Becoming My Stronger Me
"Becoming My Stronger Me” is a podcast designed to help you become stronger in mind, body, and heart.
Season 1 - Like 47 million other Americans, I voluntarily left my successful full-time career to pursue, well, whatever was next. We’ll call this “my great resignation.” As you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m a type-A planner. So to make a life choice without some grand detailed master plan on the other side was unheard of. But now, 2 years later, it was the best decision of my life. Join me as I share my story, questions I asked myself (or wish I had), missteps I made (and how to avoid them), the effect this had on me and everyone around me, and other musings that helped me to become my stronger me.
Season 2 - The Mental Performance Series is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between mental performance, sports excellence, leadership, and personal growth. We’ll dive deep into the psychology behind peak performance in athletics, leadership roles, and everyday life. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize your mental game on the field, a leader seeking to inspire and motivate your team, or an individual striving for personal growth and success, this series provides practical tips, actionable strategies, and inspiring stories to help you unlock your full potential and become your stronger you.

What Mental Performance Really Is (and Isn't)
Season 3 of the Becoming My Stronger Me podcast begins with the foundation every athlete, coach, and parent needs: a clear, evidence-based understanding of what mental performance actually is — and what it is not.
In this episode, Coach Nassim defines mental performance through the lens of applied sport psychology and performance science, clarifying how mental skills differ from motivation, mindset talk, and clinical mental health care. The conversation explores the ethical scope of practice, why psychological skills are trainable, and how confusion around mental performance can lead to unrealistic expectations for athletes, coaches, and parents.
This episode sets the stage for the entire season by establishing shared language, clear boundaries, and a research-informed framework for understanding confidence, focus, emotion, and performance under pressure.
Whether you are an athlete looking to train the mental side of performance, a coach shaping learning environments, or a parent supporting development, this episode provides the clarity needed to build mental performance with intention and integrity.
