High Performance Mindset | Learn from World-Class Leaders, Consultants, Athletes & Coaches about Mindset

In this episode, Dr. Cindra dive into one of the biggest barriers to confidence and high performance: the inner critic. You know that harsh voice that nitpicks, second-guesses, and drains your energy? Learn how to recognize it, challenge it, and replace it with empowering self-talk that fuels your purpose and potential. Dr. Cindra shares a real coaching story of an NFL kicker who learned to notice, name, and swap his inner critic — transforming his mindset and performance. You'll walk away with practical strategies to calm your body, reframe your thoughts, and strengthen your belief system. Key Takeaways:

• Everyone has an inner critic — it's human, not a flaw.
• The three steps to manage it: Notice it, Name it, Normalize it.
• Use The Truth Meter to test your thoughts: "Is this true? Is it serving me? What's a more empowering thought?"
• Small, consistent mental reps create lasting confidence.
• Remember: your inner critic is loud, not accurate.
