Take Care & Live!
Take Care & Live is a podcast for thoughtful, values-driven people who feel stuck, not from lack of effort, but from misalignment between their values, actions, and direction.
If you’re driven and committed to growth, but still feel misaligned, overwhelmed, or unsure why progress feels harder than it should, this podcast is for you.
Each episode breaks down the internal barriers that quietly hold capable people back: unexamined values, people-pleasing performance disguised as discipline, hidden misalignment, and clarity gaps that effort alone can’t fix.
We don’t just name the problem.
We turn insight into practical strategies you can use to build real momentum in your life, leadership, and work.
New episodes weekly.
Follow Take Care & Live to move forward with clarity, confidence, and bold intention—aligned with what actually matters.

See It Through: Overcoming Commitment Phobia
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Stephen V. clarifies how overcoming the fear of commitment is a sign of personal and professional maturity. Committing protects us from being bossed around by the plethora of opinions and approaches so many of us blindly adopt without being disciplined to intentionally stick with one targeted direction. You'll learn that pushing in one targeted direction to the limit and looking for results equips us to focus on living rather than being in a continuous loop of longing.
