Most people know something is holding them back. They just can't quite name it.
You Winning Life is the podcast for high-functioning people who are done settling for "fine" — hosted by Jason Wasser, LMFT, Certified NET Practitioner, and Entrepreneur Coach based in South Florida.
With 20 years working with entrepreneurs, athletes (MLB, NBA, USTA), and everyday high-achievers, Jason brings a rare blend of clinical depth and straight talk to the conversations most podcasts are too polished to have.
Each episode pulls back the curtain on the patterns, beliefs, and nervous system responses that drive your decisions — at work, in your relationships, and in your own head. Guests include psychologists, performance coaches, wellness experts, and people who've navigated real transformation.
No jargon. No toxic positivity. Just the kind of honest conversation that actually moves the needle.
