Episode 65

Today on Coaching The Brave, we’re sitting down with someone whose work speaks directly to the people carrying the heaviest loads — the leaders, the responders, the high‑responsibility professionals who don’t have the luxury of slowing down. And yet, they’re the ones who need support the most.

Russ ‘Hoz’ Hosmer is the Founder and Chief Performance Advisor of Constant Progression™, a behavioral concepts and human performance company built on one mission: helping people close the gap between what they’re capable of… and what they consistently execute. Russ is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, a published researcher, a former Physical Training Advisor for the Marine Corps, and a high‑performance strategist who blends behavioral science, neuroscience‑informed regulation, identity‑based habit architecture, and ethical leadership into practical, real‑world frameworks.

His signature system, The Behavioral Blueprint™, isn’t motivational fluff — it’s grounded, evidence‑based strategy for people who carry responsibility. Russ works with executives, entrepreneurs, first responders, veterans, and organizations who need clarity, emotional regulation, disciplined execution, and sustainable growth. And he delivers it in a way that feels human, accessible, and deeply accountable.

In today’s conversation, we explore the psychology behind performance, the identity shifts that happen under pressure, and the quiet battles leaders face when they’re expected to be strong for everyone else. Russ brings a level of honesty, discipline, and compassion that aligns beautifully with the heart of this podcast — supporting those who serve, lead, and show up even when it’s hard.

If you’re navigating transition, leadership, burnout, or the weight of responsibility… this episode will feel like a breath of clarity.

Episode 64

In this episode of Coaching The Brave, we sit down with Saylene Romero — Army wife, homeschooling mom of two, budget coach, and founder of Simply Say Budgeting. After more than a decade of PCS moves, deployments, and constant transition, Saylene learned how to build financial stability, pay off debt, and create flexible income that supports her family no matter where the Army sends them.

Today, she teaches families how to take control of their money and mentors women who want to build portable, purpose‑driven businesses that fit their lifestyle. Saylene’s story is a powerful reminder that military spouses can dream bigger, earn confidently, and build a life they’re proud of — even in the middle of military chaos.

If you’re ready to feel more empowered with your finances, create flexible income, or finally build the life you’ve been imagining, this episode will give you the clarity and encouragement you’ve been craving.

Episode 62 I had the honor of interviewing our first Marine Corps Veteran. This episode shares an emotional, deeply human story about service, identity, guilt, and rebuilding life after unimaginable loss. In this episode, he opens up about serving right before 9/11 — carrying the weight of not deploying with his brothers — and the heartbreak of losing his young child while working out of state. His journey through grief, transition, injury, and rediscovering purpose fuels the mission behind the Chat 62 Podcast: A Veteran-focused storytelling platform centered on honest conversations about service, identity, mental health, and life after the uniform. He brings a grounded, relatable approach to interviewing fellow Veterans—creating space for stories that often go untold., mental health conversations, and reminders that none of us walk this road alone.

-Erik’s daughter lived with a courage that didn’t need words. She faced diabetes with a quiet strength, and even in her hardest moments, she brought joy into her family’s world. Her passing left a space that can never be filled, but her love remains, shaping the man Erik is today. This episode stands as a tribute to her life, her bravery, and the bond that continues beyond loss.

Episode 61.5

In this episode of Coaching The Brave, we’re breaking down one of the most confusing parts of modern health: why sugar shows up in almost everything, how it impacts your body, and what it really means when your doctor starts talking about A1C, insulin, and blood sugar levels.

Iovanna Chase, Holistic Life Coach and creator of a 12‑week A1C‑support program, shares how mindset, awareness, and daily habits play a powerful role in your health journey. She’s helped clients become more confident, more assertive, and more educated about their bodies — with many seeing meaningful improvements in their A1C within weeks.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed after a doctor’s visit, confused by labels, or scared about the possibility of pre‑diabetes or Type 2, this episode will help you understand the basics, calm the fear, and start building a healthier relationship with your body.

This is your reminder: your mindset matters, your habits matter, and you’re capable of change.

Episode 61

In this episode of Coaching The Brave, we’re sitting down with a guest whose journey speaks directly to military spouses, women seeking identity, and anyone trying to stay grounded through constant change.

She’s a former Air Force member and an Army military spouse of ten years, currently stationed at JBLM with her husband and their two children — and preparing for a big move to Germany at the end of the year. After years of PCS moves, Dual Military in Different Branches, new duty stations, and the emotional weight of military life, she discovered the importance of having a passion and identity that belongs to her, not just the uniform or the lifestyle.

For her, that passion was always books, but evolved in the influence of what books could offer others. Reading them, loving them, and creating content that brings joy, creativity, and connection into her world. What started as a simple hobby has grown into a meaningful anchor — a reminder that military spouses deserve their own voice, their own interests, and their own space to thrive.

Which is why on this episode of all episodes I'd love for you to join us as she shares her story, her heart, and the empowering message that you can build a life you love, even in a world that’s always moving.

Her story encompasses the mission of why I created this podcast and so my hopes is that you find a spark in your soul to do find the thing you love the most and just take a small action towards that passion.

Today, Candice empowers women to reconnect with themselves, rebuild their inner foundations, and step into confidence, alignment, and self‑love. Her intuitive approach helps clients break cycles, release old patterns, and rise into the life they truly want to live.

In this episode of Coaching The Brave, Candice opens up about military Girlfriend/Spouse life, healing through transition, and the power of intuitive coaching.
