JUST DO YOU.
The JUST DO YOU. podcast is a vibrant space for authentic conversations designed to connect, inspire, and empower us. Through these conversations, we explore the journey to finding confidence, discovering our unique voice, and embracing our truth. Along the way, we just might uncover new perspectives that help us step into what I call the JUST DO YOU. sweet spot — the space where you're fully, unapologetically yourself.
Each week, I’m honored to sit down for unscripted conversations with friends, family, colleagues, community leaders, and influencers as they share their personal stories. Together, we’ll laugh, maybe shed a few tears, but most importantly, we’ll remind ourselves that no one journeys through life alone. I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I do.
So, are you ready? WELCOME to the conversation!
JUST DO YOU.
S2E14 with Peter Godard - Riding the Wave of Joy
Meet Peter Godard - a transformational coach, equity strategist, and joyful co-conspirator for personal and collective liberation. As founder of Great Bear Coaching, Peter offers a warm, intuitive approach and supports his clients in exploring identity, power, and possibility. His coaching is rooted in compassion and celebration, helping people feel grounded as they grow into new versions of themselves.
In our conversation, Peter shares his powerful journey, shaped by his identity as a GenX queer man and the descendant of French Canadian and Irish American farmers and teachers from a rural town in Vermont. Now based in Chicago, he lives with his husband Bob and finds joy in his chosen family, the outdoors, queer fiction, and creative experiments in the kitchen and brings a deep sense of justice, play, and humanity to all he does.
Peter is also the co-creator of the Social Identity Coaching Lab, where he works at the intersection of equity, leadership development, and culture shift. Whether coaching one-on-one, facilitating groups, or consulting with teams, Peter’s work invites people and organizations to get real about equity and imagine bold new ways of being.
Our conversation is a true celebration of QUEER MAGIC, identity, embodiment, and the radical act of imagining more liberated ways to lead and live. Welcome to the conversation.
