Shannon shares her vision of creating neighborhoods filled with laughter, children playing outside, and families reconnecting through intentional living.

The Boundary Decision: What Is Yours to Carry? With Alyssa Utecht
What happens when being helpful turns into carrying what is not yours? In this episode of SoundBits, Kim Groshek is joined by Alyssa Utecht for a conversation about boundaries, power, nervous system safety, and the decisions we keep reopening because discomfort feels too hard to hold. Kim and Alyssa unpack: Why boundaries are not just walls, but decision lines How over-helping can take away someone else’s agency Why resentment, exhaustion, and overwhelm often point to a crossed boundary The “tennis court” model for clean responsibility How leaders, helpers, and empaths accidentally carry everyone else’s decisions Why clarity without containment becomes UN-DECISION™ The first small question to ask: “Is this mine, or is this theirs?” This episode is for anyone who has been carrying someone else’s backpack, solving problems before being asked, or staying stuck in a decision that was never fully theirs to make.

Decide Where Energy Goes with Jennifer Hough
Energy is not something you chase. It’s something you build. In this conversation with Jennifer Hough, we explore the real drivers behind energy—and why so many leaders feel depleted despite doing “all the right things.” Jennifer shares her experience navigating severe fatigue after toxic exposure, and how that led her to rethink health, performance, and the way we generate energy at a cellular level. Here’s what we cover: Why energy is rooted in your biology—not just your schedule The role of mitochondria as your body’s “energy factories” How stress, toxins, and overexertion quietly drain your capacity Why traditional exercise can backfire (especially for high performers) The 5 key factors that directly impact your energy levels: Movement (without over-stressing the body) Hydration and nourishment Sleep and cellular repair Detoxification (including infrared sauna) Connection beyond the “lone wolf” mindset Jennifer also introduces a powerful leadership shift: Energy expands when you stop operating alone. The move from “lone wolf” to connected, curious, and collaborative leadership isn’t just philosophical—it’s practical. It changes how you receive support, make decisions, and sustain momentum. This episode is a reminder: You don’t need more discipline. You need better alignment. Key Takeaway Your energy is a system. When you support the system, energy follows.

She Stopped Re-Deciding—and Finished 14 Chapters with Mitzi Ocasio
In this episode of SoundBits, Kim Groshek welcomes Mitzi back for a conversation about what happens when a decision finally turns into action. Mitzi shares how reading Kim’s work on decision-making helped her recognize that the stress she was carrying was not just from being busy. It was from decisions she had made but never acted on. For years, Mitzi wanted to finish her book. Once she stopped waiting for the perfect writing setup and began using small pockets of time—doctor’s appointments, waiting rooms, and quiet moments on her phone—she completed 14 chapters in just two months. This episode explores: Why procrastination creates emotional weight How unfinished decisions drain energy The power of using available time instead of waiting for ideal time How small daily action creates momentum Why boundaries matter when protecting your goals What it means to honor commitments to yourself Mitzi also shares how this shift has expanded her vision—from finishing one book to believing in her long-term goal of publishing 200 books. This is a conversation about ownership, accountability, and what becomes possible when you stop delaying the decision and start moving forward. One question to take with you: What decision have you already made—but haven’t acted on yet? This episode isn’t meant to sit with you. It’s meant to move you.Make one decision now:→ Join Thread Media Communityhttps://www.skool.com/threadmediacommunity/about→ Start with “Close One Loop”Install your first contained decision today→ Ready for executive-level support?Book a private session with Kim:https://kimgroshek.com/letstalk—Resources:UN-DECISION Framework: https://kimgroshek.com/un-decisionWebsite: https://kimgroshek.com

The $100K Decision Everyone Avoids Questioning with Ryan Clark
Welcome to Soundbits—an exploration of what’s not said and what may be misunderstood. In this episode, Kim Groshek speaks with Ryan Clark about student loan debt, family expectations, and the hidden decisions behind higher education. What you’ll hear in this episode: A real story of how student debt impacts families over time Why “doing everything right” doesn’t guarantee financial support The difference between cost and investment when choosing a college How to think about education like a financial decision—not just a milestone Why trade schools and alternative paths are part of the conversation now Ryan shares how his own path—from federal academy to corporate career—shifted his perspective on education and ROI. Kim adds her own experience of paying for college and reflects on how dramatically the cost of education has changed. Key takeaway: College is not just a step—it’s a decision. And like any decision, it needs clarity, containment, and an expected return. If done right, education can create long-term financial and personal growth. If not, it can create years of financial drag. This episode isn’t meant to sit with you.
