Aligned, Not Assigned: Finding Your Own Timeline with Beth Gulotta

On this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of? , Mike “C-Roc” sits down with therapist, podcast host, and passionate advocate for personal evolution, Beth Gulotta. Together, they dive deep into the weight of societal timelines and the pressure they impose—especially on ambitious, goal-driven individuals. Beth opens up about how pressure can either propel us forward or paralyze us with anxiety, depending on whether it aligns with our true desires or is rooted in external expectations. Beth and Mike "C-Roc" explore the tension between performance and surrender, intention and distraction, and how often people unknowingly pursue goals they never truly chose. Beth shares how her work helps people dismantle the “shoulds” that dominate their lives and instead reconnect with what they actually want—goals based on their own values, not someone else's blueprint. The conversation touches on the importance of reflection, the value of delayed timelines, and the transformative power of resilience and curiosity. Beth gets personal about her own journey, from walking away from a finance career she hated to discovering her path as a therapist and launching her podcast, Quiet The Clock. She also speaks candidly about finding love and motherhood later in life and how, in hindsight, everything happened at exactly the right time. This episode is a timely reminder that progress isn’t linear and that our unique journeys are not only valid—but worthy of celebration.
