In this episode, I sit down with psychologist and author Betsy Holmberg, who specializes in negative self-talk and the powerful role it plays in our lives. Betsy opens up about her own divorce, sharing how she felt emotionally blinded in her marriage and what it took to finally see the truth clearly.

We dive into how negative self-talk can keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns, why it’s often so hard to recognize in the moment, and how it quietly shapes our decisions, relationships, and self-worth. Betsy also gives practical tools to help identify negative self-talk and begin replacing it with a more compassionate, honest inner voice.

This conversation is raw, insightful, and empowering—especially for anyone navigating heartbreak, healing, or learning how to trust themselves again.

In this episode, I sit down with Barrett Young to have an honest conversation about identity, success, and the rarely discussed reality of returning to employee life after entrepreneurship. Barrett opens up about building a successful business, the obstacles that ultimately led him to step away, and the internal struggle of redefining who you are when your title changes.

We talk about ego, burnout, financial pressure, and the quiet courage it takes to choose stability over hustle. This episode is a reminder that going back to being an employee is not a failure — it’s a strategic, valid, and sometimes necessary chapter in your journey.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt shame around “starting over,” or wondered what success really looks like beyond entrepreneurship, this conversation is for you.
