This episode started with a health wake-up call and turned into something deeper. I talk about focusing on the “clean” problem while ignoring the uncomfortable one, how that pattern shows up in my health and my boundaries, and why learning to show up for myself has been harder than showing up for everyone else.

I’m glad I never made this podcast a New Year’s resolution, because I probably would’ve quit. In this episode, I talk about why resolutions fail, how perfectionism disguises itself as preparation, and why real change starts with action, not motivation.

What happens when you catch yourself about to repeat the exact pattern that damaged you as a kid? The parent who's about to lose it in the McDonald's parking lot. The person stuck in cycles they can't see. This is the podcast for parents who refuse to pass their wounds down as inheritance. Real stories, real tools, real change.

R=ACE with GRIT explores blind spots, buried emotions, and the quiet work of self-respect and real growth.

Real growth. Real accountability. Real self-respect.

R=ACE with GRIT is a podcast about the real, uncomfortable work it takes to rebuild yourself. It’s not about perfection, motivation, or looking successful on the outside. It’s about facing your blind spots, keeping promises to yourself, and becoming someone you trust again. Real stories. Real self-respect. Real growth—one honest decision at a time.
