In this episode, Rob explores the experience of anhedonia—the emotional numbness that makes life feel muted. He shares a story about a client who was struggling with disconnection, emphasizing the difference between coaching and counseling and how both can work together. Rob walks through coaching strategies rooted in ICF ethics, including micro-moments, micro-wins, and rebuilding identity through small, meaningful actions.

You’ll also hear two practical tips for anyone experiencing similar symptoms and a reminder that coaching is not diagnostic or clinical.

Most people live on the surface of their lives, reacting to what’s urgent instead of exploring what’s underneath. This episode dives into the idea that the “purposes of the heart are deep waters” — and that clarity comes not from forcing answers, but from drawing out what’s already inside you.

If you’ve felt stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your direction, this episode will help you slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with your deeper truth.

Today Rob is going to ruffle some feathers and speak some hard truths about coaching.

The military conditioned you to be self-reliant, mission-first, and quiet about your struggles. So coaching often gets dismissed as soft or irrelevant. But that mindset is costing veterans purpose, clarity, and forward momentum.

In this episode Rob breaks down:

• Why mandatory “resiliency briefings” poisoned the word coaching

• How fake, self-proclaimed coaches damaged trust

• Why coaching is not therapy, mentorship, or motivation

• Why veterans assume they don’t need help

• Why transition wrecks identity harder than people admit

• How real, ethical coaching restores direction, purpose, and mission

Rob also speaks from experience.

He averages more than 300 hours of paid coaching every year, working with veterans, leaders, and high performers who need clarity—not clichés.

This episode pulls no punches.

It challenges assumptions and lays down a new path forward.

If you’re ready to confront the truth and step into a stronger version of yourself, this is your invitation.

Hey friends — before we get started, quick heads-up. I’m recording from my Jeep today, and it’s freezing outside. What you’re hearing in the background is just the heater working overtime to keep me warm. But I didn’t want to wait to share this one — because this topic’s been sitting on my heart all week.

In this episode, Rob dives into the psychology and neuroscience behind self-value — not confidence, not ego, but that deep sense of worth that stays steady even when life gets loud.

. Three Hot Tips to Rebuild Self-Value

• Challenge the Inner Critic – Use self-compassion to interrupt old thought loops.
• Celebrate Small Wins – Reinforce your dopamine pathways and confidence cycle.
• Don’t Go It Alone – Coaching helps activate your prefrontal cortex for clearer, value-aligned decisions — not to fix you, but to help you see you.
