Doubt doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you care deeply. It’s not a flaw, it’s a sign that something inside of you wants to matter. In this episode, we unpack: What self-doubt actually does to your mindset and motivation How to turn fear of failure into fuel The truth about impostor syndrome and why it’s more common than you think How to stop self-sabotaging when the fear of “not being enough” hits hard Key truth: Doubt is loud because lies have to yell. Truth? Truth speaks steadily. Truth stands even when you shake. We’re talking psychological roots, inner narratives, and the difference between staying stuck and showing up anyway. This isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about transforming doubt into drive. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Finding love on purpose and in purpose.
From boats to the priesthood... to a love story he never expected. In this heartfelt episode of Made For This Mountain, I sit down with my friend Steve as he walks us through the unexpected turns of his life from dreaming of designing luxury boats for millionaires, to discerning the priesthood, to ultimately meeting the woman who would become his wife. But this episode is about more than a love story. It’s about calling, surrender, clarity, and choosing love on purpose. We dive into: The tension between personal dreams and divine redirection How clarity often comes in the most unexpected places What it means to love on purpose instead of chasing feeling Why timing, faith, and obedience matter more than the plan you had in mind If you’ve ever felt torn between passion and purpose, or if you’re navigating seasons of waiting, this one will speak directly to you. Because the truth is we all know what love is. But loving on purpose, and in purpose? That changes everything.

Healing should be painful.
We say we want healing… but rarely do we talk about the cost of it. In this episode, I dive deep into a truth most people avoid: Healing isn’t supposed to feel good. It’s supposed to hurt. That grief, that discomfort, that ache in your chest — it’s not a sign you’re broken. It’s the very evidence that you’re becoming whole again. I share a personal story about tearing my labrum and how the pain of physical healing mirrors the emotional healing we’re often too scared to face. We also unpack: Why healing is nonlinear and never quick The grief that comes from mourning what “could’ve been” The myth of “getting over it” vs. the power of integrating your pain Why your healing journey isn’t about forgetting the past but learning to carry it differently How healing helps rebuild your self-trust, one painful but honest step at a time If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or ashamed that healing still hurts — this episode is for you. Because the pain is real, but so is your growth. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into: The real fears that hold us back from starting Why building momentum is harder than it looks—but not impossible The myth of “waiting until you’re ready” How to develop self-trust in a world full of doubt See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
