In this episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I sit down with author and mental performance coach Mikail Maillet, the mind behind the book Your Mind or Your Life. We dive deep into the hidden battles happening in your head every single day — the thoughts that sabotage you, the patterns that keep you stuck, and how to finally take ownership of the direction your life is heading.

Mikail breaks down the core message of his book: you can either run your mind, or your mind will run you.

The real meaning behind “choosing your life over your impulses”

How people unconsciously create their own suffering

Tools to interrupt negative thought loops and mental spirals

Why self-awareness is the foundation of freedom

How to stop reacting and start intentionally living

What happens when you stop negotiating with your excuses

The psychology behind discipline, self-talk, and building your identity

Whether you're fighting through a tough season, rebuilding your habits, or trying to level up mentally, this conversation is packed with clear insights, real stories, and practical tools you can use today.

If you’re ready to take back control of your thoughts, your direction, and your life — this episode is for you.
