Mastering the mindset to reach peak performance
“If you’re a woman navigating a difficult environment, often you think that you have to work harder to be successful. But what if you redefined the game you’re playing as something that’s easy for you and allows you to shine a light for other women? What if you decided that you enjoy being in that flow, and that you’ll thrive through that roller coaster of emotions?”
In this episode, we sat down with Swiss Olympic athlete and coach David Karasek to discuss the power of the mind and the principles of ‘peak performance’ for moving beyond what’s comfortable and realistic so that we can trust the vision that’s true to ourselves and create the life we want.
Listen in for insights on how to empower your mind and reframe your thinking to push past your limits, define what you truly want and show up as your best self in your family, relationship, and career.
