Send us Fan MailWhy self-awareness, willingness and discomfort matter when it comes to thriving under pressure.In this episode of Unlocking Human Potential, I sit down with Susie Kindred for a deeply human conversation about pressure, wellbeing, resilience, and what it truly means to thrive in modern life.So many ambitious people appear successful on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck. This conversation explores why.Together, we unpack:The relationship between discomfort and performanceEmotional intelligence, self-awareness, and training presence under pressureWhy so many high performers operate from fear and self-protection instead of trustThe importance of play, compassion, and staying connected to what mattersHow leaders can better understand themselves and othersThis isn’t just a conversation about achievement or potential.It’s a conversation about being human.Susie shares honest and practical reflections on identity, sustainable high performance, and what we need to be willing to experience in order to grow. If you’re a leader, founder, creative, athlete, or someone navigating pressure, growth, or change, this episode will challenge your thinking and help you reflect on how you show up in the world.About Susie:Today’s guest is someone who sits right at the intersection of high performance… and being fully human.Susie Kindred is a clinical psychologist, performance and mindset coach, and someone who has spent over 15 years working with leaders, athletes, creatives, and high achievers operating under real pressure. But what makes Susie different is this, she doesn’t just focus on performance in isolation. Her work is about sustainable high performance… helping people thrive without burning out, think clearly under pressure, and stay connected to what actually matters. She’s worked across clinical psychology and high-performance environments, blending science with real-world application to help people train their minds like they train for everything else. In this conversation, we go deep into the inner game, how you manage pressure, navigate self-doubt, and build a version of success that actually feels good to live.If you’ve ever achieved a lot… but still felt like something was missing this one’s going to land.” https://kindredthriving.com/resources/ https://kindredthriving.com/shift-waitlist/ Support the show
