NatVW ,

Motivating…also interesting and fun!

I’m writing this on New Year’s Eve and can’t help but think that this show should be part of everyone’s resolution! Each episode dives into the “whys” around our mental health and performance but also gives doable, realistic takeaways that you can implement in your own life and your own context. Yes that could look like high performance in a profession (like the episode with the Special Forces member in Dec ‘22) or high performance in sport (like the Olympian interviewees back in Aug), but the wonderful thing about the themes explored in this podcast is that, when practiced, they can carry over to the day-to-day, whether that’s parenting, navigating a difficult relationship, or even just sleeping better! I know I’ll be following this show in 2023. Thanks, Kerri!
