Cue the mini meltdown (understandably), but instead of backing down, Lisa leans into what she teaches: mindset, perspective, and the power of showing up for yourself.She breaks down the difference between outcome goals (like winning a trophy) and performance goals (like staying consistent, and training with intention).
