Welcome to The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m Lindsey Wilson, former pro athlete, high-performance mindset coach, and entrepreneur and here we’ll dive into everything mindset. I have lived all these mindset tools- as an athlete, a business owner, a mom, a human. And together, you and I will sit in the student chair and study mindset. We’ll work on our own mindset and even talk about how to build a mindset coaching business if that’s your thing. With experts in the field, athletes, coaches, and other high-performance individuals, we are going to nerd out on the mental side of the game. This podcast is all about being a student of mindset. We believe mindset work isn’t about fixing or changing, it’s becoming more of who you were always meant to be. Here we work on our mindset. The good stuff, the hard stuff, the stuff most people won’t do. We have officially changed our name from The Inner Game to The Mindset Coach Academy podcast because we are specifically looking to grow as coaches and students of mindset. We’ll interview top experts in the field and high-achieving individuals about how mindset has brought them success, as well as dive deep into mindset training. New episodes will drop every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, as well as short 5-minute episodes every Mental Monday. Our first two guests are badass female Olympians successful on the playing field and rocking it off the field as well. We’ll start off with former Olympic Volleyball Player Courtney Thompson.

Today I am joined by Christen Shefchunas, former D1 swimming head coach and current professional Confidence Coach.
Working 1:1 with some of the greatest athletes and teams in the world, Christen coaches Olympians, World Champions, NCAA All Americans, and even high school athletes in their confidence to help them to seize their potential. From what to do in ‘pressure-to-perform’ moments to how to handle daily stressors and fears, Christen is on a mission to help guide a new generation of confident female athletes through her business, Coach Christen.
In addition to her boots-on-the-ground coaching, Christen is the creator of Confidence Nuggets, a bracelet line designed to remind women of their strength, and she’s the author of 30 Days to Confident, a month-long confidence challenge for female athletes.
Christen is a living breathing example of confidence. In this episode, she shares a lof of really simple things that can transform the way we show up in the world. One of my favorite moments from this episode is when Christen talks about the power of normalizing fear. This episode is full of advice that so many of us (dare I say, ALL of us) can benefit from, especially those of us who are women in sports, coach female athletes, or parent female athletes.
Couldn’t we all benefit from having more confidence?
Christen is here to help! Press play, and let me know what you think of my episode with Christen Shefchunas!

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[0:35] During her 16 years of coaching, Christen noticed that women were never the priority. Now, she’s on a mission to build up female athletes through confidence coaching.
[5:18] Christen explains how both fear of failure and social risk can impact an athlete’s performance. Lindsey asks the question, “Do athletes self-sabotage for the sake of fitting in?”
[7:53] How does a confidence coach stay confident? Christen gets vulnerable about what makes her nervous and how she’s trained her own brain to courageously face her insecurities.
[13:29] “You are in control of your life”. This is the phrase that launched Christen’s transition from coach to business owner. Taking us through the ups and downs of her first few years, Christen reminds us that building a business doesn’t happen over night!
[18:05] The moments right before you perform are often the moments that hold you back. Christen doesn’t buy into the idea of being “fearless”, but she does believe in getting honest, facing your fears, and making sure your words match your deepest beliefs.
[22:16] Oftentimes, athletes feel that they’re alone in their fear, but Christen’s never met an athlete without it. She openly talks about a time in her career when she messed up as a coach.
[28:06] Christen shares one fundamental thing she teaches all her athletes to help them accept their pre-competition nervousness and move past it to perform. She chats about her new book and her bracelet line.
[32:57] Lindsey shoots off a few rapid fire questions to get to know Christen. With each question, Lindsey peels back the curtain back on Christen’s personal routines, what she’s reading, what she’s creating, what she’s looking forward to, what she consumes, and what brings her joy.

Run towards failure!
If you want to be successful, you have to become familiar with failure. It’s part of the deal.
No successful business owner has gotten to where they are without a bad launch, no professional athlete has gotten into the big leagues without a bad game, no actor has landed an award-winning role without being told NO a hundred times before. I’m certainly no exception, and neither are you.
Failure is a precursor, inevitability, a rite of passage to success.
In this special, extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I dig deep into the psychology of failure and the big questions surrounding it.
For example:
- Why do we avoid failure? Hint: It has to do with our caveman/lizard brain
- How do the stories we tell ourselves about past or future failures define us?
- How can our fear and avoidance of failure act as a mirror?
- What becoming familiar with failure do to our brain?
- Psychologically speaking, what’s the best way to “run toward failure”?
From failing in the WNBA to failing in business, I talk openly about the times I let myself down. I share the stories I used to tell myself about failure, and how they’ve changed over the years. Finally, I give you tons of actionable tips to help you reframe the way you think about failure.
Listen to this extended episode and join me as I run towards failure!

This episode begins with this hard-hitting quote from Dr. Becky, "You cannot give out what you're not actively working on yourself".
In other words, practice what you preach.
From parenthood to coaching athletes, Lindsey reminds you just how important this is for anyone who hopes to influence others.
We hope you enjoy this Mental Monday episode. Remember to listen, share, rate, and review!

Today I am so grateful to be joined by the one and only Jake Thompson!
Jake’s resume is impressive, to say the least. He is an author, keynote speaker, coach, business man, and (best of all) an example of everything he teaches. In his trainings, team building workshops, and one on one coaching, he inspires everyone he works with to build grit, accountability, and compete every day for success.
In this episode, we talk about what’s good, what’s hard, and what has worked for him. We get into the problem with trying to be “fearless”, the magnetic influence of the 5 people you spend the most time with, and how to break down your big goals into bite-sized pieces. One of my favorite teachable moments in this episode is when Jake talks about “can’t-see choices that turn into can’t-miss results.”
Coming off of this interview, I feel like I just got a personal coaching session!
Whether you’re an athlete, coach, parent, or a mindset nerd, this interview with Jake Thompson is sure to get you fired up for your goals. Better still, it will help you stay on track making small, meaningful choices every day to achieve those goals and become better athletes and humans.
Press play, enjoy, and share with anyone who comes to mind as you listen to this kickass episode!

Here’s a glance at this episode:
[0:40] Jake talks openly about his ADHD and how he’s learned to harness it into growing his business. Jake and Lindsey discuss how time management is a mindset issue.
[7:00] Jake argues that it’s better to fear LESS than to be fearless. Jake gives tips for changing your relationship to fear. As he eloquently explains, “Courage isn’t being fearless, it’s learning to move while you’re scared”
[14:23] Your community directly influences your mindset. Jake talks in detail about the magnetic influence of the five people you spend the most time with, especially during times of growth and transformation.
[21:55] Jake explains how writing down your biggest fears can help you prepare to reduce your fear, take action, and flourish during times of struggle.
[23:45] What are the 5 core values that you want to live by? Jake vulnerably shares his core values and explains how these pillars support every action and choice he makes.
[28:00] From hitting the snooze button, to responding poorly to your kid, to re-starting when you get off track, Jake insists that success comes down to can’t see choices you make every day. As he puts it, “Can’t see choices turn into can’t miss results.”
[33:50] Small, incremental steps lead to long-term results. Here’s how breaking down your big goals into bite sized pieces can help you move forward.
[36:19] Lindsey shoots off a few rapid fire questions to get to know Jake. With each question, Lindsey peels back the curtain back on Jake’s personal routines, what he’s reading, what he’s creating, what he consumes from a content perspective, and what brings him joy.

There's a place for dissatisfaction. It's really hard to make a big change without it! But it can also lead to negative self-talk and stop you dead in your tracks.
