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.
Take Care & Live!
Be Disrupted: What If the Interruption is the Point?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you exhausted from fighting the current rhythm of your life? Stop fighting the shift. When you resist a change in season, you create an internal friction that ripples out to disrupt your relationships, your work, and your peace of mind.
In this powerful episode of the Take Care & Live! podcast, Dr. Stephen reveals how to let life's necessary slowdowns happen without letting them drag you down. Grounded in the truth of Matthew 6:34, Dr. Peters breaks down why our anxiety about tomorrow is almost always anchored to an old paradigm of what used to be priority number one. It is time to stop operating with an outdated lens, intentionally open your hands to the present moment, and align with your current reality.
By listening to this episode, you will learn how to:
- Identify Your Current Weather: Look past your personal preferences to accurately diagnose the actual life season you are standing in right now.
- Uncover the exact fears—loss of time, progress, or status—that keep your grip tight and your frustration high.
- Leverage Inconvenience: See how stepping into unplanned, uncomfortable disruptions can radically replenish your heart and mind.
- Animate the Principle: Draw inspiration from how icon Fred Rogers and businessman Aaron Feuerstein leaned into deeply inconvenient seasons to secure historic, multi-generational victories.
Stop paying for a season you no longer live in. Hit play, unclench your fists, and learn how to truly take care and live.
You cannot force tomorrow's growth with yesterday's strategy. Turn down the noise, hit play, and learn how to actively participate in the shift so you can truly take care and live.
