You're not a tree.

That's the message for this one.

It's mid-December. That strange in-between stretch where most people start sleepwalking toward January, hoping a calendar flip will magically change their life.

But hope isn't a strategy. And waiting isn't a plan.

In this episode, Coach Carroll gets real about what it feels like to smile in public while running scary numbers in private. To hold onto dreams that feel like they're slipping away. To sit in your car pretending to be on a call because you're not ready to walk inside and fake it again.

If you've ever felt stuck—like your circumstances have you rooted in place—this episode is your reminder: You're not a tree. You can move. You can change. You can become someone completely different the moment you decide to.

This is the Hunter Head Game. No fluff. No hype. Just the real game.
