    Cognitive Conditioning: The Simple Yet Powerful Way to Change Your Mind

    How is it that some people seem to be calm under pressure, aren’t bothered by spiraling thoughts, and walk through life with a sense of ease, even when things are hard? Could it be that they are just wired differently?  Or is it a skill that can be trained? Let’s find out. Today, I’m going to talk about how your brain changes through repetition and why intentional cognitive conditioning can completely alter the way you perform, not just in running, but in life.  You’ll learn: why repeated thoughts become automatic patterns,  how your brain builds stronger pathways through practice, and  why small daily mental reps often matter more than waiting until you feel motivated. If you have ever wondered why certain habits feel so difficult to break or why some thoughts arrive instantly the moment things get hard, this is the episode for you. And if you are ready to put the neuroscience in action and start actual cognitive conditioning training, get ready for something really exciting. Begin With Ten is my new 30-day cognitive conditioning program: ten minutes a day of guided brain training designed to help rewire the way you think using repetition, breathwork, and neuroscience-backed techniques used by elite performers around the world. This is not passive listening. You are actively training your mind with daily mental reps that strengthen calm, certainty, emotional control, and focus in a way that compounds over time.

    You Might Also Like: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

    Introducing Nischa Shah: #1 Financial Mistake People Make in Their 20s & 30s (Fix It With This Simple System) from On Purpose with Jay Shetty. Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty Today, Jay sits down with his dear friend Nischa Shah, a former investment banker and accountant who walked away from a high-status corporate career to help people rethink their relationship with money, success, and freedom. Nischa reflects on the “dark phase” she experienced while climbing the corporate ladder, realizing that the prestige and polish of banking had created a deep disconnect from her true self. Nischa invites listeners to confront a powerful question many of us avoid: “Would I still be happy if I were living the same life five or ten years from now?” Jay and Nischa shift into practical strategies for navigating money anxiety. Nischa introduces the “ostrich effect,” which is the psychological tendency to avoid looking at our finances out of fear. She shares her simple but powerful “three-bucket” approach to personal finance, where income is intentionally divided between fundamentals, fun, and the “future you.” By reframing the goal from financial success to financial happiness, Nischa offers a clearer, more intentional way to manage money, one that prioritizes peace of mind over status or external validation. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Assess Your Career Alignment  How to Calculate a Financial Cushion  How to Manage Income Using the Three-Bucket Method  How to Audit Spending with Three Key Questions  How to Turn Financial Knowledge into Action  How to Strategize Paying Off Debt vs. Investing  How to Increase Your Value and Earning Potential  It is never too late to begin reclaiming your narrative, whether that starts with building a small financial safety net for peace of mind or finally turning knowledge into decisive action.

RECENT REVIEWS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Love this podcast! I have been running for 24 year, but only 3+ as a plant-based runner.  I love the info that Coach Claire provides especially the mental strength techniques.  I recently got certified as an RRCA Level 1 coach, but have been a little timid in taking steps to begin coaching professionally.  I think being coached is probably the first step and Coach Claire seems like the best fit for me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So positive and helpful! 😍 Love this podcast and all the topics! Been listening for probably 2 years now and Claire is an amazing host. I appreciate how she keeps episodes concise with the occasional longer episode with a guest. As a vegan, I totally dig the plant-based info, but that is not the basis of most episodes–running is.  All the episodes I’ve listened to are encouraging and so positive. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A highlight of my week It is a gift to be able to have a space for plant-based runners to learn!  Claire’s advice is always solid and not just limited to the plant-based, but doesn’t include fueling your runs with unhealthy foods, which seems to happen on other podcasts.  Thank you!
