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.

Extended Episode - 3 Ways I Use Mental Training with My Kids
Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
One of the best things I’ve done as a parent is to teach my kids mindset tools. Simple, uncomplicated exercises that they can reach for when they need a little extra help.
Skills like identifying, communicating, and regulating your emotions are LEARNED skills. So as a parent who is also a mindset coach, I am always finding ways to teach my kids age-appropriate mindset tools.
Because I want my daughters to know that they are not their emotions. Their mindset can change their reality. They have control.
If you work with young kids as a coach, a parent, or a teacher, this is a game-changer.
I’ll start by saying I have 4 kids, all under 10. My kids are young. And trial-and-error is just part of the package deal right now. I’m not a fan of the ‘throwing spaghetti at the wall’ approach when it comes to coaching older athletes, but with kids, sometimes you have to try stuff and figure out what works for each kid.
I tell myself, if I can get it right 50% of the time, I’m doing okay.
In today’s episode you’ll learn tools to help your kids:
- Regulate their fight or flight response
- Understand what you’re telling them on a deep, psychological level
- Move through tough emotions like disappointment, fear, or anger.
- Feel seen, validated, and understood
As a professional mindset coach, here are three mindset tools I use with my kids.
P.S. What mindset tools are you teaching your kids? Come on over to Instagram and tell me about it! I’m always adding to my toolbox, getting it wrong, trying something else, getting it right occasionally.

Why Your Why Matters - MM
Monday Mar 11, 2024
Monday Mar 11, 2024
I just went to a mastermind where they started the session by asking us about our 'why'. And I tried not to roll my eyes.
I already know my why, I've done a lot of work on it already. Isn't this prompt a little cheesy and overdone?
I didn't really want to talk about it in the mastermind, but I did it anyway. And I'm surprised I'm saying this but I'm really glad I did.
Not because it taught me anything new about myself, but because it gave me a new perspective about the question.
Today on the podcast, I'm talking about why your why matters and why it's time to say it out loud AGAIN. I'm also giving you a bunch of journaling prompts, and sharing my why.

Sell The Results - MM
Monday Mar 04, 2024
Monday Mar 04, 2024
I don't want to talk about business today, but I do want to talk about selling.
Because we're all 'selling' something. You're selling yourself in your career, you're selling your spouse on the vacation you want to go on, you're selling your kids on going to school.
Today, I'm chatting about the psychology of selling, and teaching you one small but mighty mindset shift that will help you hear 'yes' more often.

Extended Episode - 10 Mistakes I Made In My Coaching Business
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Some of the best, most valuable coaching you can get from anyone is to learn about all the ways they f-ed up. As students, we’re always looking for someone to save us from mistakes. Save us valuable time, resources, and energy. To teach us the shortcuts so that we can get to where we want to be faster.
I’ve been a full time mindset coach for over a decade, and did mindset coaching on the side for much longer than that. So I can confidently tell you that I’ve made a ton of mistakes. Today, I’m going to share with you my top 10.
These are 10 ways I self-sabotaged throughout the years. By devaluing my own time, by thinking I could do this on my own, by overcomplicating, and by skipping really fundamental steps. Steps that would have helped me build a stronger foundation faster.
Please, for the love of god, learn from my mistakes.
Mistakes are an inevitable part of any big, brave journey. My mistakes are where so much of my learning as a business owner came from, and a big part of what got me to where I am today, which make them some of the most valuable things I can teach you.
Let me know which mistake resonates most with you, and tell me about a mistake you made in YOUR business.

When Gratitude Sucks - MM
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Today, I'm talking about the downside of gratitude. I wrote about this concept recently in my newsletter, because, at the age of 42, this is a new concept for me.
A lot of us here have similar traits. Traits that helped us be successful in sports. But sometimes, these strengths in sports don't serve us in other areas of our lives.
I'm really good at sucking it up. When something goes wrong, I am really good at minimizing it, shifting my thoughts, and focusing on all the good things in my life. That's a strength of mine in so many ways. But there's also a dark side to gratitude. And that's what I'm getting into today on The Mindset Coach Academy Podcast.
I'm so curious if you relate to my message today, so listen to today's Mental Monday episode to learn more and let me know what you think!

The Waterfall Technique - MM
Monday Feb 19, 2024
Monday Feb 19, 2024
I am loving how much emotional learning is going on in school these days. I am constantly impressed by so many of the things that my kids are learning about identifying and regulating their emotions.
For example, my kid's public elementary school has a calm space for kids to go when they're feeling overwhelmed. And they're learning how to label and identify their feelings with colors and something called a "mood meter".
And, you know what, I am HERE for it.
Side note - If you are a teacher who teaches this stuff to young kids, THANK YOU.
All that to say, today's Mental Monday lesson comes from my 3 year old. It's a little mental exercise you can teach your kids, AND use yourself. It works at any age.

Extended Episode - Do I Need an Advanced Degree to be a Mindset Coach?
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
I want to talk today about advanced degrees in the mindset coaching industry.
If you are thinking about joining The MCA Certification, you might be wondering if you should go back to school to get your degree instead.
This is a question that comes up all time, and it’s one that I fully believe you should be asking. Because if you’re really serious about becoming a mindset coach, you should explore all your options.
With 18 years of experience as a mindset coach, I have seen people go through my program both with and without degrees, and what I’ve learned is that an advanced degree does not determine whether or not you’ll be successful in this field. There are many other factors at play.
If you choose to go down the advanced degree path, I don’t want you to do it just because you think that’s what you SHOULD do. I want you to do it for the right reasons, knowing exactly what you have to gain by doing it.
The goal of this episode is to show you the big picture when it comes to advanced degrees so you can decide if you need one.
I won’t give you the answers, but I will give you the questions you should be asking so that you can make a decisive, informed decision, one way or another.

A Simple Exercise to Deal With Stress - MM
Monday Feb 12, 2024
Monday Feb 12, 2024
I bring a lot of hypnotism principles into what I teach. Now, because of all the preconceived notions around the word "hypnotism", I prefer to use broader words like visualization, metaphors, and breathwork. At its core, it's all of these things.
On today's Mental Monday, I'm sharing an exercise that I've been working on with my hypnotist, Dr. James Hollingsworth. This exercise has helped me settle my thoughts in time of stress and calm my nervous system when I'm feeling fried.
If you are going through something now, or just want to feel more equipped next time you're struggling, I really encourage you to listen to today's Mental Monday podcast and practice this exercise.
The more you practice it, the stronger it will get. Personally, I've been using it multiple times a day because it really does work.

The XMas Tree Goal - MM
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Monday Feb 05, 2024
Today's Mental Monday episode begins with a little story. The best thing about stories is that they're open to interpretation, and you can take what you need.
During the holidays, my house is wild. I have 4 daughters under 10 and my kids are all about Christmas.
Although the holidays are long behind us, this story (like all good holiday stories) has a lesson in it for all of us.

3 Ways to Visualize Today - MM
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
I want to take a moment to demystify the topic of visualization.
If you've been following me for a while, you've heard me talk about visualization. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan. I've used it to achieve my goals, on and off the field, and I've seen firsthand the life changing power of visualization over and over again. I believe visualization is one of the most powerful tools to help you get what you want.
That said, it's not uncommon to feel a little lost when it comes to visualization, maybe even a bit intimidated, or worried you'll do it wrong.
So today, i'm telling you exactly how you can start practicing visualization TODAY. You don't have to figure it out on your own, I've got you.
Press play to get started!
