When Survival Mode Looks Like Success | ft. Dr. Amy Hoyt

from Becoming Steadfast · host Nolan Sullivan

You can be disciplined, driven, and high-performing—and still feel completely out of sync.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amy Hoyt of Mending Trauma to talk about what happens when your nervous system is constantly in overdrive, how that can show up as anxiety, distraction, overthinking, or feeling “off,” and why self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools for getting yourself back on track.This conversation is especially personal for me. I worked with Dr. Amy throughout this past hockey season to work through performance anxiety and improve my focus, and the impact it had on my season was significant.We dive into the mental and physical side of performance, why athletes and high performers can be so good at pushing through while missing the signs that something is off, and how learning to recognize your patterns can change the way you perform, lead, and live.When you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, you can change what happens on the surface.Go to https://www.mendingtrauma.com/ to book a free consultation
