The Practice of Being, Not Just Doing: Beyond Physical Reps with Rubina Chadha

I used to compete in CrossFit and walk into every competition thinking I was ready. I'd done the work, hit the lifts, drilled the movements. But the moment I'd see the other athletes, my head would leave the game entirely. Looking back, I had zero tools for that. No strategy, no practice — just me trying to will my way through it. That gap between physical readiness and inner readiness is exactly what my guest today has built her work around.Rubina Chadha is a mindfulness educator and trauma-informed coach who helps high performers train their nervous systems the same way we train our bodies — with actual reps, actual practice. In this conversation, we get into what presence really means when you have twelve things happening at once, why you can't think your way out of stress, how creativity can be a doorway back to yourself, and why the most productive thing you can do is learn to just be. If you've ever rolled up your yoga mat and immediately raged on the freeway, this one's for you.Connect with Rubina:http://theinnerdesign.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rubina-c https://www.instagram.com/theofficialrubina🔗 Stay ConnectedIf this episode resonated and you want more conversations about business, leadership, movement, and sustainable success, you can find me here:🌐 Website: https://www.leslieboyce.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leslieboyce_📝 Substack: https://leslieboyce.substack.com✉️ Email: [email protected] share weekly insights, behind-the-scenes reflections, and resources for business owners who want to grow without burning out.
