If you're sweating over a tough conversation you’ve been avoiding, this episode is the sign you need to lean in because growth lives on the other side of discomfort.

In this episode of The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, coming off the deep reflections of episode 100, this week’s conversation dives into one of the most powerful, and often avoided, tools for personal and professional growth: uncomfortable conversations.

Whether it’s with a spouse, team member, client, or business partner, leaning into difficult discussions is where the real transformation happens. This episode is a good reminder that discomfort doesn’t mean danger, it often signals development. If you’re serious about evolving in your relationships, leadership, and life, start here with this episode.

- Why growth often hides behind discomfort

- Common difficult conversations (money, sex, parenting, leadership, client feedback)

- How to physically and emotionally manage tough moments

- The importance of intent-setting in conversations

1:41 – What makes a conversation “uncomfortable”?

3:34 – Staff and leadership: discomfort as a growth indicator

4:45 – Physical signs of avoidance and fear

8:02 – Why it gets better as soon as you begin

Favorite Quote

“If you’re not approaching tough conversations as growth opportunities, maybe it’s time to ask yourself what it really means to be a leader.”

What if the key to being more energized, focused, and emotionally present wasn’t grinding harder, but pausing more often?

In this episode of The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, I challenge the nonstop hustle culture by advocating for something refreshingly simple: intentional rest. Whether it’s a 10-minute nap in the car, a quiet moment staring out the window, or creating a restful space in your workday, rest is not laziness, it’s strategy.

I'm sharing my personal rituals and observations about how short pauses improve energy, creativity, and presence, both at work and at home. This episode is your encouragement to slow down, reset, and listen to what your body’s been asking for all along.

- Redefining what “rest” really means

- Listening to your body’s cues throughout the day

- How rest improves relationships and presence at home

- Why strategic rest leads to better performance and well-being

0:44 Why intentional rest matters more than ever

3:11 What small pauses can do for your anxiety and clarity

5:23 Changing locations to reset your energy

7:20 Planning rest into your schedule intentionally

Favorite Quote

“Nobody else controls your calendar, you do. So you can be intentional about your rest, just like you are with your meetings.”

WARNING: Get ready for an episode that hits deep. I'm sharing the raw, emotional power of narrating your own audiobook, and why it’s often more transformative than publishing the book itself. If you’ve ever considered recording your story in your own words, this is your sign.

In this episode of Rhythm of the Road, we're going behind the scenes of a recent, deeply moving audiobook recording session at Box 7 Media. With tearful moments, emotional breakthroughs, and authentic storytelling at its core, I'm telling you how stepping into the booth to narrate your own words can break open hidden parts of your journey, parts you didn’t even know you needed to face.

Whether you’re an author, aspiring storyteller, or creative soul looking for meaning through your work, this episode delivers a powerful reminder: your voice matters, and sharing it might just be the most healing thing you’ll ever do.
