Description
Take Care & Live is a podcast for thoughtful, values-driven people who want to establish harmony between their values, decisions, and direction.
My name is Dr. Stephen V. Peters. I'm a performance and executive coach, conflict resolution expert, and author with 13 years of experience guiding leaders, teams, and high-performing individuals.
The common thread? Misalignment - when values, decisions, and direction fall out of sync.
Each episode exposes the internal barriers that quietly stall momentum: unexamined values, people-pleasing disguised as discipline, the residue of broken trust, and clarity gaps that hard work alone can't fix.
We don't just diagnose the problem.
We turn insight into strategy — so you can build real momentum in your life, leadership, and work.
New episodes weekly.
Follow Take Care & Live to move forward with clarity, confidence, and bold intention—aligned with what actually matters.
