    Your life is a game and THIS is how you win.

    Would anyone stay till the end of the movie of your life, or would they walk out halfway through? In this solo episode, I share the game I've been playing lately: treating my life like a movie and choosing to be the main character, not the sidekick or the NPC things just happen to. We talk about main character energy, using the "act as if" technique to build confidence before you feel ready, and why being a little delusional is what makes a life worth watching. It's a 3-step mindset shift that gets you to stop living for the audience and start living for you. If you've been playing it safe, waiting to feel ready, or living the version of your life you think other people want to see, this episode is for you! In this episode we cover: How to choose your character: getting clear on the goals, values and style of the person you actually want to beWhy acting as if is really just practice, and how your brain catches up to your actionsThe four words that can change your whole life: "what if I just…"Doing it for the plot, and why safe and comfortable makes a boring movieHow to become the watcher of your own life so failures stop defining you and start building your hero's journey Connect with me 💌 👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: morgan.eld.rett@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/ 📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE 🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrett TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Intro: Are you the main character or the sidekick? 01:45 – Looking back on the movie of your life 03:10 – Step 1: Choose your character 05:30 – Guitar Hero and the girl I forgot I wanted to be 06:45 – Live for you, not the audience 09:15 – The "act as if" technique 12:15 – Step 2: Be delusional 13:30 – "What if I just…" 15:00 – Do it for the plot 16:55 – Step 3: Be the watcher and control your perspective 22:35 – Being the main character is a daily choice 24:40 – Outro

    8 years hiding an eating disorder | my recovery story

    "The fear of staying in this forever became greater than the fear of change."Content note: this episode talks openly about eating disorders and recovery. No specific behaviours are discussed, but please look after yourself while you listen.For every year of my twenties, I had an eating disorder. Every birthday I wished this would be the year it stopped, and every year the shame got heavier. This year I finally told someone and got help. This episode isn't about what bulimia took from me. It's about eating disorder recovery, what I got back, and why the things I was most scared of losing turned out to be the opposite.If you've been quietly struggling with your relationship with food, telling yourself it's "not bad enough" to get help, or you're scared that recovery means losing your discipline and your identity, I want this episode to take some of that fear away. Scary things aren't bad things.If you've ever felt like your eating disorder is the only thing keeping you in control, this episode is for you!In this episode we cover:- Why I was so scared of recovery, and why everything I feared ended up being false- How disordered eating can hide behind discipline, routine and "looking healthy"- Telling the difference between your eating disorder voice and your healthy self- Why there's no light bulb moment, and what actually helped me heal- Keeping discipline in recovery by channelling it into the rest of your life- Your questions: intuitive eating, food noise vs an eating disorder, and whether bodybuilding was to blameIf you're struggling, you don't have to do this alone.

    Eugene Teo: How To Reinvent Yourself (Without Crashing Out)

    You spent years becoming the "perfect" version of yourself, so why does hitting the goal feel like nothing? Eugene Teo built one of the most respected names in fitness as a competitive bodybuilder, then walked away from the physique he was known for. In this episode we get into identity, self-worth, and what happens when the thing you've tied your whole sense of self to stops serving you. Eugene is refreshingly calm and clear about it: the discipline was never really about the body, and the moment he stopped chasing what he "should" look like was the moment everything opened up. We talk about why achievement can leave you empty, how fear quietly drives so much of our "motivation," and why he thinks the real skill is learning to redirect who you are instead of clinging to who you were. If you've ever felt lost stepping away from a sport, a goal, or an identity you outgrew — or you're stuck doing what you think you should do — this episode is for you! In this episode we cover: Why "killing off" an old version of yourself is the scary, necessary price of growthHow Eugene separated his self-worth from how his body looksThe fear hiding underneath most "discipline" and goal-chasingWhy burnout isn't from doing too much — it's from doing the wrong thingsHow to get "delusional" enough to build a life that stands outLearning to tell the difference between your intuition and your old programming You can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack! 📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morganeldrett Connect with me 💌👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: morgan.eld.rett@gmail.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrett TIMESTAMPS: (approximate — adjust to your final cut)00:00 – Intro02:00 – Retiring from bodybuilding and stepping away from the sport09:00 – Why the discipline was never really about the body15:00 – Living by your values instead of your achievements22:00 – Why bodybuilding makes it so hard to stop self-critiquing30:00 – Chasing respect, and where self-worth really comes from38:00 – Hitting the goal and feeling nothing: the fear underneath45:00 – "Be delusional": wouldn't it be cool if…52:00 – The thing Eugene's most embarrassed about60:00 – Why not having a goal might be working for you70:00 – Rethinking burnout: doing too much of the wrong thing82:00 – Doing something unrecognisable to stand out90:00 – Intuition vs. programming, and building the evidence

    Stuck In A Life That Isn't The Dream? Watch This | Sam & James Board

    They walked away from six years of engineering degrees, turned down an $80k job and everyone around them thought they were crazy. In this episode I sit down with Sam & James Board (the Board Twins) to unpack how two "C-grade students" from a small UK town went from making $1,000 a month between them to building a multi-million dollar online coaching business and the mindset shifts that actually made it happen. We get into why they chose learning over earning, how confidence is built (hint: it's not affirmations in the mirror), and the obsessive "growth season" nobody warns you about but almost everyone successful goes through. This one is packed for anyone who feels stuck in a job that isn't the dream, scared to bet on themselves, or waiting until they "feel ready" to start. If you've ever known you're meant for more but fear keeps talking you out of the leap, this episode is for you! In this episode we cover: - Why "learning over earning" is the mindset that changes everything - How to build real confidence through competence - Why making decisions faster (even the wrong ones) is the #1 skill for success - The obsessive growth season and why it's necessary - How your environment quietly raises the ceiling on what you believe is possible - Staying calm when it all goes wrong You can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack! 📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morganeldrett Connect with me 💌 👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: morgan.eld.rett@gmail.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/ 📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE 🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrett TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Intro 01:00 – Six years of engineering degrees… then walking away 04:30 – Turning down the safe job with zero clients (and mum in tears) 09:00 – "Learning over earning": the mindset that kept them going 13:00 – The days that feel pointless are the ones building everything 17:00 – Where confidence really comes from (it's not affirmations) 22:00 – Coaching for $40/month on purpose — killing imposter syndrome 28:00 – Why decision-making is the most important skill in life 34:00 – Burning through all their cash… and laughing through it 41:00 – The obsessive growth season and what it costs you 48:00 – Protecting your relationships while you're "all in" 55:00 – What success actually looks like now + Coach Vault

    The Top 1% Women Do This | Bec Stewart

    You can't just wish your way to your dream life - you have to become the person who already lives it. In this episode I sit down with Bec Stewart, founder of the habit-tracking brand The Habit Tracker, to unpack the "Future You" concept that quite literally changed both our lives. We get into identity shifts, aligned action, and why manifestation only works when you pair it with the discipline to show up as your future self before you become her. Bec built her business and manufactured her own "luck" over a decade — no overnight success, no shortcuts — and she breaks down the exact mindset that makes the top 1% of women unfuckable-with. This is the manifestation-meets-strategy conversation I wish I'd had years ago. If you've ever felt stuck, like you're chasing goal after goal without ever feeling like you've arrived, this episode is for you! In this episode we cover: The "Future You" filter — how to make every decision as the person you're becomingWhy luck is manufactured, not given (and how to make yourself "luckier")The habit-tracking hack that rewires consistency through small dopamine winsHow to reverse-engineer the identity of the top 1% womanChoosing the better thought — the two-arrows approach to bad daysWorking in seasons instead of trying to do it all at onceThe 10-year truth behind every "overnight success"You can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack! 📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morganeldrett Connect with me 💌👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: morgan.eld.rett@gmail.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrett🥦 1:1 Health & Fitness Coaching Apply here: https://form.jotform.com/250682685688071🔗 Velocity Activewear code MORGAN https://velocityactivewear.com.au/?ref=MORGANELDRETT TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Intro01:12 – Rapid fire: best and worst habits right now02:47 – Why habit tracking completely changed Bec's life04:43 – The first habit she ever tracked (peak F45 era)06:35 – Who is "Future You" and why she's your North Star08:49 – Is Future You just manifestation?

    How Bree Masters Built a Champion Mindset

    What if caring less is exactly what made her one of the fastest women in the country? Bree Masters is an Olympic 100m sprinter and the first Aussie in over two decades to make an Olympic sprint semi-final. She got there by refusing to take it all too seriously. In this episode we dig into the Olympic mindset most athletes get wrong: how she handles nerves and pressure by leaning into them, why she never had a post Olympic comedown, and how she started track at 23 when everyone assumes it's "too late." Bree's whole approach is a masterclass in staying carefree, enjoying the process, and building an identity beyond sport so one bad race never breaks you. If you've ever put so much pressure on yourself that it stole the joy out of the thing you love, this episode is for you! In this episode we cover: Why starting a new sport at 23 was her biggest advantage, not a setbackHow to use nerves as fuel instead of letting them wreck your performanceThe truth about the "Olympic comedown" and why she skipped it entirelyHandling online hate and keyboard warriors after a very public mistakeWhy consistency — not talent — is the thing that actually compoundsBuilding an identity beyond your sport so you never lose yourself You can also find the written breakdown and notes for this episode on Substack! 📖 Subscribe to my substack (it's free): https://open.substack.com/pub/morganeldrett Connect with me 💌👩🏼‍💻 Enquiries: morgan.eld.rett@gmail.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindsetloungepodcast/📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morganeldrett/📲 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.eldrett?_r=1&_t=ZS-94yTIxHuFrE🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@morganeldrett🔗 Velocity Activewear code MORGAN https://velocityactivewear.com.au/?ref=MORGANELDRETT TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Intro01:00 – Bree's "three lives": dance, beach sprinting, track06:30 – Why she started track at 23 (and why it's never too late)13:00 – Racing the best in the world & the candle analogy18:00 – How to handle nerves: why being nervous means you care26:00 – Dealing with pressure, expectation & online hate34:00 – The dropped baton, keyboard warriors & "be a goldfish"44:00 – The lonely reality of chasing the Olympics overseas52:00 – Qualifying by one spot: the most stressful months of her life60:00 – The post-Olympic comedown she never had68:00 – Identity beyond sport & life after retirement75:00 – Her one takeaway: consistency beats everything
