Will your adversity build you or bury you? In this powerful episode of Five Star Life, Coach Seth and Coach Mia dive deep into the one thing no human gets a pass on: hard times. Whether it’s chaos at home, pressure on the field, or hidden trauma, adversity is a guaranteed part of the human experience—but it doesn't have to define your identity.

In this conversation, Seth and Mia break down the three states of the human nervous system and why "shutting down" is a biological response that traps us in hopelessness. They discuss the "Creative Genius" study by NASA, revealing how life’s failures and negative words often beat down the innate brilliance we are all born with. Coach Seth shares a personal story of a devastating game-winning shot he missed in high school and the specific mental process he used to "draw a circle" around the event so it didn't paralyze his future.

Learn how to regulate your nervous system through breathing and intentionality, and discover why the gap between where you are and where you want to be can only be closed once you stop letting your circumstances define who you are.

How do you find your voice when you feel like you’ve lost everything? At fifteen, Kinley Shoemaker’s world was shattered by a violent act. Instead of hiding, she chose a path of radical resilience, stepping into the arena of pageantry and eventually becoming Miss Indiana.

In this episode of Five Star Life, Coach Seth sits down with Kinley Shoemaker to discuss the "messenger mindset." They explore why you shouldn't wait until you’re "healed up" to chase your dreams and how the simple act of saying "yes" to new opportunities can lead you out of your darkest places. Kinley shares her philosophy of "triumph over trauma," explaining how she found her own healing through 500+ hours of community service and why empathy is the missing factor in today’s social media-driven world.

They also dive into the realities of modern pageantry, the impact of social media on self-image, and why the best way to heal your own heart is to walk out your front door and serve someone else. Whether you are a young person facing a setback or a parent helping a child navigate a difficult season, this conversation is a roadmap for turning a victim mentality into a victorious one.

What is your unforgiveness costing you? In this episode of Five Star Life, Coach Seth and Cherry Kulp of Unearthed Coaching unfold the heavy price of holding onto the past. Forgiveness isn't just a spiritual concept—it is a physical and psychological necessity that can determine the state of your health and the quality of your future.

In this powerful conversation, we break down the "Delorean Effect" and how retelling old stories of hurt keeps your body trapped in a toxic cycle of stress and pressure. Cherry shares her personal journey of how unresolved resentment physically manifested in her body and why the hardest work involves showing compassion to the one person we often judge most: ourselves. We discuss the vital difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, the trap of ego, and how "unplugging" from the pain allows you to reclaim your power and walk in true dominion.

What separates the average from the elite? It isn't just talent—it’s the obsession with the details that everyone else ignores.

In this episode of Five Star Life, Coach Seth sits down with Bobbo Torres to pull back the curtain on what it takes to build elite-level greatness. From the high school gym to training the pros, Bobbo and Seth explore why most people miss the "gold" in others and how a single 15-second window of genuine belief can change a student's entire trajectory.

They dive into the "Pro Blueprint," discussing why elite athletes like Demetrius Jackson and LeBron James prioritize the tedious details of recovery and rehab over the glamorous workouts. Whether you are coaching a high schooler or training a professional, the secret remains the same: it’s about observation, deep focus, and having a belief system that demands more.

About Our Guest: Bobbo Torres is a performance coach dedicated to developing the next generation of elite athletes through discipline and specialized training.
