Episode 53: You Are Not the Voices in Your Head, or How to Fix Your Self-Talk
My coaching intake questionnaires ask about fitness history, equipment, fueling, and injury background, but the thing athletes flag most consistently is imposter syndrome — and it appears whether an athlete has done fifteen Ironmans or is two weeks out from their first sprint triathlon. In this solo episode of The Infirmary, I break down the two types of self-talk — motivational and instructional — and walk you through a three-part process for catching negative internal voices, tracing them back to their source, and giving them a more useful job. The episode closes with a free five-exercise worksheet, "Meet Your Chorus," that connects everything covered here to work you can start this week, and you can grab that below.
