Ep 173: Rewriting The Story we Tell About Age

Rewriting the Story We Tell About Age What story are you telling yourself about your age? Is it that you're too young to lead? Too old to begin again? Too late to change careers, pursue a dream, or discover a new purpose? Too often, we allow age to become a limitation instead of seeing it as a source of wisdom, growth, and possibility. But here's the truth: Age doesn't define your potential; the story you tell yourself does! Join us on this episode as we explore how the beliefs we hold about age shape our confidence, our choices, and the opportunities we're willing to embrace. Together, we'll challenge outdated assumptions, reframe what's possible, and discover that every stage of life has something valuable to offer. It's never too early to make a difference or too late to begin again! Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we explore one simple yet powerful question: What story have you been telling yourself about your age, and is it time to rewrite it?

Ep 172: PRIDE, Purpose, and Authenticity: Stop Editing Yourself!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 How much of yourself have you edited to make others comfortable? How often have you softened your voice, hidden parts of your story, or changed who you are just to fit in, belong, or avoid judgment? Many of us learn to shrink ourselves to gain acceptance. But authenticity requires courage. Are you courageous enough to show up fully as yourself? This Pride Month, Coach Elix explores the cost of editing ourselves and the freedom that comes from living authentically. When we hide parts of who we are, we don't just lose visibility; we lose connection, confidence, and the opportunity to be fully seen. Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we discuss what happens when we stop performing, stop apologizing for who we are, and start embracing our whole selves. Because the world doesn't need a carefully edited version of you. It needs the real you.

Ep 171: The Only: Perfectly Yourself. Impossible to Overlook.

How much of yourself are you editing just to fit in? Many talented, capable people spend years becoming acceptable instead of becoming distinct. They soften their opinions. Hide parts of their story. Downplay their experiences. And slowly lose the very thing that makes them unforgettable. On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, Coach Elix sits down with renowned executive coach, leadership expert, author, and respected thought leader Donna Karlin to discuss her upcoming book, The Only: Perfectly Yourself. Impossible to Overlook. Together, we'll explore: ✔ Why authenticity is a leadership advantage ✔ How over-editing yourself limits your influence ✔ The connection between life experience and leadership ✔ Why being impressive isn't the same as being fully known ✔ How embracing your unique experiences and perspective can make you impossible to overlook Donna's book challenges readers to stop shrinking themselves and start embracing the wisdom, insights, and lived experiences that make them uniquely valuable. The world doesn't need another version of someone else. It needs the version of you that only you can be.

Ep 170: Thinking Outside the Box: The Invisible Limits We Place on Ourselves

How often are the biggest limitations in our lives not external but internal? Sometimes the box we are trying to escape was never built by others. It was built by fear, doubt, past failures, expectations, and the stories we keep telling ourselves about what is possible. These invisible limits quietly shape our decisions, our relationships, and our future. But what happens when we challenge those beliefs? What happens when we realize the box was never locked? Today, we're unpacking how self-imposed limitations hold us back and how we can begin breaking free from them. We'll explore how self-doubt, comfort zones, and mental barriers keep us stuck and how real growth begins when we challenge the boundaries we've accepted as truth. What would your life look like if you stopped believing the limits you placed on yourself? Sometimes the box we feel trapped in was never locked; it was built by fear, doubt, and the stories we accepted as truth. Breaking free starts with awareness. It starts with questioning the beliefs that keep us small and choosing courage over comfort. Growth does not happen inside limitations.It happens when we challenge them. Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium on this episode as we discuss: Thinking Outside the Box: The Invisible Limits We Place on Ourselves.

Ep 168 : Have You Ever Been Introduced to Yourself?

"Have you ever been introduced… to yourself? Not the version you show the world, but the real you beneath the roles, expectations, and survival mode. Here's the truth; many of us are living as outdated versions of ourselves. We've outgrown our thinking, our habits, and even our identity. So why are we still holding on? Because it feels familiar. In today's episode of Get a Grip with Coach Elix, we're asking the hard questions: 👉 Who are you… really? 👉 And who are you becoming? Because growth isn't about becoming someone new… It's about rediscovering who you truly are. Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we explore self-awareness, identity, and what it really means to meet your authentic self.

Ep 167:Why Can't We Let Go? The Hidden Reasons We Hold On.

Why Can't We Let Go? The Hidden Reasons We Hold On. You're not holding on because it's right. You're holding on because it's familiar. Letting go isn't hard because you're weak. It's hard because: – You've invested time – You've built memories – You've attached your identity to it But here's the truth: Holding on is costing you more than letting go ever will. Your peace. Your growth. Your self-respect. Your alignment. All waiting on the other side of release. The question is… What are you really afraid of losing? Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, on this episode as we talk about how letting go is not about losing but about choosing yourself.

Ep 166 : Our Traditions: What We Keep, Carry, and Choose.

A tradition is a belief, practice, custom, or way of doing something that is passed down from one generation to another. Traditions are powerful. They connect us to where we come from, the people we love, and the memories that shaped us. But traditions should never feel like a burden we're forced to carry. Some traditions bring us joy. Some traditions bring us pressure. And some traditions… we carry without ever asking why. The truth is, we don't have to abandon traditions, but we are allowed to redefine them. We are allowed to keep the ones that bring us peace, let go of the ones that bring pressure, and create new ones that reflect who we are becoming. In this week's episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're having a powerful conversation about traditions, what we keep, what we carry, and what we choose. Because traditions shape our identity more than we realize. They influence how we celebrate, how we love, how we show up in relationships, and even how we see ourselves. But not every tradition still reflects who we are today. This episode is about reflection, growth, and giving yourself permission to choose intentionally instead of living on autopilot. Take a moment and ask yourself this: What tradition are you holding onto that no longer feels true to who you are? Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we reflect, question, celebrate, and maybe even let go of some of the traditions we've been carrying for years.

Ep 165: The Illusion of Time: The Lie of "Someday".

Do you know that time is lying to you? You tell yourself: "I'll start when the time is right." "I'll change when things settle." "I'll follow my dreams… later." But what if later is the lie? Time didn't stop you. Fear did. Comfort did. Avoidance did. The truth is—there will never be a perfect moment. No perfect timing. No magical green light. So the real question is: If not now… when? If not you… who? Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven The Medium on this episode as we break down why waiting for the "right time" is costing you your growth, your purpose, and the life you know you're meant to live.

Ep 164: What Are You Putting Off? The Cost of Waiting.

What are you putting off? Because every day you delay the decision, the cost grows. Time doesn't pause. Opportunities don't always return. And the life you want won't build itself. But here's the good news: the moment you decide to act, everything begins to change. Not tomorrow. Not someday. Today. Start the business. Make the call. Prioritize your health. Walk away from what no longer serves you. Step toward the version of yourself you know you're capable of becoming. Your future is waiting on a decision. Here's the truth: waiting has a cost. Every day you delay action, you delay the life you say you want. Make that decision today. Join Coach Elix and his husband, Steven The Medium, as they talk about making the decisions that truly serve you so you can thrive on this episode.
