There’s nowhere lonelier in the world than rock bottom.
It’s a place where overwhelm, anxiety, and uncertainty feel relentless, and the total weight of your burden makes moving forward seem impossible. Staying down is a choice, but it’s one that you really can’t afford to make.
Before you pick yourself up, you need to know exactly where you are. When you recognize where the demons holding you down come from, you can see the path you need to take to fight back and regain control.
It’s not about hacks, quick fixes, or the perfect framework. It’s about facing the hard truth head-on, with squared shoulders, and taking action, even when the easy choice is to stay down.
In this episode we cover:
- The three most common responses to overwhelm and a “salty” alternative
- How to categorize our stressors so we can divide and conquer
- Self discrepancy theory and making peace with our whole selves
- Investing in yourself and the pitfalls of “playing tight”

This is not a “social media is bad” episode.
That conversation has been talked to death. The truth is, very few things are inherently good or bad—it’s all in how you use them. But today’s episode is about how they use you. If “they” were writing this, they’d correct me and say, it’s how we allow them to use us.
What makes the algorithm so effective at manipulating our sense of self worth and exploiting our deepest insecurities? Why do we fall into cycles of comparison, inadequacy, and pleasure seeking that keep us hooked? More importantly, how can we recognize these traps and reclaim control before they erode our self identity and damage our relationships?
This episode is raw and unfiltered, straight from the heart and brutally honest. Brett speaks uncomfortable truths, using current cultural trends to challenge how we think and act.
In this episode, Brett unpacks:
- Self-completion theory and why the “never enough” voice always catches our ear
- How to audit the “feed” that’s fueling your thoughts
- Engaging with content intentionally and seeing things from the other side
- Living the life you’re called to without falling for the pain avoidance lie
There’s so much more covered in this episode than we could ever fit into this description! To get the most out of this episode, and every episode in our library, download our free bonus reflection question sheets. They’re designed to help you think deeper, apply what you’ve learned, and TAKE ACTION.

Lazy.
It's one of the most shameful things you can be. And it's largely a title or accusation we make of ourselves. Why do we so frequently feel utterly drained, craving time to unwind and escape reality?
Is there a way to not just reclaim that time, but to structure our days more intentionally to prevent fatigue from building and spiraling into a never-ending cycle? What can we do to finally experience relief and regain control?
In today’s episode, Brett provides a framework to identify the warning signs, uncover the deeper issues at play, and ensure these feelings don’t erode your self-worth.
In this episode, we explore:
- Psychological insights explaining why we feel so depleted
- How to prioritize and structure your week to optimize work and rest
- Mini retreats, transition rituals, and other tools to mentally reset during the day
- Strategies for filling your cup and consistently showing up for YOURSELF

Have you ever felt stuck or stagnant?
That restless feeling like you’re spinning your wheels, going nowhere fast, yet knowing deep down that you need to break free.
Stagnation isn’t just about a lack of progress; it’s a state of mind that can creep into any part of your life—your career, your relationships, or even your personal growth. But the good news? Feeling stuck is a signal, not a sentence.
If you’re hard on yourself, hold high expectations, and tend to overthink, this episode is for you. Brett shares tips and strategies to help you break free from your own head and get back on track.
Listen in for insights on these topics and more:
- How to create and leverage your own “minimum viable day”
- Making friends with the monster and how to embrace our struggles
- The power of failure simulations
- Why using an “I Got This Done” list may be more helpful than your “To Do” list

The knot in your stomach. That flush of unease when you know you’ve fallen short of your own standards.
The only way to truly adapt and evolve is through real vulnerability—not the gentle, polished kind from TED talks, but the raw honesty that forces you to confront hard truths about yourself.
This isn’t about stepping out of your comfort zone in a clichéd way; it’s about embracing the discomfort and going to war until you’re fully transformed.
Today’s guest, Kyle Holland, knows a thing or two about facing challenges head-on. As an Exercise Physiologist with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, he’s worked in some of the most demanding environments and spent 10 years with the 160th SOAR(A), a Special Operations Unit in the Army. Kyle has also trained professional athletes and MMA fighters at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning and worked with both the University of Iowa and Louisville’s football programs. A devoted husband and father of three, Kyle brings a grounded perspective to every topic he tackles.
In this episode, Brett and Kyle dive into real talk on topics including:
- Taking accountability for your actions when you’re in the wrong
- How to turn your setbacks into springboards for grow with grace
- Strategies to avoid being cut by the double-edged sword of strengths and weaknesses
- Why politics gets us so riled up
- *Brett reveals a major life change and how he’s choosing to respond
We want to thank Kyle for joining us! Follow him on X at @CoachK_Holland and on Instagram @coachkyleholland. You can also find him across the AOC universe—at our live events and online in our digital community.

Audit. It’s one of the most unsettling words in the English dictionary, carrying a connotation of fear and unease that makes people shy away from even the slightest hint of it
But, like most intimidating things, an audit becomes far less daunting once you look at it more closely. One definition of an audit is simply “a systematic review or assessment of something.” Think of it as a straightforward check-in—a moment to take stock of where you stand and where you want to go.
At the end of the day, an audit is really about something we talk about time and time again: accountability. It’s a chance to be honest with ourselves about what’s working, what’s not, and how we can move forward with intention.
In today’s episode, Brett guides you through practical steps to reflect, recalibrate, and get back on track before the year wraps up. If you wait until January it will be too late. Topics we’ll dive into include:
- Assessing your goals and determining when to pivot
- How to measure growth and allow yourself grace when it’s lacking
- Identifying your needle movers and deciding if it’s time to double down
- Letting go of the things and people who no longer serve you
- Constructing an immediate action plan to get started NOW
If you find this episode helpful, check out our most updated FREE Self – Reflection Guide or browse through any of our other free resources!
We’ve also created an amazing virtual course called Blindspot designed to help you tackle the barriers keeping you from achieving your personal and professional goals.
Consider joining our Mighty Networks Digital Community, where you’ll gain access to information, discussion, and a group of professionals (including the AoC Team) who are serious about their development and will help you confront the biggest obstacles keeping you from achieving your goals. For only $19.99/ month (free cancellation at any time) you can take your communication, leadership, and relationship skills to the next level.

“I’M DONE.”
It’s one of the most frustrating feelings in the world. You’ve tried everything to fix things but just can’t get through to someone. You keep hitting the wall over and over.
But what if there’s a way to revisit the problem, to approach it from a different angle, and open their minds (and ours) to new possibilities?
In this compact episode, Brett gets straight to the point of navigating these messy situations, helping you zoom out to see the situation for what it truly is, and recognize when it's time to look in the mirror—ultimately leading to a resolution when it feels like all hope is lost.
Key subjects covered:
- Diagnosing the REAL issue: the most crucial first step to solving any problem
- How to see into your blindspots through someone else’s perspetive
- Two types of errors, their differences, and how to avoid both
- The “Triple A Approach” to ensure YOU aren’t the problem
- Understanding the role our ego plays in the root cause of our discontent
One of our missions as a company is to be a beacon for people facing challenges like those we discussed in today’s episode—whether you want to become a better leader or navigate the scary realities of entrepreneurship. Our 1:1 mentoring program was built to fill that gap and provide you with a clear path to progress.
Let us know how we can help. Reach out at info@artofcoaching.com.
The Apprenticeship - Join us for a live Leadership Training Workshop that will make you more socially agile.

If you're tired of people-problems, want to grow as a leader, or aspire to step into a leadership role, this event is for you! Join us on March 22-23, 2025, in Livingston, NJ, and take your leadership abilities to the next level.

Empty Coaching. Words and phrases that lack teeth.
“Good job! You’re getting there! I like that.”
“We’ve got to get better. C’mon, step it up. That’s not what I’m looking for.”
We’ve all been guilty of letting these clichés fly out of our mouths at one point or another. But do they actually help inspire change or simply fill the silence? In today’s episode, we cut through these hollow lines and explore how we, as leaders and coaches, can move beyond surface-level feedback to foster both immediate performance improvements and long-term growth..
Brett and our guest, Tex McQuilkin, get to the heart of what makes feedback impactful—what to say, when to say it, and how to become the kind of leader the world truly needs. Tex, a national-level presenter, coach, and content creator, brings his expertise as a certified strength and conditioning specialist and holds a Master’s in health behavior change. He’s led seminars in 16 countries, working with everyone from professional athletes to Navy SEALs.
Today’s show is a very fun and honest conversation between two friends and colleagues on a range of topics including:
- Augmented feedback: the different types and how to make each one impactful
- The #1 tactic any coach or leader can use to improve IMMEDIATELY
- Shame as a motivator and our ability to harness negative emotions
- How treating our thoughts as “tourists” can help us defeat our negativity bias
- And *BONUS*: What Michael Myers can teach us about coaching
We want to thank Tex for joining us! Follow him on Instagram @mcquilkin, check out his new podcast, Captains & Coaches, and catch him across the Art Of Coaching universe—whether at our live events, in our mastermind group The Coalition, or online in our digital community.
The Apprenticeship - Become more socially agile with our live Leadership Training Workshop. When we say “leadership training,” we are not referring to cheesy corny trust-falls, motivational speak, or anything of the sorts. We are talking about the things that people say they wish they would have known earlier in their career and life - how to navigate difficult people and conversations, power dynamics, negotiations, and implement change.
If you deal with people-problems at all, if you’re in a leadership position or want to be in a leadership role, if you want LESS DRAMA - you need to get to this event! Check out our entire 2025 live event schedule for the best date and location for you!

Our lives are not the movies.
When sudden, unpredictable events like family hardships or natural disasters strike, it can feel like we’re living in one. But more often, the changes in our stories are subtle.
The turmoil is internal, and we’re left to wrestle with our challenges quietly, on our own.
Today’s guest is no stranger to this real-life push and pull. She knows what it’s like to juggle the expectations of motherhood, navigate life transitions, and manage the chaos that comes with it all. Dr. Emma Laird, PT, DPT, OCS is a board-certified physical therapist at Pro Kinetix in Oakland, California, specializing in orthopedic care. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from MGH Institute of Health Professions and is a certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. Emma brings a holistic approach to helping her clients return to their favorite activities while promoting lifelong movement health. A Bay Area native, Emma is passionate about sports and strength training, values she learned early on from her active upbringing. When she's not working, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé, their dog, exploring local breweries, and staying active outdoors.
Today’s show is a real-world conversation on topics such as:
- Maintaining a healthy connection with your partner during a season of change
- The myth of our “best self” and how optimal is fluid
- Managing internal and external pressures on your career during family changes
- Redefining success and recalibrating your goals to align with your new life path
- The power of showing up consistently as your authentic, imperfect self
We want to thank Emma for joining us! If you’re in the Oakland, CA area and need help recovering from an injury, visit her and her team at Pro Kinetix. You can also find her in our Art Of Coaching universe facilitating one of our live events and online in our digital community.
The Apprenticeship - Bottom line, this is for anyone who coaches, mentors, or helps others in any capacity. It’s for leaders who aren’t just talking about personal growth but are ready for a different type of challenge. Our live leadership training workshop goes beyond the usual clichés. No cheesy trust falls or empty motivational speeches. We dive into the real skills you wish you’d learned earlier in life: navigating tough conversations, handling difficult people, managing power dynamics, and driving real change.
If you deal with people-problems at all, are in a leadership position, or want to step into one—and if you're ready to turn personal growth from lip service into real commitment, THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU! Check out our entire 2025 live event schedule for the best date and location for you!
