In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Zach Wright, a former Green Beret turned physician at Framework Wellness, who brings an unconventional yet deeply practical approach to health and healing.

We explore how Zach’s experience as a Special Forces medic shaped his philosophy of medicine into one rooted in curiosity, adaptability, and going upstream to find the real cause of suffering. We talk about what happens when we stop chasing “the one right answer,” how black-and-white thinking blocks our healing, and why true health means learning to live in the gray.

You’ll hear us unpack everything from protein, sleep, and stress to the mindset shifts that move you from surviving to thriving. Zach shares small, high-impact actions you can start today to reset your nervous system, lower stress, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still not feeling your best, this conversation will give you hope, direction, and a few laughs along the way.

Letting go sounds beautiful in theory…until you’re the one standing in the middle of it. Even when we know it’s time for change, transitions can be messy, emotional, and full of uncertainty.

In this episode of Unblocked, I sit down with Katie Pulsifer, Master Certified Coach and mentor to thousands of coaches, for a real, honest, and deeply human conversation about what it takes to move through change without losing yourself in the process.

We talk about:

• Why transitions are so emotionally charged (even when they’re right for us)
• How to tell the difference between fear and intuition
• What self-leadership really looks like in everyday life
• How to stop letting urgency lead the way
• And the power of living as your Whole, Wise, and Worthy self

Katie’s wisdom is equal parts grounded and practical. She doesn’t sugarcoat the process. She tells the truth about what it takes to lead yourself with grace, compassion, and courage, even in the in-between.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or scared to let go of something familiar, this episode will remind you that discomfort doesn’t mean you’re off-path. It means you’re evolving.

In this episode, I’m joined by health and self-leadership coach Courtney Townley for a conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about consistency, health, and personal growth.

Courtney has spent nearly three decades helping women cut through the noise of wellness culture and reconnect to themselves through self-trust, not self-control. Her new book, The Consistency Code: A Midlife Woman’s Guide to Deep Health and Happiness, offers a powerful framework for creating alignment, resilience, and peace from the inside out.

We talk about what it means to live in integrity, how to recognize and heal what Courtney calls “integrity pain,” and why the ability to fail well might be one of the most important skills we can ever learn. We also explore how self-awareness and compassion can coexist with discipline and devotion, and how that blend of grace and grit is the key to true, lasting change.
