Take Care & Live!
Take Care & Live is a podcast for thoughtful, values-driven people who want to establish harmony between their values, decisions, and direction.
My name is Dr. Stephen V. Peters. I'm a performance and executive coach, conflict resolution expert, and author with 13 years of experience guiding leaders, teams, and high-performing individuals.
The common thread? Misalignment - when values, decisions, and direction fall out of sync.
Each episode exposes the internal barriers that quietly stall momentum: unexamined values, people-pleasing disguised as discipline, the residue of broken trust, and clarity gaps that hard work alone can't fix.
We don't just diagnose the problem.
We turn insight into strategy — so you can 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.

The Right Work Hurts: Why Investing in Yourself Is So Hard | Interests vs. Enhancements Series, Part 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Doing what truly matters often feels harder—not because it’s wrong, but because it asks more of your focus, priorities, and energy. This is part 2 of the Interests vs. Enhancements Series.
In this follow-up to Are You Busy — or Are You Building?, we unpack the hidden mental cost of living in accordance with your values instead of chasing what’s easy or distracting. When you commit to the work that counts, resistance hits differently—and it can feel heavier before it pays off.
This episode breaks down why capable people stall when they ignore these internal tensions and how to navigate the discomfort so you can build momentum in your life, leadership, and work.
