    146: Unspoken Conversations: What Are You Afraid to Say?

    What are you afraid to say—and why? What we don’t talk about often shapes who we become. Today on Get a G.R.I.P., we’re exploring the courage it takes to speak the truth—even when it’s hard. What is the power of radical honesty and emotional transparency? Silence can be a safe space… but it can also be a prison. We're challenging ourselves—and you—to break the silence and step into radical honesty, because healing begins when the truth is spoken. 💬 Your voice has power. Your truth matters. And no matter how hard the conversation, your freedom is on the other side of it. On this episode, we are asking, what’s the one conversation you’ve been avoiding—and what would happen if you finally had it?

    143: Feedback Unfiltered: Say What Matters. Cut the Noise. Transform Everything.

    What if feedback wasn’t about criticism—but about care? On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're joined by world-renowned leadership coach, author, and friend Donna Karlin, who’s here to change the way we think about feedback. Her new book “Feedback Unfiltered: Say What Matters. Cut the Noise. Transform Everything” dives deep into how honest, timely feedback—when done right—can radically improve our careers, relationships, confidence, and personal growth. We avoid hard conversations in our personal lives the same way we do at work—by sugarcoating, staying silent, or blowing up. But Donna is here to show us that feedback, when reframed, becomes one of the most generous, human things we can offer. We’ll talk about: Why we fear feedback (and how to shift that fear) How to offer truth without harm Why clarity beats comfort And how feedback can deepen connection at work and at home This episode is for leaders, parents, friends, partners—and anyone ready to say what matters, while there’s still time to change the outcome.

    142 : Open forum: Our Voices Unheard; Whose Freedom Counts?

    “America at a Crossroads: Whose Freedom Counts?” In a time when so many are screaming to be seen and fighting to be heard, we’re hitting pause to open up a real, unfiltered conversation. This week’s episode is a powerful open forum where Coach Elix and Steven dive deep into the state of our nation—and how it’s impacting the lives of minorities, especially the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. America is at a pivotal moment, and we’re asking the hard questions: Why do some feel more American than others? What’s it like to live as your authentic self in a society that sometimes demands you shrink? What happens when human rights become political chess pieces? From civil rights and mental health, to cultural identity, religious tensions, and the growing social divide—we’re talking about it all. Because change only happens when people are brave enough to have the uncomfortable conversations. I, Coach Elix, along with my husband @steventhemedium, invite you to join us for an honest, raw, and necessary conversation about the state of America in 2025, and the ripple effects it’s having on all of us—especially those in marginalized communities. Remember: behind the headlines are real people. Real lives. Real stories. This is your invitation to tune in, reflect, speak up, and stand tall. Because silence is not an option. Who is truly free? Who is still fighting for basic rights? Listen in!

    140 : Unsafe and Unseen: The Truth About Psychological Safety in America

    We are living in uncertain times in our beloved America. More and more, we find ourselves walking in fear—questioning whether we’re truly safe, emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. Our psychological safety is under threat. So today, we’re asking the big question: Why does psychological safety matter? And just as importantly—how can we all contribute to building inclusive, empowering spaces where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported? This episode is about more than just theory. It’s about the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals, allies, immigrants, and so many others who navigate a world that often feels unsafe simply for being who they are. And I am honored—truly honored—to be joined by someone who brings a rare combination of both personal insight and professional wisdom to this vital conversation. On this episode, join me and my beloved husband, Steven, as we unpack the realities, the challenges, and the opportunities for creating psychological safety in America—especially for those who are too often pushed to the margins.
