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.

Are you asking for permission?
…to start your business, to call yourself an expert, to be paid for your skills, to take that vacation, to allow things to be easy, to step into the life that you really want?
Asking for permission is one of the easiest ways to get in your own way and postpone your success. Why? Because, chances are, you’re not immediately surrounded by people who will give you permission.
They may not…
- See or understand your vision
- Believe what you want is possible
- Have an affinity for action
- Have big dreams of their own
- Know how to hold space for you
- Even know you need support
And when you leave it up to outside forces, you may never get the permission you’re looking for. In today’s episode, i talk about the importance of giving YOURSELF permission.
I dig into:
- Where the habit of asking for permission comes from (think: kindergarten)
- Why we often surround ourselves with the wrong people (and why it’s human nature)
- How our inner beliefs can make things harder and hold us back.
- Why change is so hard, and what you can do about it.
Listen to this extended episode to give yourself permission, once and for all!

Picture this: You launch a webinar, 100 people sign up (woohoo!), but only a few show up (boohoo!). Perhaps you see that small number and instantly feel caught off guard, disappointed, discouraged, wondering if anyone is even interested in your message, etc. Perhaps you feel yourself give up before you even get started.
In today's Mental Monday, Lindsey offers advice for stopping the spiral and preparing for this very common part of selling.
The advice in this episode will change the way you think about your success and help you show up BIGGER and BETTER for those that are ready to hear your message.

Today I am thrilled to be interviewing my dear friend (and overall badass human being), Jenn Starkey!
Jenn is an author, a mindset coach, and a softball coach. She’s best known for putting on events for adolescent softball players that “challenge what most people believe is possible”
I absolutely love this interview with Jenn because she is not afraid to put it all out there, and I mean put it ALL out there. Jenn has been through so much in her personal and professional life, and she has learned to harness the messy parts of herself in a way that makes her, her athletes, and everyone around her BETTER. Jenn is earnest, optimistic, and truly one of the toughest people I know.
In this interview, Jenn talks openly about how she spent a year of her life training in Brazillian Jiu Jitsu as a way of processing pain and trauma from her past and starting a new chapter. She shares that she’s in the process of reinventing herself, and approaches this conversation with the kind of openness that takes an interview from good to great. Forged through the fire, Jenn has grown into a strong, vulnerable, person, amazing step mom, and kickass coach that is more than worthy of the spotlight.
Don’t we all love a good comeback story?
This is one of my very favorite episodes to date, and a reminder to all of us to invest in OURSELVES first.
Press play and enjoy this captivating chat with the one and only Jenn Starkey.

Is it fair to say that we (as a society) have worn out the word “confidence”?
Sometimes it feels like such a buzzword that it becomes hard to think of it in a new way. But today, I’m going to do my best to shed new light on this keyword.
For the next few minutes, I want to challenge you to think of confidence as the antidote to fear. As an action that we have the power to take in response to our fear. I want you to think about confidence as a verb.
If confidence is a verb, then it’s something you can stop waiting around for. Something you can actively grow and cultivate in your own life, something within your reach regardless of how you feel today or in any given situation.
In our cornerstone blog, 5 Myths About Confidence, we talk about the origin of confidence, the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic confidence, and finally, we debunk 5 common myths about confidence.
In this special extended episode of The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast, I’m going through each myth, one at a time, and sharing personal examples along the way to help me show you why you shouldn’t believe them.
Here are the 5 myths about confidence in question:
- Confidence is a result of success
- You have to feel confident to take action
- Faking it til you make it doesn’t work
- Confident people are confident all the time
- Some people are just born confident
In this episode, I explain why confidence is always in your grasp and offer you simple ways you can cultivate it. I share examples from my own life and give you advice to help you (and your team) build real, bulletproof, lifelong confidence that is based on internal belief and self-alignment, not on conditions or fragile ego.
Press play to be on your way to better confidence!

In this first Mental Monday of August, we are talking about how the body processes STRESS.
Everyone experiences stress, it's just part of life. But what many of us don't know is that just handling the thing that is causing us stress (like paying that stressful bill, or cleaning your house) may solve the problem on the outside, but it doesn't actually cleanse stress from the body.
In this episode, Lindsey shares a proven technique for helping your body process and recover from stress.
