#18 The Week That Makes High Performers

This episode lands in that strange stretch between Christmas and New Year’s when the leftovers are hanging on, the schedule is gone, and most people feel stuck between who they were this year and who they want to become next year. I talk about regret, pressure, the fear of setting goals you are worried you will miss again, and why this week makes those feelings louder. I walk you through how high performers approach this time of year and how I reset my own mindset before stepping into 2026. I share how your dog rises when you rise and why your state shapes their behavior more than anything you teach. I also take you back to the season when coaching saved me at twenty-one and how that experience still guides my work today. If you want clarity, courage and a stronger start to 2026, this is your bridge into it.
