Unblocked

Sometimes the most courageous act isn't holding on, it's letting go.In this powerful episode of Unblocked, I sit down with Hannah Rose — Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, speaker, consultant, founder of Rose Wellness Counseling, and former Survivor 45 contestant — to explore when walking away is the bravest, most self-honoring move you can make.Hannah is no stranger to bold pivots. On national TV, she stood up at Tribal Council and chose to leave the game, a decision that unleashed a flood of public judgment and shame, but it also sparked profound personal growth.In this conversation, we talk about: ✨ How to know when quitting is an act of self-trust, not self-betrayal ✨ The difference between quitting on yourself vs. quitting for yourself ✨ Why shame keeps us stuck and how to break free from it ✨ The sneaky trap of "gratitude shaming" ✨ Why she believes "serial quitting" can actually be a superpower ✨ How mindfulness, boundaries, and radical self-ownership shape her decisions ✨ The one question to ask yourself when you're on the edge of a big decisionHannah brings fierce honesty and hard-won wisdom to this conversation and reminds us that quitting can be one of the most liberating, aligned choices we ever make.If you've been told to stick it out, muscle through, or never quit, this episode is your permission slip to reframe what it really means to choose yourself.If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear this.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Mays - executive coach, founder of Mays Leadership, and a trusted guide to some of the nation's top leaders. With a background in behavioral science, leadership development, and organizational consulting, Kevin helps high-impact individuals strengthen their leadership from the inside out.And that's exactly what this conversation is about.Too many people are trained to manage what's happening "out there," the deadlines, the clients, the optics, the performance. But they never learned how to manage what's happening "in here," their thoughts, their patterns, their internal experience.Dr. Mays brings deep wisdom, grounded strategy, and lived experience to these questions. Together, we explore:Why leadership starts with self-awarenessThe root of burnout and how to dissolve it through presenceHow perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance can become traps for leadersThe difference between cognitive awareness and embodied awareness (and why both matter)You'll also hear about Dr. Kevin's personal breaking point and how it shaped the way he now teaches leaders to access their full humanity.If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear this. Send it to the leader who's always on but rarely off.

My friends!!! Please join me in celebrating 100 episodes of the Unblocked podcast!!!As I was reflecting on this milestone and celebrating all the value, content, connection, creativity, and transformation that has happened over these 100 episodes I was reminded of the value and importance of CELEBRATING PROGRESS.Doing a look back on how far we've come is an excellent tool for helping us get unstuck and build belief that what we want is possible.  It reminds us that there were other times in our lives that we did something we'd never done before.  It reminds us that there were other times when we didn't think we could and WE DID IT.Taking time to reflect on and celebrate progress also helps us see growth we may have missed if we had only focused on the distance between where we are and where we want to go.If you want a coach to help support you in your goals and remind you to look for evidence of your progress, I'd be honored to be that coach.  Go to  jessicasmarro.com to set up a free consult call and we can see if my coaching program is the right fit to help you on your journey.Also, as promised in the episode HERE is the link to the FREE digital copy of The Unblocked Journal.  Feel free to use this for your success tracking journal!I'm so grateful to all of you who have been on this journey with me.   In celebration of the pod, please share this widely, and be sure to subscribe so that you don't miss an episode.Also, please take a moment to rate and review the podcast.  Tell me what you loved.  Feedback, ideas, and praise are welcome.Let's Get Unblocked!
