He tells his family he’s okay, but inside he’s angry, ashamed, and terrified that this is all that’s left. Today, Jay is joined by Mitch Bohn, a podcaster, broadcaster, and TEDx speaker born with spina bifida, a condition that left him unable to walk. Instead of letting his disability define him, Mitch has dedicated his life to amplifying voices in sports and creating accessibility through his nonprofit AccessBillings. He reminds us that life’s greatest impact doesn’t come from what we can’t do, it comes from finding our way to what we love. Together, Jay and Mitch explore how to rediscover meaning when life changes your plans, how to transform frustration into purpose, and how loving something you can’t do might just be the path to fulfillment. Notable Quotes “There’s always a way to do what you love. It’s just going to look different.” — Mitch Bohn “Why dwell on the things you can’t change? Focus on how you can still show up.” — Mitch Bohn “Anger isn’t always bad. It can be the fuel that drives meaningful change.” — Jay Abbasi About Our Guest Mitch Bohn is a podcaster, community advocate, and founder of AccessBillings, a nonprofit organization committed to improving accessibility across Montana.

Meet Natalie. It’s late in the evening, and her office light is still on. Next to her sits a cold cup of coffee as unread emails pile up on her screen. Another meeting looms tomorrow, and her team is stretched thin. Natalie wants to lead well, to be the kind of leader her people deserve, but lately, she feels like she’s pouring from an empty cup. For years, Natalie has thrived as the VP of Business Development for a national defense research organization. Her relentless drive has fueled her success, but the cost is undeniable. Most nights, her husband eats dinner alone. Her personal education goals are indefinitely on hold. And every time she tries to rest, her mind races with deadlines and demands. She tells herself, “If I just push through this quarter, things will ease up.” But they never do. In this episode, Jay speaks with Lisa Pachence, Master Certified Coach and executive mentor who helps high-achieving leaders break free from burnout and redefine success on their own terms. Lisa is a “recovering overachiever” who now helps others trade perfectionism for peace and productivity for purpose. Together, Jay and Lisa explore the difference between therapy, mentoring, coaching, and how coaching helps people rise above the stories they tell themselves.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of achievement without fulfillment, this episode will help you slow down, realign your values, and play a new game, one that actually feels like winning. Notable Quotes “Overachievers often follow a winning strategy that isn’t based on their own values, it’s designed to avoid failure.” — Lisa Pachence “What’s the game you’re winning at, even if you don’t want to be playing that game?” — Lisa Pachence “The first step to change is rising above your story, becoming aware you’re even telling it.” — Jay Abbasi About Our Guest Lisa Pachence is a Master Certified Coach, executive mentor, and recovering overachiever who helps leaders redefine success, reclaim their time, and lead with authenticity.

Meet Reggie. The alarm blares again as steam rises from the conveyor belt. Some employees shout over the noise while others stand idle. As plant manager of a mid-sized food processing facility, Reggie has held this place together for more than 25 years. But lately, he feels like he’s plugging holes in a dam that’s about to burst. Veteran workers are burning out. New hires quit after a few weeks. Corporate demands more efficiency, more output, more results. And in the middle of it all, Reggie’s stress boils over. In one meeting, after hearing complaints about impossible quotas, he snaps: “You think you have it hard? Try running this place.” The silence that followed stung worse than his outburst. Walking the plant alone that evening, Reggie realized he hadn’t been caring for his people, or himself.
