These 3 Projects Are My Life—and They Might Change Yours Too
Jul 18, 2025
Hey there,
Let me tell you something personal.
Not too long ago, my life looked “fine” on the outside. I had the job. The responsibilities. I was checking all the right boxes.
But inside? I felt confused. I was tired, frustrated, and wondering…
“Is this really all there is?”
I didn’t know it at the time, but I was chasing someone else’s version of success—not mine.
That’s when I started making changes. Big ones. I got quiet. I reflected. I started to define what success actually meant to me. And everything started to shift.
Now, I help others do the same. I’ve created three tools to guide that journey. They each support a different part of the process—planning your steps, hearing the truth in stories, and getting direct support.
Let me walk you through them.
1. The Personal Success Planner
Clarity, One Day at a Time
This planner was born from my own frustration.
I was trying so hard to make progress—but I never felt like I was getting anywhere. My to-do list was a mess. Half my to-do list was in my phone, the other half was written in a planner. There was no follow through, no congruent system. I had big goals but no system. I felt scattered.
Sound familiar?
The Personal Success Planner isn't another version of a day-timer. It's not for everyone to be sure. It is a complete productivity system. It is a 90-day, fully customizable planner, bullet journal, weekly review and priority management system that helps you get clear on your goals, focus your energy, and reflect and track your progress—all without burning out.
Here’s what it helps you do:
✅ Define your values
✅ Set a high-hard goal that really matters
✅ Break that goal into yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily steps
✅ Build new habits that support your success
✅ Review and refine your path every week, month and repeat 90 days
It’s not just about productivity. It’s about alignment.
This planner gives you a calm, structured space to focus on what actually matters. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just small steps that build toward something bigger.

2. The Personal Success Podcast
We explore the paths to living authentically, finding fulfillment, and defining success on your own terms.
Sometimes, the thing that helps the most is hearing someone else say, “Me too.”
That’s why I started The Personal Success Podcast—to share honest, real, and often emotional stories from people who are figuring out what success means for them.
Every week, I sit down with guests from all walks of life:
-
CEO's, coaches and entrepreneurs
-
Teachers, creatives, and parents
-
People who’ve taken big risks
-
People who’ve failed and found new meaning
We talk about burnout, fear, clarity, change, and purpose. But more than anything, we talk about what it means to live a life that feels right—not just looks right.
If you’re someone who ever feels stuck, unsure, or just ready to make a shift, these episodes will speak to you.

3. Ryan Watts Life Coaching
1:1 Coaching + Sacred Shifts Group Program
Here’s where it gets really personal.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about your next steps or you've found it hard to discover a space where you can define you, know you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My 1:1 coaching is designed for high achieving people who are ready to slow down, reconnect with what they want, and find a space to define themselves.
We start with one conversation. No pressure, no expectations. Just a safe place to share where you’re at.
From there, we co-create a roadmap—based on your goals, values, and the season of life you’re in.
What does coaching look like?
-
Weekly 1:1 sessions
-
A space to define and refine yourself
-
Tools and exercises from neuroscience, coaching, and psychology
-
A real, judgement free coaching relationship (not someone telling you what to do)
And if you prefer community?
You might be perfect for Sacred Shifts, my 10-week group experience.
Sacred Shifts is for people going through big life transitions—career changes, identity shifts, personal awakenings—and want support as they move from confusion to clarity.
Each week, we focus on one of the 10 Sacred Shifts, like:
-
Comfort → Becoming
-
Drifting → Defining
-
Motion → Meaning
If you’ve been thinking:
-
“Something needs to change, but I don’t know where to start.”
-
“I want more, but I’m afraid of messing it up.”
-
“I’ve done the work, but I still don’t feel like me.”
…this space is for you.

Why These 3 Tools Work Together
Each of these projects plays a unique role in your growth:
-
The Planner provides the structure your success with daily clarity.
-
The Podcast gives you real stories and insights from those who have been there, to inspire your own shift.
-
Coaching (1:1 or group) gives you the space to move define your essence, purpose and leadership with intention, clarity and courage.
They are different tools. But they all lead to one thing:
Providing you the space to define you on your terms—and build a life that matches it.
You Don’t Have to Be “Ready”
You Just Have to Be Honest
Listen, I know how scary it can feel to start something new.
You don’t have to leap off a cliff.
You don’t have to have all the answers.
You just have to begin.
If all you do is download the planner and fill out one page—awesome.
If you listen to one podcast episode and think, “Wow, I needed that”—you’re already on the path.
If you book a free coaching call just to talk about what you’re feeling—that’s brave.
Start where you are.
Let go of the pressure.
You are not behind. You’re just beginning something real.
