What can you do when you know your schedule is about to shift? 

 Perhaps you’re about to go into a season of chaos like a job change, summer vacation, the holidays, starting a business, or going back to school. Or maybe you’re about to quit your job, take maternity leave, or go on vacation and you know you’ll suddenly have a lot of time off (maybe too much time).  

I’ve experienced both sides of this. As a former professional athlete and mom of 4, I will say, I’m much more comfortable with chaos than I am with days and days of free time. And when I don’t plan ahead and set myself up for success, I can come out of the other end feeling really s*****. 

If you are about to enter either a busy season without a plan, it’s really easy to end up in a shame cycle which can erode your confidence and make you feel like you don’t know how to manage your time. Planning ahead can totally change your experience and remind you that you are in control!

This is a marathon, not a sprint. And you’ll find that it’s way easier to stay steady and keep the momentum going by planning ahead.

Listen to the full episode for context, and come back to the 3 step outline below whenever you need it.

Step 1: Fight for your time.

Don’t let decisions get made for you.

Q: What do I need to do to create space in my life this summer?

Q: What would having that time mean to me?
Q: How would it feel?

Step 2: Commit to less than you think you can actually get done.

And overcommit to those few things. i.e. Come hell or high water, I WILL do these 3 things. 

Q: What do you actually want/need to accomplish?

Q: What do you need to do to make sure it gets done?

Q: How will you mark your progress along the way?

Q: How can you clarify the path forward for yourself?

Step 3: Schedule mindset work.

Your mindset work is the key to aligning your thoughts and your actions with what you want.

Q: How will regular mindset work help you?

Q: How will you feel at the end of this season when you’ve stuck to your plan?

"Emotions shape, they don't just describe"

In today's Mental Monday, I'm challenging you to think about the language you're using to describe the world around you, and how your words shape your experience.

This episode is a firm reminder that your experience is never objective, and that can be a good thing!

Borrowing the above quote from Brene Brown, I'll help you reclaim your story with the simple practice of reframing the way you TALK about it.

Today's lesson begins with the question: Where can you save your energy?

High performers and athlete-minded people like you are willing to do the work, whatever it takes, to get where you want to go. But many accept unnecessary difficulty along the way.

In today's episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I'm challenging you to focus your energy on what matters most as you push yourself toward that next level.

I had the great pleasure of interviewing The Bodacious Brotherhood. The BB came together in The Mindset Coach Academy Certification when they were randomly assigned to the same small group. 

I always say that you “get out of the small group what you put into it”, and these men showed what’s possible when you cut the bullshit, get vulnerable, and put it all on the table. 

I first noticed this group had a special bond when they started calling each other out during our weekly big group calls. I knew I had to get this group of men on the podcast to talk about how they pushed past social norms to create this special group centered around radical honesty and vulnerability. 

In the episode, we cover:

Here’s a glance at the episode…

[1:02] Lindsey introduces The “Bodacious Brotherhood”, and asks each one of the members to introduce themselves.

 [5:17] Brandon explains where their group name comes from. As a group, they started with “belief” and grew from there. Brandon talks about how a family emergency created intense vulnerability in the group early on and how he used The BRAVR Method.

 [10:17] John-Austin speaks on how the group approached working on themselves from a holistic perspective; wanting to be better fathers, husbands, business owners, and coaches. 

 [12:54] Brandon tells a story about a time he froze in the spotlight, and how the BB held him accountable. The group talks about how they helped each other remember their strengths how that forged a bond.

 [17:10] Jeff shares how he believed “Iron sharpens iron” in the group. Lindsey asks Ken about his experience as an ongoing MCA team leader. 

 [22:26] The BB talks about the key moment in the group that forged emotional safety. They go on to share specific examples of times when the group’s accountability and coaching made a big difference.

 [25:41] John-Austin talks about how rare it is to have vulnerable male friendships, and what the group has meant to him. 

 [27:56] Societal norms around male friendships make it hard to connect. Jeff talks about his intentional approach to creating mens groups.

 [31:55] The BB speak on how you “get out of it what you put into it”, and how that mindset shaped the value of their weekly team meetings. Lindsey asks how this experience will help them as leaders moving forward.

 [35:30] Ken identifies the transformational power and value of the small groups in The MCA Certification and the group wraps up by sharing their advice for men wanting to develop deeper connections.

In this Mental Monday, I'll give you everything you need to help your athletes faster using tools that already exist and are proven to work.

Press play to get started!

Midway through The Mindset Coach Academy Certification, a lot of students start feeling behind. And it can be really discouraging.

If you are feeling behind, whether that's in your career, or relationship, or life in general, I encourage you to ask yourself this:

"What if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be?"

How might this question shift the way you think about yourself and the way you show up?

Can you help people… and make money? 

Can you be a good person… and make money? 

Can you make a real difference… and make money? 

Money comes up a lot with my MCA students. And it’s rarely about counting dollars and cents. Money is symbolic, and a lot of us have a complicated relationship with it.

There’s a lot to unpack when it comes to choose whether or not to charge money as a mindset coach, and today, I’m coming in hot with 3 reasons why I believe you absolutely, 100%, no doubt about it, need to charge money as a mindset coach. Because you playing SMALL won’t inspire others to play BIG. 

If you are on the fence or feel guilty about making money as a mindset coach, I URGE you to listen to this episode.

I recently took a trip to LA with my longtime friend, Brianne. We came across a booth on the promenade where people were asking moms to give advice.

I don't normally do things like this, but In this case, I was inspired to sit down and share one bit of advice I would give to my younger self. Back when I was just becoming a mom.

In today's Mental Monday, I'll share what I said, and (more importantly) what I learned from sharing it.

Another piece of advice I would give to parents is to start teaching your kids visualization!

Do you need to work on giving people grace? I know I do.

Today's episode is a reminder to myself that I can never really know what other people are going through.

👉🏻 That server that is taking forever with your check
👉🏻 👉🏻 The parent that's losing their patience with their kids
👉🏻 The person that just cut you off in traffic

Your brain will always prioritize your own experience which means that giving other people GRACE is something that takes practice.

💡What's one trigger for you? When do you need this reminder?

I'll go first 👉🏻 I need this reminder when I'm on the phone, stuck on hold, in customer service hell 😅
