Ep 180: The Conversation You are Avoiding is Already Happening.

THE CONVERSATION YOU'RE AVOIDING IS ALREADY HAPPENING. Sometimes we think avoiding a difficult conversation will keep the peace. But what happens in the silence? People start making assumptions. They create their own stories. They begin to distance themselves while building resistance. Interestingly, the conversation happens anyway but with more emotion, more misunderstanding, and often more damage. The truth is, silence doesn't stop a conversation. It often changes who gets to write the story. So, what conversation have you been avoiding? Is it with your partner? A friend? A family member? Or perhaps even yourself? Join us on this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, as my lovely husband, Steven the Medium, and I explore what happens when the words we don't say become louder than the words we do.

Ep 179: The Conversation We Avoid: What Do You Believe About Death?

Death is a permanent ending of the biological processes that sustain any living creature, according to science. But what do you understand about death? The Conversation We Avoid: What Do You Believe About Death? Death is one of the few things every one of us will experience, yet it remains one of the conversations we often avoid. What do you believe happens when we die? Is there an afterlife? Is there something beyond what we can see? Or is death simply the end? Each one of us has had an experience with death. Maybe you've lost a loved one. Maybe your understanding comes through your spirituality or faith, or maybe you're simply curious about what happens at the end of life. In this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, Coach Elix and Steven the Medium create space for a conversation about one of life's greatest mysteries. Today isn't about proving who's right or trying to convince you to believe something different. It's about having an honest, open conversation about a topic that can be difficult and even taboo to discuss. Because perhaps we don't have to know exactly what comes after this life to ask an important question: How are we choosing to live the life we have right now? When we allow ourselves to acknowledge that life is finite, it can change the way we look at the life we're living right now. Think about the words you've been meaning to say. Someone you need to forgive. That dream you've been postponing. Or that relationship you want to nurture. Maybe you simply need to stop waiting for some future version of your life to give yourself permission to fully live the one you have today.

Ep 178: What Are You Bringing to Life? : Give It All You've Got!

What Are You Bringing to Life? Most of the time, we ask: What am I going to get? What is life going to give me? What am I going to receive in return? But what if fulfillment begins with a different question: What am I bringing to life? What are you bringing into your relationships, your work, or the lives of the people around you? We need to remember that giving isn't a transaction. We don't love so someone will love us back. We don't show kindness because we're keeping score. And we don't give generously because the universe owes us a reward. We give because of who we choose to be. And while what we bring to life doesn't guarantee what life will give us in return, it can change the way we experience the life we're living. So before you ask, "What more can life give me?" Pause, look within, and ask yourself: "What am I bringing to life?" On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we explore what we are bringing to life and how we can give it our all.

Ep 177: When Love Has Conditions: Love vs. Expectation.

When Love Has Conditions ❤️ What happens when someone you love becomes different from who you expected them to be? Do you try to change them, or do you allow their truth to change you? Sometimes, the person challenging the family system isn't creating the problem. Their authenticity may simply be revealing something that was already there. Do we ask them to fit back into the family system? Or do we allow their truth to challenge us and perhaps even change us? Maybe the question isn't whether someone we love has changed but whether our expectations were ever allowing us to see them for who they truly are. Breaking generational patterns requires courage. It asks us to look at what we've inherited, what we've been taught, and what we've unconsciously carried forward. And sometimes, the greatest act of love isn't asking someone to change so they can belong. It's choosing to see them, hear them, and respect their truth. Because love shouldn't require someone to abandon who they are in order to remain part of our lives. Sometimes, choosing love means letting go of expectation and allowing the people we love to show us who they really are. On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, as we explore what happens when love collides with expectation and what it takes to choose love over the need to control someone else's truth. Because sometimes, breaking a generational pattern begins with one person having the courage to say: "This is who I am."

Ep 176: Open Forum :Let's Talk.

LIFE HAS BEEN HAPPENING, AND TODAY, WE'RE JUST GOING TO TALK. Sometimes we just need to pause, reconnect, catch up, and have a real conversation. There's no heavy agenda, no perfect conversation, just an OPEN FORUM, an opportunity to catch up, talk about life, hear what's happening, and connect. Because life isn't always about having everything figured out. Sometimes we simply need to pause, share what we're learning, remind ourselves that we're still growing, and realize that we're not alone in this journey. So today, the floor is open. Do you have a question? A thought or life lesson to share? Or maybe you simply want to call in and say hello? COME JOIN THE CONVERSATION. Today, join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, for an open and honest conversation about life, growth, what's happening, what we're learning, and what it really means to live a THRIVING LIFE.

Ep 175: The Levels of Life: Beyond the Surface, What's Driving Your Life?

Life happens in layers. Every experience has a deeper story waiting to be discovered, and what we experience on the surface is often rooted in something much deeper. What if the greatest obstacle in your life isn't what you see on the surface? Our reactions, relationships, stress, and decisions are often shaped by beliefs, experiences, and emotions that we've carried for years. Too often, we spend our energy managing the symptoms while overlooking the source. But lasting transformation begins when we're willing to look beneath the surface and to examine the beliefs we've adopted, the experiences that have shaped us, and the emotions we've been avoiding. Join me, Coach Elix, and my wonderful husband, Steven the Medium on this episode, for a meaningful conversation about looking beyond the surface to discover what's really driving your life. Our question today is, what might change if you became more curious about the story beneath your reactions instead of simply reacting? We invite you to reflect, share your thoughts, and join us for this meaningful conversation.

Ep 174 : Your Legacy: What Will You Be Remembered For?

What Will Your Legacy Be? If you could write your own obituary today, what would you say? Would it simply list your accomplishments, or would it tell the story of the lives you touched, the kindness you shared, and the values you lived by? The truth is, your legacy isn't written at the end of your life. It's written every day by the choices you make, the values you uphold, and the way you treat others. Every conversation, every act of kindness, every decision, and every relationship becomes part of the story you'll leave behind. Join me, Coach Elix, and my husband, Steven the Medium, for a meaningful conversation about living with purpose and creating a legacy that truly matters. Our question for you today is: If someone were telling your life story, what would you hope they would say? We invite you to reflect, share your thoughts, and join the conversation.

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.
