Ever feel like you’re doing everything right…but something still feels off?

Like no matter how hard you work, how much you win, how much you provide—it’s never quite enough. You’re crushing it professionally…but at home, you’re irritable, disconnected, or just numb.

If that hits home, you’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You just might be glitching. 👀

This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m sit down with Dr. Don Wood—mindset and trauma expert, author, and the creator of the TIPP Method. He’s helped pro athletes and CEOs reboot their minds and experience next-level peace and performance.

And for real, Don flipped the switch on how I view anxiety, depression, and that low-level restlessness that so many of us think we just need to push through.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why unresolved trauma creates mental “glitches” that hijack your peace and purpose
• The real reason you’re still battling anxiety or sabotage—even when life looks good
• How to use science and Scripture to reset your mind and step into God-designed freedom
• The one mindset practice you can start today to stop spirals and snap back into clarity

Key Quotes

• “You must understand how your mind works. If you don't, you can never fix it.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “Trauma is a software glitch. If you don’t resolve it, your nervous system will keep firing like you’re still in danger.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “Anytime you have an emotion, feeling, or sensation, your mind is calling for an action. Fear wants you to run. But if you’re recalling fear from a past event, and you can’t act, that’s a glitch.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “The best thing you can do as a parent? Make your home safe. The world won’t treat your child like you can. You have the chance to be their safe place. That’s the greatest gift you can give them.” - Dr. Don Wood
• “When a negative thought creeps in, close your eyes, think about something positive, then describe what you see. You’ll reset the brain and won’t even remember the negative thought.” - Dr. Don Wood

You ever hit a stretch where everything feels HARD?

Like no matter how much you pray… plan…push…

• Doors stay shut
• Momentum stalls
• Progress feels like dragging a boulder uphill

Let’s call it what it is — FRUSTRATING.

And the lies start circling in your head: “You’re off course. Maybe you missed it. Maybe you’re not called to this.”

But here’s the truth: Hard doesn’t mean wrong. It might just mean God’s working.

Resistance doesn’t always signal “stop.” Sometimes, it’s divine conditioning. Sometimes, it’s your runway to rise.This week on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I’m flipping the script on struggle — and dropping a simple, yet powerful 3-step strategy that’ll help you turn your resistance into your rocket fuel.

So if you’re tired of second-guessing your path, or if you’re stuck in a season where nothing feels easy — then lock into this episode.

Let’s get it!

In this episode, you will hear:

• How resistance and headwinds in life are often signs you’re on the right path — not signals to stop
• The real story behind my failed business pivot and the bold truth that set me free
• Why David’s wilderness battles prepared him to be a king — and what that means for your current struggles
• The biblical and scientific proof that resistance is essential for growth, not punishment
• A 3-step strategy to turn times of uncertainty into personal breakthroughs.
• A powerful mindset shift to help you stop chasing relief and start embracing the rise God is preparing you for.

Key Quotes

• “David didn’t become a warrior in the palace. He became a warrior in the wilderness. Resistance wasn’t his punishment — it was his preparation.” - J.R.
• “God uses headwinds to refine you and build you, not punish you. He uses them to help you take off to your next level in life.” - J.R.
• “Stop seeing resistance as a red flag and start seeing it as an opportunity for refinement.” - J.R.

What’s your mindset when the pressure is ON? Do you freeze? Overthink? Choke?

Or do you get present, dialed-in, and ready for the moment — no matter how big it is?

Let’s be real… Most guys say they’re built for the big moments — but behind the scenes, they’re terrified of blowing it. They’re obsessed with the OUTCOME, not the OPPORTUNITY.

That’s why I had to get 2x World Series Champion, Jonny Gomes, on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. This dude’s life is a masterclass in pressure-tested performance. He’s survived a tragic car accident, survived a heart attack, and experienced more adversity before age 22 than most experience in a lifetime. But somehow, he still found a way to rise — and come up CLUTCH when it mattered most.

In this episode, you will hear:

• How to dominate high-pressure moments without chasing outcomes
• The most important conversation you’ll ever have
• Why proving your doubters wrong is exhausting — and who to focus on proving right
• What today’s athletes — and parents — are getting wrong about grit

Key Quotes

• "I never set my goals on the outcome... I just wanted the opportunity." - Jonny Gomes
• “The best coach that you'll ever surround yourself with is the dude in the mirror.” - Jonny Gomes
• "Stop trying to prove the haters wrong. Start proving the people in your inner circle right." - Jonny Gomes
• "It's not about remembering. It's about storing... the more you self-evaluate, the more storage you put in your brain." - Jonny Gomes
