In this episode, we sit down with writing coach and industry strategist Nick Jobe for a conversation that moves well beyond the professional. He shares openly about growing up with fear and health anxiety, the impact of early emotional neglect, and the long process of stepping into personal responsibility and self-worth. We explore how EMDR helped him rewire long-held patterns, how COVID became a catalyst for questioning mainstream narratives, and why he draws a hard line when it comes to using AI in creative work. This is a conversation about value, alignment, and what it takes to stop living at odds with yourself…personally, relationally, and vocationally.
