  • EP19 | What You Were Never Meant to Carry

    What are you carrying that was never yours to begin with?


    In this episode I walk you through an exercise that will show you exactly how much of your confidence is tied to things outside your control — other people's opinions, outcomes, and expectations.

    This week's challenge will help you shift your focus, take your power back, and show up with more clarity, intention, and self-trust.

  • EP14 | Nothing Is Wrong With You: The 3 Myths of Happiness

    Have you ever caught yourself thinking,

    “I’ll be happy when…”

    When you get the job.

    When you lose the weight.

    When life slows down.


    In this episode of Everyday MVP, we’re breaking down the three myths about happiness that quietly shape how we think, feel, and judge ourselves.


    You’ll learn:

    Why happiness was never meant to be your default state.

    Why not feeling happy doesn’t mean you’re broken.

    Why trying to control your emotions is keeping you stuck.

    And what actually creates a steady, meaningful life.


    If you’ve ever felt behind, defective, or like everyone else figured something out that you didn’t — this episode is for you.


    Because maybe nothing is wrong with you.

    Maybe you’re just human.


    🎯 This week’s challenge: Stop chasing happiness — and start living aligned with your values.

  • EP11 | The 3 Words Sabotaging Your Focus (And What to Say Instead)

    Have you ever told yourself, “Don’t mess this up” — and then immediately messed it up?


    That’s not a lack of discipline. That’s how the brain works.


    In this episode of Everyday MVP, mental performance coach Coryne breaks down three common words that quietly sabotage focus and confidence: don’t, should, and have to. These words may sound harmless, but they shape how your brain sees pressure, mistakes, and effort in real time.


    You’ll learn why your brain skips negatives, how “should” creates pressure without direction, and how reframing obligation as choice can instantly shift your mindset. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with practical language shifts you can use immediately — in sport, work, parenting, and everyday life.


    Change the words. Change your focus. Change how you perform.

  • EP10 | Do the Opposite: How to Change Emotional Reactions That Don’t Serve You

    Have you ever reacted emotionally and later thought, Why did I do that?


    In this episode of Everyday MVP, I break down Opposite Action, a powerful DBT skill that helps you regulate emotions by changing how you respond—especially when your initial urge isn’t helping you.


    You’ll learn why our automatic reactions often increase emotional suffering, how to ask the simple question “Is this effective?”, and how choosing the opposite behavior can reduce emotional intensity and build resilience over time.


    Through real client examples from sport and everyday life, I show how Opposite Action can help you respond with intention instead of reacting on autopilot.


    You’ll also be guided through a practical challenge you can use right away to start changing emotional habits and strengthening your mental performance.


    Remember: you can’t always control what happens or what you feel—but you can control what you do next.
