She Broke the Mental Block, Shot Her Best Round Ever, and Fired Her Mom as Coach
from The Undoing · host Cynthia Mabry & Jenny McKim
She Broke the Mental Block, Shot Her Best Round Ever, and Fired Her Mom as Coach What happens when a mental performance coach's own kid won't let her coach them? You get this episode.Today I'm joined by my daughter Bella McKim, junior golfer, former cheerleader, Mid-Southern Conference hurdles champion, and the person most likely to roll her eyes at me on any given day, for a conversation I've been wanting to have since we lost Cynthia.Cynthia was my podcast co-host, my friend, and creator of the subconscious release and rewire program who worked with Bella on a tumbling mental block that we had been trying to crack for years. One session on Wednesday. Standing tucks by Thursday. A personal best 77 on the golf course shortly after. And zero credit given to her mom who set the whole thing up. (You're welcome, Bella!)We talk about how subconscious reprogramming actually works, what it felt like when the anxiety just... stopped, and what it's like growing up with a mom who knows exactly how to help you but is absolutely not allowed to.This one is real, a little funny, and a whole lot of love for Bella, and for Cynthia.#ForCynthia #StayCuriousEpisode Timestamps00:00 Welcome & Meet Bella02:22 Who was Cynthia and how did they meet02:45 "There's My Sweet Bee," Cynthia's nickname for Bella03:00 The tumbling mental block and working with Cynthia04:31 Standing tucks by Thursday, the breakthrough06:42 She shot a 77 and didn't know why08:25 Panic attack before nationals, a clearing session with one hour to go10:18 What is subconscious reprogramming and how does it actually work11:54 Muscle testing 101, anyone can do this13:59 Bella's senior year plans and college golf dreams15:58 Why Bella loves to be pushed hard in training18:02 "I just want you to be my mom"18:17 The moment that will make every parent feel seen19:13 Yoda, Venmo requests, and the sendoffResources & Links MentionedWork with Jenny: [email protected] With UsInstagram: theundoingpodFacebook: The Undoing PodYouTube: The Undoing PodTikTok: The Undoing PodEmail for guest inquiries: [email protected] This Episode?
