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!

What actually makes a life incredible?
Not big moments.
Not Instagram highlights.
Not achievement for achievement’s sake.
In this episode, Ryan and Vic unpack what they really mean by “build the incredible life you deserve” — and why it has far more to do with foundations than outcomes.
If your life were a house… which part of the foundation is cracking?
In this episode, we explore five core building blocks:
1. Purpose – Direction, Not Pressure
2. Relationships – Belonging Takes Intention
3. Joy & Play – Not a Reward, But Fuel
4. Growth & Learning – Stay Open
5. Alignment & Integrity – The Tension You Feel Matters
