Beyond Burnout: Why Your Goals Aren’t Too Big—They’re Too Small | Ep. 24

What if the reason you’re exhausted isn’t because you’re aiming too high… but because you’re settling too low?

The shift from 2x “tweaking” to 10x transformation.
How your nervous system determines whether you can hold bigger goals.
Why identity—not effort—is the foundation for sustainable success.
Practical ways to align your habits, boundaries, and vision with the person you’re becoming.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in small tweaks and “safe” growth, this episode will help you break out of the 2x trap and step into the kind of vision that actually energizes you.
Because the truth is: your dream life isn’t too much—it’s waiting for you to become the version of yourself who can carry it

Breaking Out of Darkness: The Untold Story of Crystal Rumer | Ep. 23

In this raw and powerful episode of Practically Possible, I sit down with my friend Crystal Rumer—a woman whose life could have been a script straight out of The Sopranos. Raised in the world of organized crime, Crystal’s journey took a devastating turn when she found herself trapped in the center of a sex trafficking ring. One morning, she woke up in a strange bed, surrounded by women in cages—and realized she needed to fight for her life.
But Crystal’s story doesn’t end in darkness. It pivots into one of the most inspiring transformations you’ll ever hear. Today, she and her husband are building a thriving real estate empire, she’s raising two incredible children, and she’s showing women everywhere that generational change is possible. Crystal is living proof that no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve endured—you can reclaim your power, rewrite your narrative, and build a future rooted in freedom and purpose.
This is a conversation about resilience, faith, healing, and the audacity to believe that your past doesn’t define your destiny.

Unlearning ‘Nice’: The Science of Speaking Up Without Losing Yourself | Ep. 20

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling invisible, overlooked, or misunderstood—you’re not alone. Most of us learned a communication style early in life—passive, aggressive, or even passive-aggressive—that helped us survive, but doesn’t help us thrive.
In this episode of Practically Possible, we unpack the psychology behind communication styles and why women, in particular, struggle with assertiveness. You’ll learn:
The roots of passive, aggressive, and passive-aggressive communication
Why assertiveness is the key to being seen, heard, and valued—without guilt or conflict
How attachment styles and nervous system regulation shape the way we speak
Practical tools to bring more clarity, connection, and confidence into relationships, conflict, and leadership
Because assertiveness isn’t about being “louder.” It’s about finding your voice, honoring yourself, and creating trust in every space you walk into.
