1h 16m · PublishedToday's Mental Strength Conversations episode is a bit different as I'm the interviewee in the hot seat. My good friend, artist and host of the Savvy Painter podcast Antrese Wood takes control of the microphone and talks to me about Mental Strength.
We talk about what mental strength means to me, how it's affected my life in different areas and how I've changed as an individual since focusing on it. We talk about the different ways you can show up as mentally strong, self-awareness and how the power of courageous conversations and getting feedback can help shape your success.
The subject of mental strength blind spots come up plus I share a piece of advice my mum gave me years ago that's given me the power to choose how I respond to events. Plus Antrese pulls no punches getting me to talk about my own self-sabotage and we talk about how you can stop yourself sabotaging your own success.
It was an fun experience having the spot light on me and I really hope you enjoy today's episode of Mental Strength Conversations.

51m · PublishedStephanie Bruce has been a professional US long distance runner for 10 years. She runs a 2:29 marathon and placed 10th and 11th at the NYC Marathon 2017/2018. She's also finished in the top 10 of the London Marathon. Which when you're talking 40,000+ competitors is no mean feat.
In 2018 she won her first US national title at the Peachtree Road Race, a story she recounts in today's episode that gave me excitement chills. She’s also recently been named in the US Cross Country team to compete in the World Cross Country Champs in March 2019.
Stephanie has also tried to make the US Olympic team four times and in today's episode shares a great re-frame of what not achieving that goal yet means to her. You have to check it out.
But that's not all. Stephanie is also a mum, a coach and an entrepreneur. All of which she covers in today's episode of Mental Strength Conversations.
In this episode Stephanie and I talk about her take on mental strength. From how she used the loss of her father to re-frame her approach to running and give herself the mental foundation to tackle any challenge, to how and why she views pressure as something positive, the 10/90 principle and why it's important to bear that in mind when you're training
Stephanie also talks about her approach to setting goals, her battle with injury and how it's helped shape her as a person and an athlete, how she overcomes feeling pain in a race plus why Stephanie never quits no matter how much it hurts.
I really enjoyed talking to Stephanie given she competes in a sport I see as a necessary evil. I think I'm coming around team!
