Is it clear that something has to change, but you’re afraid to make a move? How do you know when it’s time to throw in the towel? And how does “hope” fuel anxiety and keep us stuck? Whether it’s our business, a relationship, or whatever, we tend to stay stuck in a painful place because we don’t want to do the hard thing. Today, Alyson and I discuss why we avoid reality, how we can reclaim our power, and what we can ultimately do to allow peace of mind.   https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2026/02/staying-stuck-moving-forward   COACHING   → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com   BOOK   → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.

Whether it’s your looks, your job, or whatever — do you feel a lot of pressure to get it right? Do you ever beat the hell out of yourself for making a mistake? And if we all know that no one’s perfect, then why do so many of us think we should be? Today Alyson and I dig into perfectionism: how we get wired for it, why we let it abuse us, and why striving to get it right makes it harder for us to have what we truly want in life.   https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2026/01/perfectionism-makes-us-weak   COACHING   → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com   BOOK   → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.

Do you know what you really want in life or are you just reacting to whatever comes your way? Do you do things because they actually strengthen you or because some guy on a podcast said you should do them? And how can we get out of autopilot to begin the process of forging our own path? Today we dig into a question that scares a lot of people: What do you want? So many of us are firefighting, reacting, or quietly living a “prescribed life” and then wondering why we feel chronically trapped, drained, isolated, or out of alignment. Is there another way? Can we find and follow a different compass heading without blowing up everything we care about? Let’s find out.   https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2026/01/what-do-you-really-want   COACHING   → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com   BOOK   → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.

Do you care more about the relationship than your partner does? Does it seem like something else is getting their attention? And are your efforts to create time together actually pushing them away? Today Alyson and I talk about what it means when one partner is always busy or distracted. We explore why pushing for more connection can actually drive them away and why choosing to be busy may sometimes mean they’re just not that into you.   https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2025/12/too-busy-for-relationship   COACHING   → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com   BOOK   → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.

Are the holidays a source of stress and dread for you? Do you feel boxed in by family obligations? And does the thought of doing things differently feel like it would blow up the whole season? Today Alyson and I dig into the pressure, guilt, and expectations that show up this time of year.

Are you afraid of being trapped in a sexless marriage? Does your partner treat sex like it’s just another chore? And what are the ways you’re killing your sex life without even knowing it? Today Alyson and I discuss sex — or the lack of sex — in long term relationships.

Why does talking about money with your partner feel so loaded? Why can financial conversations turn into full-blown fights? And what if the real issue isn’t money at all? In this episode, Alyson and I explore why finances are one of the biggest sources of stress — and even breakups — in relationships.

Why does trying to be a “real man” scream insecurity? Why do so many guys turn into neutered, “yes dear” pushovers? And could all this talk about masculine and feminine energy be a big distraction? Today Alyson and I break it down. What do people really mean when they talk about masculine and feminine energy? Why do some swear it’s the secret to passion, polarity, and purpose?

Do you have someone in your life that, no matter what you do, it’s always your fault? Do you often walk on eggshells, worried the next thing you say will set them off? And at what point does “difficult” cross the line into a personality disorder? Today, Alyson and I dive into one of the toughest, most confusing topics in relationships: personality disorders.

And what happens when we finally start living in alignment with our soul instead of our ego? Today, Alyson and I dive into success, comparisons, and the art of getting over yourself.

And how might your life change if you weren’t afraid to be who you truly are? Today, Alyson and I talk about how we all “should” on ourselves and each other.

Do you feel like you keep getting stuck in the same old arguments? What drains our aliveness more than work? And what if the thing killing your sex life had nothing to do with sex?
