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.

Emotional Regulation in Real Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Understanding your emotions is only the first step. The next challenge is learning how to respond to them when the pressure is on.
In Part 2 of the Emotions & Regulation mini-series, Coach Nassim explores the science of emotional regulation and why mental toughness isn't about suppressing emotions—it's about working with them.
Drawing from research on self-regulation, neuroscience, physiological regulation, and performance psychology, this episode explains how the brain, body, and emotions are constantly influencing one another. You'll learn why emotional regulation is a trainable skill, why your nervous system isn't working against you, and how your response—not your emotion—often determines what happens next.
Coach Nassim also introduces practical strategies that athletes can begin using immediately, including the 6-4-10 breathing reset, attentional shifts, purposeful self-talk, and recovery routines that help athletes regulate emotions before, during, and after competition.
Whether you're stepping into a championship game, preparing for an important presentation, leading a team, or supporting a young athlete, this episode will help you better understand what happens during emotionally intense moments—and how to respond with greater awareness and intention.
