In this powerful solo episode, Stacey Vanthuyne speaks directly to Gen X high achievers who look successful on the outside—but feel disconnected, restless, or quietly unfulfilled on the inside.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “This should feel better than it does”

• “Is this just aging?”

• “Why do my days feel the same, even when life looks good?”

This episode is for you.

Drawing from her own journey—from corporate leadership and security to risking everything to follow a bigger vision—Stacey explores why so many of us repeat the same year with a new calendar, and why comfort—not failure—is the real threat to fulfillment.

You’ll hear why:

• Vision isn’t a word—it’s a decision

• Awareness doesn’t eliminate fear, but it changes how we move with it

• Gen X was conditioned to value control over imagination

• Strategy alone doesn’t create results—identity does

• The biggest risk isn’t taking one… it’s taking none at all

Stacey weaves together mindset, neuroscience, universal laws, leadership of self, and real-life experiences—parenting teens, navigating aging parents, rebuilding trust in relationships, and redefining success at midlife—to show why re-evaluation isn’t a one-time event, it’s a way of life.

This conversation isn’t about blowing up your life.
It’s about building a better view—of yourself, your future, and what’s still possible.

 If you’re ready to reconnect with your imagination, your truth, and the life you actually want, Stacey invites you to join her Vision Workshop on January 13—a space to see beyond your current thinking and reclaim what you’ve been putting on hold.

 And if you already know you’re done repeating the same year, DISRUPT, her 8-week transformation beginning January 21, is where you commit to living from vision, identity, and belief—fully and unapologetically.

The biggest risk you can take…
is not taking one at all.

In this candid, unscripted season finale of Xposed Living: Be Ageless, Stacey Vanthuyne sits down with keynote speaker, executive coach, and longtime friend Rich Bracken for a conversation that’s equal parts grounded, reflective, and refreshingly real.

Rich has lost over 110 pounds, rebuilt his identity, done the inner work through counseling, navigated fatherhood, career reinvention, and personal growth — and stayed committed to the long game when quick wins would’ve been easier. But this episode isn’t about accolades or before-and-after stories.

It’s about who you become when no one is watching.

Together, Stacey and Rich explore:

• Why identity always drives results (not the other way around)

• How self-talk quietly shapes the future you’re living into

• Why comparison drains joy faster than failure ever could

• The power of micro-wins and why they matter more than big moments

• What resilience actually looks like in parenting, leadership, and life

• Why growth requires accountability, humility, and staying in the game

They also lean into the Gen X truth — the grit it took to build what we have, the pressure of keeping it together, and the quiet knowing that there’s still more.

This episode is thoughtful, honest, occasionally playful, and deeply human — created for Gen X leaders who are done performing and ready to live with intention, edge, and integrity.

As the final episode of 2025, this isn’t a wrap-up.

It’s a reset.

Because the edge isn’t the end.
It’s the beginning.

And 2026?
We’re just getting warmed up.

The description is:In this special Boxing Day solo episode, Stacey Vanthuyne doesn’t offer resolutions — she offers a reckoning.After a quieter Christmas, a year of deep personal evolution, and stepping fully into her 50th year, Stacey reflects on what it actually takes to create a different life — not just a new calendar.This episode isn’t about wins.It’s about what it costs to grow.Stacey opens up about love and loss, parenting through uncertainty, service and faith, building a business under pressure, and training harder than ever at 50 — including completing her first Half Ironman. Not to prove anything. But to live it.Throughout the episode, she calls out the Gen X beliefs she’s had to dismantle in real time:Comfort disguised as contentment“I’ll change when it’s easier”Waiting for proof before committingNegotiating with the life she says she wantsThis is not teaching.This is lived experience.As 2026 approaches, Stacey leaves listeners with one final question — not to answer out loud, but to answer honestly:Whether you think you can or you think you can’t — you’re right.So… what do you believe is possible for you?Because a new year doesn’t change your life.A new identity does.This episode is an invitation to stop negotiating…and start deciding.✨ Xposed Living: Be Ageless — for Gen X, by Gen X.

Gen X was taught to be strong.
To push through.
To keep going.
To not talk about the pain.

But no one taught us how to grieve — especially the parts of ourselves that quietly die after loss.

In this raw, unscripted episode of Xposed Living, Stacey Vanthuyne sits down with music educator, coach, and resilience advocate Angie Easley for a deeply honest conversation about grief, guilt, identity, and choosing joy after profound loss.

After losing her first husband in a tragic plane crash, Angie shares what many Gen Xers carry silently:

• the guilt that can surface when happiness returns

• the identity that shifts — or shatters — after loss

• why avoiding grief doesn’t make us resilient, it just delays healing

• and how love after loss isn’t betrayal, but bravery

This episode challenges the belief that vulnerability is weakness and reframes resilience as more than endurance. Grief, as Angie explains, isn’t linear — and it isn’t limited to death. It can be the loss of identity, safety, certainty, or the future you thought you were building.

Recorded during the holiday season — when grief often feels louder — this conversation offers something Gen X was never given permission to do:
to feel deeply, to heal honestly, and to choose joy without shame.

Because healing isn’t about forgetting.
It’s about becoming — again.

This is not just a leadership conversation.
It’s a reckoning.

In this episode of Xposed Living, Stacey Vanthuyne sits down with transformational leader and peak performance strategist Michael Doyle — and they go straight to the moment everything changed.

Michael openly shares how alcohol became a form of numbing during a chapter of his life shaped by music, pressure, and performance — and how a series of dark nights of the soul ultimately became his wake-up call.

Fatherhood forced a hard truth:
The identity he was living could not create the life — or the man — he wanted to become.

Overcoming alcohol wasn’t the end of the work.
It was the beginning.

This conversation Xposes:

• how alcohol and other habits become socially acceptable ways to numb

• why transformation doesn’t begin until the pain of staying the same outweighs the fear of change

• the internal resistance that shows up after you decide to evolve

• why identity must change before behavior ever will

• and how leaders continue to battle resistance without falling back into old patterns

Michael doesn’t speak from theory or a highlight reel.
He speaks from lived experience — from the choice to stop numbing, face himself fully, and consciously become the man, father, and leader he wanted to be.

If you’ve ever:

• used alcohol, work, success, or distraction to cope

• felt the pull to reinvent yourself but feared what you’d have to let go of

• experienced your own dark night and wondered if it meant something more

This episode will land.

Not because it teaches.
But because it tells the truth.

This is Michael Doyle — Xposed.

 SHOW NOTES — CONNECTIONS

Burnout doesn’t always show up when you’re lost.
Sometimes it hits at the height of success — when life looks full on the outside but you’re quietly running on empty.

That’s where today’s guest, Mary Tibbetts, found herself.

A keynote speaker, corporate wellness strategist, and founder of Fearless Wellness Solutions, Mary spent 20+ years leading, creating, and caring for everyone but herself. Until life stopped her in her tracks.

In 2024, a sudden seizure led to an MS diagnosis… and everything changed.
Her pace.
Her priorities.
Her beliefs.
Her identity.

This episode is the story behind the strength — a raw, honest look at what it means to live fearless after burnout, and the courage it takes to rebuild your life from the inside out.

Together, Stacey and Mary dive into:

 The truth about high-achiever burnout
 Why we miss the signs until the body forces us to listen
 The MS diagnosis that became Mary’s turning point
 Rebuilding life, health, and identity honestly—not perfectly
 The boundaries that became non-negotiable
 The beauty and clarity found only in slowing down
 Why community matters (and how MS Nation began)
 Redefining success with self-trust, not self-sacrifice
 And the freedom that comes from leading yourself differently

This is a conversation for every Gen X leader, entrepreneur, and overachiever who has been powering through, pushing limits, and trying to outrun exhaustion.

If burnout has ever been your breaking point…
or your awakening…
Mary’s story will speak to your soul.

“Today’s episode is personal.”
That’s exactly how Stacey opens this conversation — because this isn’t just another mindset talk or another TEDx speaker interview.

This is the episode where the man behind the ‘Success Alchemist’ gets Xposed.

Stacey and Brett D. Scott have shared five years of friendship, failures, reinventions, spiritual awakenings, bold risks, and identity upgrades. They studied Bob Proctor together during COVID, built coaching businesses side by side, and once flew across the world to pitch a TV show called The Perspective — long before either of them had clarity on where they were really headed.

And today… all of that gets stripped back.

This conversation is raw, unfiltered, and deeply human as Brett reveals:
• the limiting beliefs he had to bury to become the man he is today
• the people-pleasing patterns that nearly cost him his identity
• the power of saying YES even when it terrifies you
• the parts of fatherhood that shaped his leadership
• and the truth about “Superman mode” vs. the man beneath it

This is the Brett Stacey knows —
not the brand,
not the persona,
not the polished version…
but the human being navigating courage, clarity, boundaries, failure, and self-respect in real time.

You’ll hear them break down:
 why vulnerability is leadership
 how self-care becomes a spiritual discipline
 the courage required to reinvent your identity
 the lies Gen X learned about success
 and why action — not perfection — is the real path to confidence

This episode is for anyone who knows they’re meant for more…
but keeps getting caught between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming.

If you’re ready to drop the mask, drop the excuses, and get Xposed, this one will hit you right in the truth

Leadership can look polished from the outside — titles, awards, accomplishments, confidence.

But behind every powerful leader is a much deeper story: the self-doubt they had to confront, the identity they had to shed, and the beliefs they had to expose in order to rise.

In this episode, Stacey sits down with Debra Kasowski — TEDx speaker, bestselling author, executive coach, and leadership powerhouse — to peel back the layers and reveal the truth behind her journey.

This conversation goes far beyond her résumé.
It gets into the real work:
the fear she had to face, the moments she questioned her path, the identity shifts she didn’t see coming, and the power of curiosity that carried her through every reinvention.

Together, Stacey and Debra dive into:
 Why self-doubt is often a sign of expansion — not weakness
 How curiosity becomes a leadership superpower
 The courage required to evolve beyond old identities
 The beliefs leaders must dismantle to step into their calling
 Why trusting the timing of your life changes everything
 The truth about keeping promises to yourself and building confidence
 What it means to live and lead “Xposed” — without the mask

This is a conversation for leaders who are tired of performing, tired of perfection, and ready to embrace leadership as a human, courageous, ever-evolving journey.

If you’re a Gen X high achiever who has checked every box but still feels the nudge to become more — this episode will speak directly to you.

Freedom isn’t something we’re handed — it’s something we decide to live.

In this special Remembrance Day episode of The Disruption Xperience, I share the raw truth of what Thailand taught me about leadership, service, and the freedom that begins within.

From washing the feet of women leaving the sex trade to handing out 150 packets of hope in the red-light district, this trip cracked me open — as a mother, as a coach, and as a woman learning again and again that freedom requires faith, risk, and action.

Because here’s the truth: you can’t live free while staying comfortable. You can’t reclaim your power while playing small. And you can’t step into your next level without disrupting the version of you that built the last one.

Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, or rebuilding your identity, this conversation will meet you where you are — and call you higher.

 In this episode, we talk about:

• What Thailand revealed about humanity, healing, and purpose

• How to reframe “hard” as holy

• The myth of waiting for the perfect time

• Why the real battlefield of freedom is in your mind

• How to finish 2025 strong by disrupting your comfort zone

 Recorded in honor of November 11 — for the brave who fought for freedom, and for the rest of us who must choose to live it.

 Ready to reclaim your energy and reignite your life?
