Do you ever feel like you're living a life you never consciously chose?
Life Beyond the Checklist is a podcast for people who feel trapped by society's expectations and want to build a life that feels genuinely their own.
Through honest reflections, personal stories, interviews of people who chose to live an authentic life and practical coaching insights, I'll help you question the endless "I shoulds" that shape our lives and replace them with choices that are aligned with your own values.
This podcast is about asking a simple question:
Is this what I truly want?
Why Can't You Decide? (And What to Look at Before You Look for Solutions)
Have you ever caught yourself going over the same decision again and again, getting further from an answer the more you think? In this episode I share what I’m learning from my own period of indecision, and what to look at before you look for solutions.
In this episode:
• Why we feel such urgency to find a solution, and why society leaves so little room for transitions
• Needs vs strategies: how to find what you’re really looking for in a decision
• How much of your indecision is yours, and how much is fear of other people’s judgement
• The beliefs we inherited, and how to choose which ones to keep
• Three questions to ask yourself when you’re stuck

Ever caught yourself replaying an argument in your head for hours, building a whole case against someone?
In this episode I break down the four patterns that quietly turn small conflicts into resentment (the Four D's), and share the shift in Nonviolent Communication that took me two years to find and that changed how I handle every disagreement since.

So common to say "I don't have self-confidence." So uncommon to ask: what exactly am I not trusting in myself?
This episode, I share what happened when I volunteered at a luxury retreat surrounded by strangers and the question that followed me home: if people who just met me can trust me after one week, why can't I trust myself after thirty-six years?
We talk about the fine line between confidence and control, why your body often knows before your mind does, and one simple question you can start asking yourself today.

How Do You know If You're Actually Productive or Just Staying Busy?
Is your life really this busy or are you running away from something?
In this episode of Life Beyond the Checklist, I get honest about my own workaholism and busyholism and the White Rabbit I keep chasing so I don't have to sit with emptiness and loneliness. I share what a personal organization course taught me about redefining productivity not by hours, but by quality, joy, and presence and the question I'm now asking myself instead of "how much did I get done."

How Do You Understand What Kind of Job You Want to Do in Your Life?
You've tried job after job, and something's always off. Maybe the problem isn't you, it's the question you're asking. Marysaba shares her own winding path, fears and doubts and the one question that changed everything: not "what job do I want," but "what need am I actually trying to meet."

Why do you still feel behind, when you don't even want that life?
For years, I believed buying a house was the next logical step. Until I stopped and asked myself a simple question:
Do I actually want a house....or do I want what owning a house says about me?
In this episode, I explore how we often chase goals that don't truly belong to us, not because we want them, but because of what we believe they'll prove about us.
Together, we'll question the invisible checklist we inherit, uncover the needs hiding beneath our goals, and explore how to build a life that feels aligned with our own values rather than society's expectations.
If you've ever felt behind, like everyone else has life figured out expect you, this episode is for you.
