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 Wrong House, The Right Tree
Let us know what you think about this episode or send us an idea!
How a 65-foot evergreen helped us break the rules—and make the right choice.
In this Summer Short, Ryan shares a personal story about buying a house that broke every rule on their must-have list—except one. It was the only home that made them feel something.
At the center of this decision? A towering evergreen tree, a surprising emotional compass, and the lesson that sometimes the best choices don’t check the boxes—they shift your perspective entirely.
You’ll hear how:
- An emotional goal shaped a major life decision
- A backyard tree changed everything
- Letting go of “shoulds” led to a sense of peace, creativity, and connection
Plus, Vic and Ryan offer a coaching reflection on how naming the feeling you want can unlock better choices—not just in home buying, but in life.
🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever faced a big decision and wondered: Am I choosing what’s right… or what just looks good on paper?
