In this episode of Safe Harbour, Jamie Robins sits down with Swedish mental performance coach Tommy Davidovic, creator of The Flow Mindset, for a powerful conversation about pressure, performance, failure, fatherhood, and the emotional lives of men.

What begins as a conversation about athletes and mindset becomes something much deeper: how men handle fear, why we chase outcomes, what it means to surrender to the process, and why unconditional love for ourselves might be one of the hardest and most important skills we ever learn.

This is an honest, funny, and deeply human conversation for any man who has ever felt pressure to perform, hold it together, or keep moving without stopping to ask, “What do I actually need?”

• Fatherhood and how becoming a dad changes a man
• Why many men are scared of their own emotions
