What if guilt is the real reason you’re stuck?

In this eye-opening episode, Dave and Jacq pull back the curtain on a dream killer that hides in plain sight: guilt.

We’re not talking about the guilt you feel when you sneak an extra cookie. We’re talking about the kind of deep, ingrained guilt that keeps you from making bold decisions, investing in yourself, and going after your biggest goals.

The kind of guilt that disguises itself as love, duty, or sacrifice, and convinces you to stay small for the sake of others.

Whether it's guilt about money, parenting, success, or simply taking time for yourself… if you don’t confront this sneaky emotion, it will keep hijacking your progress.

You’ll find this episode real, raw, and surprisingly funny (yes, there’s even a story about “boob guilt”). Let’s go!

2. The 3 biggest blockers to goal achievement: fear, money, and guilt (0:04:59)

Dave shares what he’s learned from 10,000+ coaching calls… that guilt is often the real reason people say no to their dreams. It just doesn’t sound like an excuse, because often it feels noble.

3. You can’t grow and stay small at the same time (0:08:33)

Especially for parents, guilt convinces you that going after your own goals somehow harms your kids or partner. But guilt-fueled indecision only creates chaos.

4. Create a guilt-free environment (0:11:27)
