The Destiny Architecture® Podcast is Back with a New Episode to Kick Off 2024: Master Mindset with Author Terry Tucker!

Host: Heather Larson

I'll preface this by saying I recorded it in March of 2023...then sat it on for a good 9 months as I focused on the weekly guided meditation podcast.

I'm happy to bring back the Destiny Architecture® Podcast after a long hiatus since June 2022—and since renaming it. (It was formerly the Fearless 5). New episodes will drop on Wednesdays wherever you get your podcasts!

Terry Tucker is a former Division One college basketball player who overcame three knee surgeries in high school to achieve his dream of playing at the highest level. Despite the challenges, Tucker had the opportunity to play against legendary players such as Michael Jordan and teams like North Carolina State. His journey is a testament to perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.

Welcome to Destiny Architecture®, where we explore stories and insights that inspire personal growth and resilience.

In this episode, I share my journey of healing a ligament injury and defying medical prognoses, while also delving into the power of mindset in the face of physical and emotional challenges.

Joined by guest Terry Tucker, a former hostage negotiator and athlete, we unpack the importance of mindset, self-awareness, and embracing discomfort in healing and personal growth. From defying medical odds to finding inner strength during health crises, we explore the transformative impact of controlling the mind and facing pain with resilience.

Join us for a powerful conversation that will shift your perspective on overcoming challenges and creating an extraordinary life.
