   Starting Over Without Beating Yourself Up (EP 132)

   Coach Willie Blake told me it took him 11 attempts to finish 75 Hard. My first thought? I probably would have called it quits after three. But the more we talked, the more I realized this wasn’t just about finishing a challenge. Willie grew up with dyslexia, worried about being called on to read, and found comfort in food when he didn’t feel comfortable with himself. Those feelings followed him long after his school days were over. We talk about the family photo that made him take a hard look at his health, the confidence he had to build, and what he learned each time he started over. What stuck with me was this: progress doesn’t have to look impressive to matter. Sometimes it looks like another walk, another attempt, and a little less judgment along the way. === Chapters 00:28 Meet Coach Willie Blake 02:36 Dyslexia, Shame, and Emotional Eating 08:48 Reading and a New Mindset 13:43 Breaking Free From Old Labels 15:57 Taking on 75 Hard 20:52 Ten Restarts Before Finishing 24:49 Habits That Stuck 26:31 From Walmart to Full-Time Coaching 30:40 Light Beyond Limits and What’s Next === Guest: Willie Blake, Coach Willie Blake, Dyslexic Career & High-Performance Coach Website: https://coachwillieblake.com/ (https://coachwillieblake.com/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/willieblake-light (https://www.linkedin.com/in/willieblake-light) === Resources / Books / Podcasts / Apps Light Beyond Limits: https://open.spotify.com/show/7C9SF4BWxy92rLmcZi32Gd (https://open.spotify.com/show/7C9SF4BWxy92rLmcZi32Gd) Uncle Marv’s Unhealthy Podcast: https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/ (https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/) Rich Dad Poor Dad: https://link.amazon/B0bnChDOu The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: https://link.amazon/B01SwloQl How to Win Friends and Influence People: https://link.amazon/B0fttiF44 75 HARD: https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/articles/what-is-75-hard (https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/articles/what-is-75-hard) Section 504 Plan: http://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/individuals-disabilities/section-504 (http://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/individuals-disabilities/section-504) === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item Item Title: Healthy Eating Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P Author Username: CrazyTunes Licensee: Marvin Bee Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast License Date: January 3rd, 2026 Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.

   Sometimes You Have to Live in the Mud (EP 131)

   Sometimes you’ve got to live in the mud for a while. Not call it beautiful. Not pretend you’re enjoying it. Just admit that it hurts. Laura Bratton joins me again to talk about what helped her move forward after losing her sight, including the support of people who believed in her when she struggled to believe in herself. I wanted to know what grit and gratitude actually look like on the hard days. Laura shares how she learned to acknowledge her grief, stop treating every frightening thought as a permanent reality, and take life in smaller pieces. What stayed with me was this: you can appreciate the people helping you through a difficult situation without being grateful that the situation happened. === Guest Laura Bratton, Ubi Global, Founder, Keynote Speaker, Author and Coach Website: https://www.laurabratton.com/ (https://www.laurabratton.com/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-bratton-speaking (https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-bratton-speaking) === Resources / Books / Podcasts / Apps Harnessing Courage: Overcoming Adversity with Grit & Gratitude, Laura's book: https://link.amazon/B0iq4OHYx (https://link.amazon/B0iq4OHYx) Uncle Marv’s Unhealthy Podcast: https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/ (https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/) Vistage, executive coaching and peer advisory organization: https://vistage.com/ (https://vistage.com/) Arizona State University, referred to as “Arizona State”: https://www.asu.edu/ (https://www.asu.edu/) Part one of my conversation with Laura: https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/130 (https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/130) === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item Item Title: Healthy Eating Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P Author Username: CrazyTunes Licensee: Marvin Bee Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast License Date: January 3rd, 2026 Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.

   The Hardest Part Wasn’t Losing Sight (EP 130)

   What happens when life changes in a way you never asked for, and there’s no going back? I sat down with Laura Bratton, an author, speaker, and coach who learned at nine years old that she would eventually lose her sight. She understood the words, but understanding what they would mean for her life was something else entirely. Laura shares how losing vision during her teenage years shook her confidence, her identity, and her belief that she still had something to offer. There wasn’t a countdown, either. Nobody could tell her whether it would happen at 40, at 60, or much sooner. While she kept playing basketball, dancing, and riding her bike, her parents were helping her learn Braille and cane skills she would eventually need. They were preparing for a future none of them could put on a calendar. === Guest Laura Bratton, Ubi Global, Founder, Keynote Speaker, Author, and Coach Website: https://www.laurabratton.com/ (https://www.laurabratton.com/) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-bratton-speaking (https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-bratton-speaking) === Resources / Books / Podcasts / Apps Harnessing Courage: Overcoming Adversity with Grit & Gratitude, Laura's book: https://link.amazon/B0iq4OHYx (https://link.amazon/B0iq4OHYx) Arizona State University: https://www.asu.edu/ (https://www.asu.edu/) Princeton Theological Seminary: https://ptsem.edu/ (https://ptsem.edu/) VoiceOver, Apple’s screen reader: https://www.apple.com/accessibility/features/?vision (https://www.apple.com/accessibility/features/?vision) JAWS (Job Access With Speech), screen reader: https://vispero.com/jaws-screen-reader-software/ (https://vispero.com/jaws-screen-reader-software/) === MUSIC LICENSE CERTIFICATE: Envato Elements Item Item Title: Healthy Eating Item URL: https://elements.envato.com/healthy-eating-VNN4M4P Author Username: CrazyTunes Licensee: Marvin Bee Registered Project Name: Unhealthy Podcast License Date: January 3rd, 2026 Item License Code: XPFS6HD54W === About the Unhealthy Podcast Hosted by Marvin Bee (Uncle Marv), the Unhealthy Podcast dives into real conversations about health, wellness, and everyday habits that impact how we live, work, and age.
