  • Your Future Self Is Trying to Get In | Dr. Branch

    Your Future Self Is Trying to Get In | Dr. Branch
    Oct 15 2026
    In this solo Season 5 episode of The 3 Parallels Podcast, Dr. Jason Branch takes listeners behind the scenes of an unexpected reunion in Birmingham with longtime colleague and fellow Black male therapist Eddie Sharp. What began as a simple podcast invitation became something neither of them planned for — a real-life demonstration of the law of attraction, and a reminder that some connections cannot be forced. They happen when the timing is right and when both people have done enough internal work to recognize what they are looking at when it arrives.

    Dr. Branch uses the encounter as a launching point to reflect on his full journey with mentorship, from his first mentor in the fourth grade through building mentorship programs, guiding future counselors, and eventually becoming an executive performance coach. He explores what it means to outgrow mentorship that no longer serves you without dishonoring what it gave you, and how the law of attraction works in practice through intentionality, authenticity, and the courage to speak and move as if the future you desire is already possible. The episode builds toward a question he puts to himself and to every listener: your old self may have something to say, your current self may be confused, but your future self is still trying to get in the kitchen. Will you let them?

    This episode is for anyone who has been waiting for the right moment, the right connection, or the right permission to become the next version of themselves. It is for the person whose future self has been knocking for a while — and who is finally ready to open the door. Dr. Branch sends listeners away with three challenges: honor one person who helped shape who they are, challenge one belief that is blocking the next version of themselves, and take one risk this week that their future self is counting on them to take. Life Work:
    1. Honor the People Who Made You: Who helped you become who you are? Name them. Reach out to one this week — not because you need something, but because they deserve to know their impact.
    2. Challenge One Belief: What belief is keeping the current version of you from becoming the next one? Name it. Then ask: is that a fact, or a story?
    3. Take One Risk: What risk would you take if you knew your future self was counting on you? Name it. Take one step toward it this week.

  • You Are a Human Being, Not a Human Doing | Dr. Elisabeth Tomlin

    You Are a Human Being, Not a Human Doing | Dr. Elisabeth Tomlin
    Oct 12 2026
    In this Season 5 episode of The 3 Parallels Podcast, Dr. Jason Branch sits down with Dr. Elisabeth Tomlin, a colleague, friend, and kindred spirit he has known for more than a decade, for a conversation about the one competition most high achievers never think to enter: you versus your own perfectionism. The episode is built around a reframe Liz offers that names the wound most overachievers carry without language for it: we have been trained to be human doings instead of human beings. Slowing down is not doing less. It is learning to be present. And for anyone who has spent years confusing their worth with their output, this conversation is the permission slip they did not know they needed.

    Dr. Branch and Liz trace their friendship back to its origin: a shared look across a conference room that communicated, before either of them spoke, a mutual recognition of two people willing to question the status quo, challenge the rules of the spaces they occupied, and refuse to fit a mold that was never built for them. From there the conversation moves into Liz's own story of growing up feeling the need to accomplish, contribute, and be useful to feel worthy, and the childhood experiences, family dynamics, cultural expectations, and systems that reward constant achievement that shaped that belief. She names her high school teacher Joan Cecil as the person who first introduced her to frameworks for understanding gender, racism, class, and power, and who planted the early breadcrumb toward a lifetime of curiosity, cultural humility, and the courage to keep asking. Together they explore perfectionism, self-compassion, privilege, identity, and what it actually looks like to show up authentically in spaces that often reward the performance of expertise over the honesty of not knowing.

    This episode is for the high performer who has never stopped long enough to ask whether what they are chasing is something they actually want, or something they were trained to want. It is for the helping professional who knows how to take care of everyone else but has confused busyness with worth. And it is for anyone ready to enter the Season 5 competition that matters most: you versus the version of yourself that has been performing instead of being. Dr. Branch and Liz send listeners away with three challenges: catch yourself performing and ask who you are trying to prove yourself to, practice ten minutes of presence each day without an agenda, and choose to show up as your authentic self in one area where you have been performing instead.
    Life Work
    1. Catch Yourself Performing: This week, notice one moment when you feel the need to prove your worth, earn approval, or be everything to everyone. Pause and ask: Who am I trying to prove myself to?
    2. Practice Being Present: Slow down for 10 minutes each day. Put the work, responsibilities, and expectations aside. Be present without feeling like you have to accomplish something.
    3. Choose Personhood Over Performance: Identify one area of your life where you feel pressure to perform. Practice showing up as your authentic self instead of the version you think others expect.

  • You vs. You: The 4th Quarter Starts Now | Season 5 Premiere

    You vs. You: The 4th Quarter Starts Now | Season 5 Premiere
    Oct 8 2026
    Season 5 of The 3 Parallels Podcast is here, and Dr. Jason Branch opens it with a declaration: the competition has changed. In this solo premiere episode, Dr. Branch returns from a break with a framework that will drive everything in the season ahead. You vs. You. Not you versus your colleagues, your competitors, your peers, or the version of success someone else has built. You versus the person you used to be. That is the only scoreboard that matters — and it is the one most people have never thought to look at.

    Dr. Branch draws on Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Tony Stark's suit upgrades to build the case that the greats do not avoid losing — they use it. Jordan was cut from his high school team. Kobe studied film of his misses. Each version of Stark's suit was not a replacement but an evolution, integrating what came before and building what was next. That framework applied to the 3 Parallels, who we were, who we are, who we are becoming, becomes the architecture for Season 5. He is also honest about taking a break, releasing rules that no longer serve him, and choosing wellness over simply performing at a high level. The 4th quarter of 2026 means 90 days left in the year, and this episode is the signal that those 90 days are not going to pass by without intention.

    This episode is for everyone who has been waiting for a sign that it is time to stop competing with everyone else and start investing in the version of themselves that is still becoming. It is for the person who almost made it through 2026 running on the same script they started with — and who still has 90 days to change one thing. Dr. Branch sends every listener away with three challenges: bet on yourself by starting one thing today, change the competition by measuring against yesterday's version of themselves, and bring somebody with them by sharing this episode with one person who needs to hear it. Whose house? My house. Welcome to Season 5.


    Life Work
    1. Bet on Yourself: You have 90 days left in 2026. Pick one thing you want to change, build, heal, or become — and start today. Not January. Today.
    2. Change the Competition: Stop comparing yourself to everyone else. Ask yourself: Am I better than the person I was yesterday? That is the only scoreboard that matters.
    3. Bring Somebody With You: If this episode gave you something, share it with someone who needs to hear it. Don't keep the breadcrumbs to yourself.
