In this episode of Creative Space, I’m getting real about what it means to truly practice what I preach—especially after taking a break from the podcast to do some serious inner work. As a coach, I help people get clear on their goals and make them happen, but I also do the same work myself with my own coach.When I first started working with my coach, my focus was growing my coaching practice. But in the process, I ended up unearthing a dream I’d buried for years: moving to LA.I spent a long time doing everything but that. When I bought my house in Philly, I tried to convince myself I could let go of that dream and just make the best of where I was. But it wouldn’t let me go.For years I felt stuck, trying to force myself to be happy in my so-called “dream house,” until I finally did the hard work to face what I really wanted.In 2025, I committed to spending one month in LA—what I called my “LA experiment.” That one decision set off a chain of events that turned this into one of the coolest, most creative years of my life so far.I hope it inspires you to get real with yourself and go after your dreams, even the scary ones!00:00 — Welcome Back After the Break 00:54 — Why I Took a Sabbatical 02:40 — Coaching Others While Getting Coached Myself 03:25 — Admitting the West Coast Dream 05:08 — Buying the House Instead 05:41 — Realizing I Felt Stuck 06:16 — We’re Like Plants Needing the Right Environment 07:08 — The Hardest Goals Are the Ones We Avoid 07:54 — Naming the Excuses Out Loud 09:09 — The “80-Year-Old Regret” Question 09:55 — Facing the Terror of Change 10:35 — Committing to a Small Goal: The LA Holiday 11:23 — Dreading the Trip and Saying Yes Anyway 12:08 — The Magic of That First LA Stay 13:04 — Returning Home and Feeling Stuck Again 14:02 — Testing Other Cities for Size 15:03 — Deciding on the One-Month LA Experiment 15:46 — What's next for me and "Creative Space"If you’ve got a dream you’ve buried, or you’re feeling stuck like I was, let’s talk.
