In this episode of Unstoppable You, I sit down with Jason Ulm, husband, father of five, and Director of Strategic Partnerships at Braden Business Systems. Jason shares what it takes to balance fatherhood, leadership, and personal growth while staying true to yourself.

He gets real about the pressures men face, how presence and intentionality transform both family and career, and why defining your own version of success matters more than checking boxes. From showing up for his kids in unexpected ways to leading with curiosity and empathy at work, Jason opens up about lessons that apply to anyone striving to build a meaningful life, not just an impressive one.

What you'll learn:

• How to recognize which pressures are truly yours versus inheritedWhy presence and intentionality matter more than perfection

In this episode of Unstoppable You, I sit down with my old friend Kiley Ewing, a dynamic leader who left her job with no plan, accidentally built a thriving business, and is now Chief People Officer, shaping the culture of an entire organization. Kiley gets real about what it takes to stop gatekeeping your own success, why discipline is actually what creates freedom, and what going alcohol-free for nearly five years taught her about identity, friendship, and finally betting on herself.

I’m Bree, wife, CEO, and mom of four, and I’m getting honest about the journey that brought me here. I have built a life that looked incredible on paper. But somewhere between the 4am wake-ups, the missed bedtimes, and a Post-it note from my kid that I’ll never forget, I realized I had completely lost myself in the process.

This episode isn't about having it all figured out. It's about the moment I started asking better questions, what I found when I did, and why redefining success on your own terms might be the most unstoppable thing you ever do.

What you'll learn:

• Why external success can feel hollow and what to do about it
• How to start asking yourself what you're actually optimizing your life for

Unstoppable You is for the woman building a career, raising a family, and still pushing herself to grow. It is not about perfect balance. It is about ownership. It is about imperfect success. It is about deciding that messy progress still counts.

I’m Bree Katulak, CEO, mom of four, and someone who has built a career in male-dominated industries while raising kids and chasing growth anyway. It has been tough. It has been messy. It has been worth it.

In this show, I share what has worked, what has failed, and the lessons learned in the middle. I also bring in powerful women who are breaking barriers and refusing to shrink their ambition.

If you are done apologizing for wanting it all, this is your space.
Pull up a seat. Let’s get after it.
