From Spandex to Self‑Sabotage: Heather Moyse’s Blueprint for Mindset Mastery

My guest today is Heather Moyse. Heather Moyse is a four-time Olympian, two-time Olympic gold medalist, World Rugby Hall of Famer and one of the most versatile athletes in Canadian history. But she’s more than her medals. She’s climbed Antarctica’s highest peak. Recovered from career-threatening injuries. And turned life on autopilot into a mission to help others stop settling and start leading lives that light them up. With a master’s in occupational therapy and a gift for helping people see the possibilities and unlocking potential, Heather now works with high performers, helping them rethink what’s “realistic”, prevent or overcome burnout, and lead with more energy, purpose, and power. Through her book Redefining ‘Realistic’, transformative coaching, and powerful keynotes, Heather doesn’t just inspire, she equips people to embrace challenges and thrive like champions. In this episode we discuss mindset, women in sports, self-sabotage, mental agility and high performance.Website: https://www.heathermoyse.com/IG - https://www.instagram.com/heathermoyseLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-moyse%E2%9C%A8-oly-bsc-mscot-15976550/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/heathermoyseFB - https://www.facebook.com/heathermoyse1Heather's Book - https://the-possibility-playground.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/book-redefining-realisticIn this episode you will learn:1. How taking responsibility for your mindset helps take you power back and opens the door to real change.2. Replace "Can I do this?" with "How close can I get?" to help remove the fear of failure and quiet the critics.3. Pay attention and try to catch yourself making an excuse or assumption and this will weaken the power of self-sabotaging thoughts.“I actually didn't start taking sports seriously or training or even lifting weights until I was 27. So I came at this whole high performance in sport world at a completely different angle than most people who start at four and are trying to reach the next level all the time."- 00:06:02“You can't change what you refuse to own. So once you accept that it is your mindset that needs to change or the way that you're thinking about things or whatever, not with judgment, but with curiosity." - 00:38:47"Our brains are naturally going to go to excuses or assumptions or whatever. I don't think the key is to try and never have them.The key is to catch us making them.” - 01:00:26Empowerography Live Conference 2026 | April 24th - 26th | Toronto, OntarioThe Empowerography Live Conference 2026 is more than an event, it’s a 2.5-day in-person experience designed to help women reconnect to their voice, their power, and their next chapter.From April 24–26 in Toronto, women from around the world will gather for deep conversations, powerful storytelling, hands-on workshops, and real human connection.
