*Replay* Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Where every mistake and unfortunate event just piles up on top of one another until you're convinced the universe is conspiring against you? It can be all too easy to fall into a downward spiral of negative thinking, but Mental Toughness Coach, Chris Dorris, is here to show us there’s a different way to think.

Chris started out as a social worker in Atlantic City helping the mentally ill, drug addicted, and homeless populations upgrade their lives. This eventually led him to his true vocation- helping people close the gap between how their lives are and how they want them to be.

Chris understands that our thoughts have a lot of power. And if we're constantly telling ourselves that things are going to go wrong, guess what? They probably will. 

Feeling stuck in a rut and like nothing is going your way? This episode is for you.

In this episode you’ll hear:

1.) Chris’ secret for mental toughness that's reshaped the lives of elite athletes and CEOs

2.) His journey from social worker to success coach and how he turned obstacles into opportunities

3.) Key strategies to master your mindset for breakthrough success

4.) Inspiring stories of authenticity and resilience

5.) Practical tools for mental toughness you can start applying now to transform your life
