Get Over It Podcast with Drew Auker and Heidi Joy

AI

In this episode, Drew and Heidi talk about AI — the good, the bad, and the strange reality of how quickly people are starting to rely on it for everything. They get into the growing belief that access to information automatically creates expertise, and how AI can sometimes create a false sense of confidence without real understanding or experience behind it. From business decisions to personal relationships, they unpack what happens when people stop thinking critically and start outsourcing too much of their judgment. The conversation also explores authenticity, communication, and the tension between using AI as a tool versus letting it replace real human connection. They share their own experiences using it, where it’s helpful, where it falls short, and why intention still matters more than technology. At the end of the day, AI can help organize information — but it can’t replace experience, discernment, or the heart behind the message.

Burnout

In this episode, Drew and Heidi talk about burnout — what it actually feels like, how it sneaks up on you, and the stories we start telling ourselves when we’ve been pouring into everyone else for too long. They get into the emotional exhaustion that can come from constantly showing up for people, the pressure of always being “on,” and what happens when you start feeling unappreciated or disconnected from the very things that once gave you energy. The conversation also explores the difference between needing rest versus trying to emotionally detach, and how pulling away from relationships, people, or purpose can sometimes make burnout even worse. From business to personal relationships, Drew and Heidi unpack what burnout has looked like in their own lives, how they’ve navigated it, and what it takes to reconnect with yourself when you’ve hit a wall. At the end of the day, burnout isn’t always about doing too much — sometimes it’s about losing connection to the things that once made you feel alive.

Appearances

In this episode, Drew and Heidi talk about appearance and why it matters — whether we want it to or not. They get into how quickly first impressions are formed, and how the way you show up can influence how people perceive you in both business and everyday interactions. From real-life scenarios to personal habits, they unpack how appearance ties directly to confidence, energy, and presence. They also talk about the connection between how you look and how you feel, and how being intentional about how you present yourself can change the way you move through your day. At the end of the day, it’s not about perfection — it’s about understanding the role it plays and deciding how you want to show up.

Self Care

In this episode, Drew and Heidi talk about self-care — not the version that looks good on the surface, but the kind that actually keeps you functioning when life and business start to get heavy. As schedules fill up and demands increase, the first thing most people drop is themselves. They get into the difference between maintenance and real self-care, why it’s often the first thing to go, and what happens when you stop taking care of the basics. They share how small, consistent habits — like movement, sleep, and routine — directly impact how you show up in your business and your life, and why waiting to “fit it in later” usually means it doesn’t happen at all. At the end of the day, it’s not about doing it perfectly — it’s about recognizing when you’ve fallen off and deciding to get back to what works.

Difficult Conversations

In this episode, Drew and Heidi talk about why we avoid difficult conversations — not because we don’t know what to say, but because we’re afraid of what might happen if we do. Whether it’s with clients, team members, friends, or even the people closest to us, avoiding the conversation doesn’t make the situation better — it usually makes it worse. They share real examples from business, leadership, and personal life, and what changed when they finally said the thing they were avoiding. They talk about the fear of being judged, the tendency to delay, and how not having the conversation can actually do more harm than having it. From price reductions to team performance to marriage and finances, the common thread is simple — telling the truth moves things forward. At the end of the day, it’s not about having the perfect words — it’s about having the conversation.
