Beyond the Questions brings real coaches together for honest, unscripted conversations about the moments that shape us—fear, self-doubt, purpose, transition, and the messy courage it takes to grow. These aren’t coaching sessions or scripted tips, but raw stories and meaningful dialogue that help you feel seen, understood, and less alone as you navigate change and become who you’re meant to be.
What Spooky Things Are Getting in the Way of Your Goals?
Ericka has a new roommate. He's got eight legs, he lives in her living room, and Jason has already decided he wants nothing to do with him.
That's how this episode starts. Where it ends up, none of us saw coming.
Jason tells us how he got into a size 28 pant, and what it quietly cost his family. TQ admits there's one goal he already knows he'll have to grieve. Ericka explains why the tarantula isn't the scary part.
Somewhere in the middle comes a question Jason says he can't answer on his own: how do you know you're quitting, and not just finally letting a goal go?
Six monsters. One of them is probably standing between you and something you've wanted for a long time. We each had to pick ours at the end, and two of us picked fast.
Which one is yours? Tell us in the comments. We're reading every one.

Ep. 24 Does Fake It Till You Make It Really Work?
A nurse forgot to take the tourniquet off before pulling an IV. A friend lied on her resume and couldn't do the job once she got it. A guy sat in a boardroom full of people deciding on six figures and had no idea why he'd been invited. All three stories are in this one, and all three circle the same question: is faking it ever actually the right move?
Jason, TQ, and Ericka take apart a phrase that's been floating around forever — where it builds you up, where it gets someone fired, and the thin line in between. TQ even offers a replacement he likes better by the end.
