From Wrestling to Real Life: Jessie Notarius on Confidence & Mindset | Episode 511

In Part 2 of our conversation with Jessie Notarius—known in the wrestling world as The Unwilting Tatiana—we take a deeper dive into self-worth, boundaries, and personal growth. Jessie reflects on what it truly means to deserve respect, understanding, and equality in relationships, and why settling for less can cost us valuable time and energy. Through thoughtful discussion, we explore how mindfulness and self-awareness can help us build stronger self-esteem and healthier connections. The conversation also uncovers the contrast between confidence in performance environments—like stepping into the wrestling ring—and the self-doubt that can creep into everyday life. Jessie shares how she manages anxiety, organizes her responsibilities, and approaches challenges with a problem-solving mindset. We also discuss: • The power of gratitude and shifting perspective • How to engage with negativity in a constructive way • The importance of asking for help and building knowledge • Translating wrestling preparation into real-life organization This episode is a powerful reminder that the way we speak to ourselves shapes the life we create. ⸻ • Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast app • Support us on Patreon for ad-free episodes: https://www.patreon.com/c/fishingwithoutbait • Pick up our book: “Learn to Fish Without Bait: A 365-Day Mindfulness Journal and Adult Coloring Book” 👉 https://www.lulu.com/shop/james-ellermeyer-lpc-ma-ncc-lpc/learn-to-fish-without-bait/paperback/product-6n9rd8.html?page=1&pageSize=4
