You've heard about setting goals, about changing your mindset, about adopting healthy habits… but have you heard about the psychology behind it?


This week I sit down with Performance Psychologist Nick Ferrier who has worked with Athletes, CEOs and even some Politicians to help them hack their mindsets to live their happiest and most productive lives. 


We discuss the importance of mindset, how to bounce back from failure, and the role of consistency in achieving success. Nick also shares practical tips for parents on how to help their children manage stress, social media, and navigate the ups and downs of teenagehood.


You’ll learn:

  • How to turn failure into a tool for growth and learning
  • How to manage anxiety and nerves with 2 unique breathing methods
  • Practical advice for parents raising young athletes
  • The role of stress in performance, and how to manage it effectively
  • Why visualization is a powerful tool for success - and how to do it right
  • How to avoid burnout without holding yourself back

    • … and SO much more.
