Go Coach Yourself!
Welcome to Go Coach Yourself!, a podcast to help you get unf*cked and build the incredible life you deserve. We’re Vic and Ryan, two certified coaches trying to change the world one conversation at a time.
In our respective practices, we’ve noticed common experiences or themes that come up again and again with clients. We started Go Coach Yourself to share our thoughts, experiences and tips with more people, giving you tools you can use to navigate your own way through any of the topics we cover. Through these examples and deep dives on coaching topics we hope you’ll gain a greater understanding of what working with a coach can involve. We believe everyone deserves to have a coach in their team, so whether you’re still exploring to find the right coach for you or you are ready to get started, we’re excited to give you an inside look at how two coaches see the world. We’re going to have a ton of fun along the way, and welcome you to join us on this journey!

Summer Shorts: The Stories We Tell Ourselves
What happens when your body panics, your brain spirals, and your self-talk turns unkind?
In this Summer Short, Vic shares a vulnerable (and yes, a little traumatic) story about a failed MRI attempt that led to an unexpected but powerful reflection on the stories we tell ourselves when things don’t go as planned. What begins as a medical mishap turns into a conversation about shame, self-advocacy, and reframing hard moments with compassion.
Together, Vic and Ryan unpack:
- Why our default narrative in a tough moment is often self-blame
- What might shift when we slow down and question that story
- How reframing gives us back our power—without pretending things didn’t hurt
