What is "Through the Rough"?
The Moment I Knew I Was Done | Burned at Work Story
Through the Rough is a podcast about the moments life doesn’t prepare you for—and the clarity that sometimes follows. Every episode brings in someone who’s lived through something hard, real, or unexpected—and made it through with a story that could change how you see your own.
It’s not therapy. It’s not self-help. It’s people being honest about what broke them, what shaped them, and what they now understand that they didn’t before. We ask questions that dig below the surface—because that’s where the truth lives.
This podcast exists for anyone asking, Why is this happening to me? It won’t give you easy answers. But it might show you you’re not the only one asking that question—and maybe that’s the first step through the rough.

Meet the Creators
Hello! We’re Sam and Lindsay Julius, the husband-and-wife team behind Through the Rough.
I’m Sam, a South Dakota native who moved to Omaha on September 11, 2001. My lifelong curiosity shifted from how things work to how people think, leading to this podcast.
Lindsay, my wife and co-creator, was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, and has built a 15-year career in the medical field. Though more introverted, she shares my passion for deep conversations. Together, we’ve navigated life with honesty, integrity, and authenticity.
This podcast has been years in the making, shaped by challenges and fresh starts. We’ve quit, rebuilt, and refined our vision: creating a space for people to share stories, heal through vulnerability, and gain perspective on life’s struggles.
Through the Rough is more than a podcast—it’s a space for connection. Our goal is to foster open conversations, share experiences, and offer insights that help others. Whether moments of growth, breakthroughs, or raw honesty, we embrace the human experience in all its complexity.
Join us on this journey. Let’s learn, grow, and navigate life together.
Welcome to Through the Rough.
