  • SELF-IMPROVEMENT

Brent Walsh has spent most of his adult life (27 years) playing in traffic, driving coast-to-coast across the United States. He started his trucking career as a 23-year-old female truck driver and then transitioned to male at the age of 32. Being transgender gives him a unique perspective on society, the trucking industry, relationships, the LGBTQ+ community, and many more topics that he likes to talk about. Becoming a life coach represents his latest transition, which starts with phasing out his trucking career, but bringing with him everything he's learned in the process.

    Help Me Help You

    How often do you jump to the rescue at the first sign of someone's trouble? In some cases, helping can be a disservice to the person receiving it. In this episode, we examine motives for helping and the results that come when we do. If you're a helper like I am, you might find this conversation... helpful.

    Please (Don't) Help Me!

    For two years I've been helping Desiree bring one of her lifelong dreams into reality. Well, I should probably say that I've been TRYING to help her, but in this podcast, I'll tell you how my help might not be all it's cracked up to be! I learned a lesson the hard way, and I hope you can take my cautionary tale to heart and take a closer look at your own helping tendencies.

    Playing in Traffic

    In this episode, we look at a few more trucking topics that people ask me about. For instance, why do some trucks go into the weigh stations and some don't? And why do trucks take so long to pass each other on the interstate? These are questions that my fellow motorists ask me when they find out I'm a truck driver. So join me for this episode and I'll fill you in.

    Walter's Instruction

    Walter is a kind, gentle soul who almost chased me away on my first day on the job! In this episode I answer some of the common questions people ask me about trucking, and I tell you the story about Walter teaching me how to train students at a trucking school. After the first day, he didn't know if I'd return to work for a second day of his kind but relentless instruction. But he was instrumental in helping me learn to teach trucking, and I will always be grateful for that. Note: The sound quality in this episode is worse than usual. Please pardon the imperfections.

    A Handy Transition

    Losing the ability to do something you've always been able to do is perhaps the most foreign transition you can go through - and the hardest to admit. When I realized I was losing my ability to engage in a favorite hobby, I grieved the loss and looked for ways to regain it. Transitions begin with an ending, even if we don't want to admit it.

    What Did You Say?

    Our words are powerful things, and most of us have no idea how they affect other people. They can either work like acid, resulting in corrosion or rust, or they can work like fertilizer, resulting in growth, empowerment, and stronger self-esteem. In this episode, I reminisce about the words I heard from my mother when I was a kid and the ones my partner Desiree says to me as an adult. The affect they have on me is remarkably similar, even though they're decades apart.

    Don't Go To Bed Angry

    "Don't go to bed angry." It's advice you've probably heard all your life, but I don't think it's necessarily a one-size-fits-all approach to conflict resolution. Tune in to find out why this advice doesn't work for me.
