I Can Jump on a Pogo Stick With No Hands

Welcome to The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success. You made it through the hard season. The money was gone, the odds were bad, and somehow you figured it out. Then someone called it resilience, and you waved it off, because you had no choice, so it doesn't count. In this episode (Part 1 of a 3-part series), I tell you how a kid who grew up with no money and never had a single dance lesson taught herself back handsprings, made the elite drill team, and won a state championship on a pogo stick. Then I show you why "I just had to" is still resilience, how visualization quietly rewires what your body can do, and why your stubbornness is proof you'll figure out the next thing too. 🎯 In this episode, I riff on: The pogo-stick-with-no-hands backstory (yes, there's video evidence) Growing up in a family of eight on $12,000 a year Teaching herself cartwheels, handstands, and back handsprings with zero lessons Making the elite drill team after a coach slipped her a note in class The visualization trick: picture a ballerina, then become her Why your subconscious can't tell mental rehearsal from the real thing Using the same move to learn mountain biking The Austin Powers pogo-stick prop routine that won state Why "I just had to" is still resilience The reframe: call it determination, call it pure stubbornness, it still counts Your 100% track record of always figuring it out What resilience actually is: bouncing back, even when it's ugly Be compassionate with yourself as you figure out the next thing 📬 Subscribe to the newsletter → https://www.mentalmastery.com/newsletter The stuff I'd tell you in a coaching session about mindset, energy, and getting out of your own way.   PS.
