The Man I’m Trying to Become (opens the original)
Read excerpt
S2 E18 — The Man I’m Trying to Become I've spent a lot of time thinking about the man I want to become. But lately I've been asking myself a different question: Can I become that man without spending the entire journey believing the man I am today isn't good enough? In the Season 2 finale of The Bench Session , I talk about where that question started for me — my fitness journey — and how it turned into something much bigger. We talk about the loneliness of trying to change yourself, constantly

Season 2 Episode 17 — Life Happens | Rachel Kerr Schneider Life doesn't always follow the plan. Sometimes it changes slowly, and sometimes everything changes in a single moment.

We talk about money, debt, payment plans, DoorDash, living at home, work ethic, technology, social media, and the struggles that come with learning how to become an adult. But this isn't just an episode abo

Season 2 – Episode 14What If This Is As Good As It Gets? What if we've been waiting for a version of life that doesn't actually exist? In this episode, I talk about the trap of constantly chasing the next milestone—losing the weight, paying off the debt, getting the promotion, buying the house—while convincing ourselves that life will finally begin once we get there. The truth is, every goal we reach eventually becomes our new normal, and the finish line keeps moving. This isn't a conversation a
