Welcome to our new home!

Unfiltered stories. Real conversations. Coaching that actually helps.

A podcast for anyone who's ready to stop playing small and start living with more clarity, confidence, and intention.

You don't need to be fixed. You're not lost. You're not behind. You're just ready to stop pretending everything's fine.

Go Coach Yourself! is a podcast for anyone asking big questions about life, work, purpose — and trying to do it without losing themselves in the process. We bring coaching tools, real stories, and honest conversation straight to your ears. No gatekeeping. No fluff. No toxic positivity.

We're Vic and Ryan—certified coaches and real-life friends who believe everyone deserves access to the kind of questions that can change your life. We don't pretend to have it all figured out. But we know how to listen, how to dig deeper, and how to laugh while we do it.

About the Show

Every episode explores a big idea — like imposter syndrome, burnout, quitting, or what it really means to want something — and gives you a way to apply it in your own life. Expect moments of insight, a few hard truths, and plenty of swearing we probably should've edited out.

Just the kind of reflection, curiosity, and truth-telling that usually only happens behind closed doors in a coaching session.

Coaching gave us a way in — to honesty, to choice, to ourselves. Someone once asked us the right question at the right time, and everything changed. So we built this podcast to share that with you.

Because coaching isn't always accessible. It can be expensive. Elusive. Hard to find someone who gets it. And if you've ever thought, "I should have this figured out by now…" Let us lovingly interrupt that thought and say: You're not behind. You're just starting to listen.

Listen Up!
