This week, I'm joined by my SISTER, who also happens to be a psychologist!
In this episode, I finally do something I should have done long ago: pick her brain on all the useful strategies I (and others) could be using to improve mindset and mental performance.
Niamh shares plenty of tips on improving mindset, making life changes, dealing with stressful situations, and much more. She also provides valuable insights into the underlying drivers behind these behaviours, helping us understand what’s really going on and why we act the way we do.
I definitely learned a lot from this chat, and I hope you do too!
Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think!
