"Mindfulness isn’t about shutting off your thoughts—it’s about choosing which ones fuel success."
Welcome to a deep-dive into the reality of performance—both on the field and in life. On this episode of The Nick Standlea Show, I sit down with Micha Shaw, a former elite athlete turned mindfulness coach, to dissect what it really takes to win when the odds are stacked against you.
Expect raw honesty and razor-sharp insights. Micha doesn’t sugarcoat the fact that success isn’t just about natural talent—it’s a mental game. She shares how mindfulness, meditation, and even the humble act of journaling can transform nervous energy into competitive fire. If you’re tired of the endless hype and ready for practical, actionable strategies, this conversation is your blueprint for mastering the inner game.
Highlights Include: *How to flip anxiety into excitement and channel it for peak performance. *The surprising role of mindfulness in competitive sports and everyday life. *Why cold plunges, deep breaths, and even self-love notes might be your secret weapons.
This isn’t your typical inspirational fluff—it’s actionable insights for anyone ready to challenge the status quo and own their story. So, if you’re ready to unlock your potential, hit play and let’s get into it.
