On today’s episode of Redefining Motherhood, I'm thrilled to welcome Lauren Johnson, a renowned performance psychologist and coach who has worked with some of the world's top CEOs, athletes, and organizations. Lauren's background in sport and performance psychology, combined with her personal journey as a mother, make her a true wealth of knowledge on the topic of mental resilience. In our conversation, Lauren shares how becoming a mom has redefined not only her role at home, but also her approach to her work. She opens up about her own struggles with self-doubt and imposter syndrome as a collegiate athlete, and how discovering the field of performance psychology was a game-changer for her. Lauren emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and the power of reframing our thoughts and beliefs to support our desired identity and behaviors. We also dive deep into the challenges of postpartum body image and the strategies Lauren used to overcome negative self-talk and develop self-compassion. Towards the end of our conversation, Lauren shares her exciting new venture, Mental Reps CO, a company dedicated to developing mental resilience in children. With staggering statistics about the prevalence of mental health issues in young children, Lauren is passionate about providing parents with the tools and resources to proactively support their children's mental fitness.
