Take Care & Live!
Take Care & Live is a podcast for thoughtful, values-driven people who want to establish harmony between their values, decisions, and direction.
My name is Dr. Stephen V. Peters. I'm a performance and executive coach, conflict resolution expert, and author with 13 years of experience guiding leaders, teams, and high-performing individuals.
The common thread? Misalignment - when values, decisions, and direction fall out of sync.
Each episode exposes the internal barriers that quietly stall momentum: unexamined values, people-pleasing disguised as discipline, the residue of broken trust, and clarity gaps that hard work alone can't fix.
We don't just diagnose the problem.
We turn insight into strategy — so you can 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.

Coaching Is Not Comfortable — And That’s Why It Works
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Take Care & Live! podcast, Dr. Stephen disrupts the idea that effective coaching is built on titles, certifications, courses, or status. Real coaching is forged through lived experience, failure, humility, and accountability. It requires discomfort, reciprocity, and a willingness to grow while helping others grow.
We explore why failure is often the best qualification, why comfort can quietly stall development, and why leadership begins with leading yourself—regardless of your role. Coaching isn’t easy, but when done well, it’s transformative.
