The Habit That Took Everything From Her 🥀

Despite being the most digitally connected generation, young adults report feeling the loneliest. The truth? Who—and what—you surround yourself with shapes your future.
💔 Meet Lizzie. At 21, she was a mother, an artist, and completely alone. Her friends had moved on, her dreams felt distant, and the quiet nights became unbearable. Drinking numbed the pain—until it became her escape.
But who you choose to admire and copy determines who you become.
One night, Lizzie finally saw her reflection for what it was: a warning. She knew if she wanted a different life, she had to start choosing different influences.
She tried. She reached out. She fought to rebuild. But the thing about habits—the ones built in the dark, in the loneliness—is that they don’t let go so easily.
And in the end? You'll have to hear what it did or didn't cost her.
🚨 This episode will make you pause. It will make you ask yourself:
Who am I becoming?
Who am I surrounding myself with?
Am I choosing a future I’ll be proud of?
Because you can’t be the person you used to be and the person you want to be at the same time.
🎧 Press play. Your future is listening.

Opportunity Finds the Ones Who Stay 🔥

Most people wait for opportunities. The ones who win? They create them.
Everett thought his future was set—captain of his high school hockey team, a college career ahead. But when the leadership list came out, his name wasn’t on it. No captain. No assistant. Nothing.
Here’s the truth: Opportunity doesn’t come to people who quit. It comes to people who keep showing up.
🎙️ This episode is your blueprint for success. Because it’s not about luck, or talent, or the perfect moment. It’s about consistency. About showing up when no one’s clapping, when no one’s watching—until one day, the right person does.
🚨 Your move: Where in your life do you need to just keep showing up? A sport? A skill? A goal that feels too far away?
Because the truth is—most people quit before they ever see what’s possible. Don’t be most people.
This could be the moment everything changes.
🎧 Press play. Your future is waiting. ⏳🔥

Tech Addiction & Mental Health—The Stuff No One Talks About 🚨📱

Did you know, our social connectivity (hanging our and talking with friends in person) is as much of an indicator for how long you’ll live as your obesity, smoking and physical inactivity?
🚨 Let’s be real—kids today are navigating a world that’s faster and more challenging than ever before. From the pressure of social media, violent content to sextortion, the digital world is throwing challenges at young people that they don’t always know how to handle—let alone talk about.
💡 The problem? Many teens won’t tell adults what they’re going through because they don’t want to lose their phones. Meanwhile, their mental health is taking hit after hit. Anxiety, isolation, and trauma are at an all-time high, and we can’t just scroll past this conversation anymore.
In this episode of Mental, we sit down with Elizabeth Clark, a mental health therapist who’s spent years working in schools, juvenile jails, and trauma-informed care. She’s seen firsthand how technology is reshaping the way teens handle relationships, emotions, and self-worth.
📍 What we’re diving into:
The hidden ways social media is keeping teens in fight-or-flight mode.
How doomscrolling and exposure to violent/explicit content is rewiring young brains.
Why kids don’t talk to adults about online dangers (and how we can change that).
The #1 way to increase mental health. Spoler alert - it's not an "attention grabbing" answer.
How to build emotional discipline in a world that makes it easy to quit, cancel, and move on.
🔥 Here’s the truth: We’ve never been more digitally connected—and yet people feel more alone than ever. But there’s a way forward. And it starts with honest conversations, building and sustaining your mental resilience, and learning to take control of your mind instead of letting algorithms control it for you.
🎧 Tune in, take notes, and let’s talk about how to actually protect and strengthen your mental health in a world that’s constantly testing it.

Consistency: The Secret Sauce (That No One Wants to Eat) 🍔🤷‍♂️

👀 Crazy stat: Only 8% of people actually follow through on their goals. That means 92% of people set big dreams… and then ghost themselves. Don’t be that person.
🔑 Here’s the secret: You don’t have to be the most talented, the luckiest, or the smartest. You just have to be what most others aren't. Consistent.
📖 Meet Trent:
16 years old.
Soccer isn’t just his sport—it’s his dream. ⚽
And he’s never been one of the fastest or tallest, but he is the one who stays after practice, putting in extra reps when no one’s watching.
🚀 Your challenge: What’s your “soccer”? Your sport, your music, your class? Whatever it is—are you only showing up when it’s easy, or are you proving to yourself that you’re built different?
Because the results you want don’t come from what you do sometimes. They come from what you do consistently.

The Real Reason You Keep Giving Up (And How to Fix It) 🔄

Did you know that 92% of people set New Year’s goals and then… completely bail on them? Yeah. Brutal. But here’s the real question: Will you be part of the 92%—or the 8% who actually follow through?
Meet Ava. ❄️ She’s 18, a high school senior in Colorado, and she’s always loved playing piano. But this year, she doesn’t just want to play—she wants to master it.
She starts strong, full of energy and motivation. But life happens. School gets busy. Senior events take over. The piano sits untouched. Sound familiar?
So she does something different:
She creates a system instead of relying on motivation.
Practices 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week—no excuses.
Tracks her progress and gets accountability from a friend.
And guess what? Some days, she still doesn’t feel like practicing. But she does it anyway. And the more she shows up, the more momentum she builds.
The 2026 version of you is watching and waiting. Don’t quit on them. 👀

Flopped? Failed? Good. Now Have a Listen!

Sound familiar? That gut-wrenching feeling when your big move backfires? But here’s what separates the 10% who make it from the 90% who don’t: They don’t stay down.
Jackson didn’t quit—he pivoted. He asked the hard questions, found his real audience, and rebuilt stronger. Fast-forward a year, and his brand isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving.
Here’s the truth:🔥 Resilience isn’t about winning—it’s about refusing to lose.🔥 Setbacks aren’t roadblocks—they’re your training ground.🔥 The question isn’t if you’ll fail, but how bad do you want it?
So let’s talk about you. What’s something you’ve failed at recently? Now ask yourself:✅ What went wrong?✅ What can I learn?✅ What’s ONE step I can take today?
