Take Care & Live!
Take Care & Live is a podcast for thoughtful, values-driven people who feel stuck, not from lack of effort, but from misalignment between their values, actions, and direction.
If you’re driven and committed to growth, but still feel misaligned, overwhelmed, or unsure why progress feels harder than it should, this podcast is for you.
Each episode breaks down the internal barriers that quietly hold capable people back: unexamined values, people-pleasing performance disguised as discipline, hidden misalignment, and clarity gaps that effort alone can’t fix.
We don’t just name the problem.
We turn insight into practical strategies you can use to build real momentum in your life, leadership, and work.
New episodes weekly.
Follow Take Care & Live to move forward with clarity, confidence, and bold intention—aligned with what actually matters.
