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.

What do you do when you don't feel inspired? When you're staring at a blank page feeling uncreative, lost, and low energy...
How do you pull yourself out of it? SHOULD you pull yourself out of it?
In this Mental Monday episode, I want to talk to you today about how to reframe being in (I'll call it) "a cycle of chaos in your brain".
When I'm experiencing this, It's really hard to see past it. In this Mental Monday, I'll help you find perspective next time you're just "not feeling it".

Do you remember morning conditioning? Waking up at 5 AM to get yelled at by your coach and run sprints with your team in the rain (why was it always raining?).
Imagine all the energy it would have taken to wake up and do morning conditioning on your own. No team, no coach, just you relying on sheer willpower to create a workout plan, show up on time, and push yourself through your entire workout.
I don't care how dedicated you are, it is SO much harder to do it alone.
This is true for morning conditioning and it’s also true for entrepreneurship, parenthood, professional development... etc. etc.
Today on the podcast, I’m talking about the importance of finding community, especially in an area of your life where you want to excel.
After I left basketball, I didn’t even realize how much I missed having a community of people to lean on as I took on my next challenge of building a business. Finding a team is not easy outside of competitive sports. It’s not that you can’t build one, it’s just that it's not obvious how to go about building one.
Not only that, but when you don’t have a team, it can leave a void that you may not even notice.
In today’s episode I talk about:
- What happens in your brain when you’re surrounded by like-minded people.
- The time I spent $25,000 in search of a team (and what I learned)
- How I plan to bring mindset coaches together in 2024
- The unique challenges of entrepreneurs (+ how loneliness can derail you)
- The difference between friendships and teammates
It's time to get real about your support system, find out where you have an 'energy leak' and create community around your goals so that you can maximize your energy.
How do you think team plays (or has played) a role in your growth (or struggle) as an entrepreneur? Tell me about it on Instagram. And if you’re a mindset coach looking for community, I hope to see you in The Mindset Coach Academy!

"How are you?" Doesn't have to be a passive greeting.
I reconnected with an old friend the other day, and it sparked a new perspective on this question, one that had the power to change my week.
I talk all about it on today's Mental Monday.

I started playing hoops again.
You're going to be hearing a lot about this in the upcoming weeks because this is kind of a big deal to me.
And as a former professional athlete who hasn't played competitively in a while, it was really really humbling to get back out there and play.
It took a lot of reflection on my part to realize I was avoiding doing this thing that I devoted the first part of my life to. Because I knew I would be bad at it.
I talk more about this whole experience on today's Mental Monday podcast, so I hope you'll check it out, ask yourself, "What am I avoiding?" and feel inspired to do what you love, even if it's uncomfortable at first.

As a parent, I’ll take any help I can get. Period.
Today on the podcast, I am absolutely thrilled to introduce you to Jeanine Mouchawar, a parenting coach and certified life coach who works specifically with parents of teenagers.
If you are a parent of a teenager, you’re likely feeling growing pains. What worked for you before doesn’t work anymore. Your teens are craving more independence,
navigating social stresses, and juggling real world pressures and responsibilities. They might even be starting to do things that scare you.
If you have kids of any age, or coach teen athletes, stop what you’re doing and press play. You guys, this episode is absolute gold.
Jeanine created a 5-step framework to help parents like us guide, influence, and support our teens. Today, she’s breaking down each one to show you how to bridge the communication gap with your teen to transform your relationship.
Jeanine is an absolute superhero because she gives parents the lifeline that they’re looking for. She teaches strategies to navigate difficult conversations, become your teen’s go-to person, and actually enjoy the teen years.
What I love about this episode is:
- As a parent, I’m always hearing about the infamous teen years, and frankly will take all the help I can get. I learned SO much from this interview.
- This 5 step framework comes from Jeanine’s personal experience raising a challenging teenager who was engaging in risky behaviors. Her system really works, and she’s living proof of that.
- Jeanine gives parents so mant actionable ways to transform patterns of communication right away AND long-term.
Stop the parent-teen battles, stop feeling helpless, start taking actions that bring you and your teen closer together, and create the calm and peaceful home you so deserve.

Here’s a glance at the episode…
[1:59] Jeanine starts off by introducing herself as a parenting coach for parents who are either trying to navigate a tough relationship with their teen or hoping to prepare for the teen years.
[4:29] Parents often approach parenting teens by trying to stop a certain behavior that is making them worried. Jeanine explains how that creates a negative cycle.
[9:12] Teens need different parenting than they did when they were young. We can’t parent through force. Lindsey draws a parallel with being a sports coach.
[11:21] When your teen does something that scares you, your nervous system gets flooded. Step 1 of Jeanine’s 5 step system is about regulating your own emotional system before you talk to your kids. Shame plays a big role in you teen’s reaction.
[15:20] Jeanine and Lindsey chat about how you can calm your nervous system quickly using more ‘surface level ways’ for quick wins right away.
[17:48] Step 2 is all about zooming out and observing the behavior. Jeanine warns not to get into what she calls ‘mommy fast forward brain’ and what happens when you do.
[21:31] Getting curious is step 3 in Jeanine’s framework. What is your teen thinking/feeling/or causing them to make that choice?
[28:55] To meet your teen where they’re at, you have to normalize their feelings so they don’t feel alone. Tell them “YOU are not the problem, it’s you and me against the problem”. This is step 4. Jeanine offers some examples of healthy ways to chat with your teens, leading with empathy.
[31:45] Jeanine dives into step 5 which is all about helping your teens solve their own problems. Jeanine explains the importance of buy-in before offering advice.
[34:18] Lindsey and Jeanine chat about how coaches can apply this framework to sports, and how the parenting and coaching emotional framework has evolved over time. Lindsey asks “How do you approach disciplining your teen?”.
[39:27] Lindsey and Jeanine end the episode with a discussion on “natural consequences”, why they’re important, and how to know when it’s time to step in.

Today's Mental Monday episode is inspired by calls I've had with Mindset Coach Academy applicants. I find it so fascinating to meet and talk to people who are making a decision about whether or not to join my program.
The psychology of it in particular is really fascinating.
Because taking a big jump, putting money and time and energy toward the thing that you say you want is HARD. And it's something that a lot of people don't have the guts to do.
In this episode, I'm asking the question: What happens if you DON'T take action? Does the "hard" go away? Does doing nothing make it easier?
This episode may just change how you look at your goals and the risks you're willing to take to get what you want.

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.

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.

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.
