In this recap episode, I’m sharing the biggest lessons I took away from my conversation with Emma Murray, mindset coach to some of Australia’s best athletes, and explaining how I feel her wisdom and understandings can benefit everyone.

Emma’s insights on mindset and mindfulness weren’t just relevant for elite athletes or high-pressure environments; they’re practical tools we can all use in everyday life. From catching your self-talk before it spirals, to understanding the difference between helpful and unhelpful thoughts, to building habits that create clarity and confidence, these ideas have changed the way I think about showing up as my best self.

I talk about the strategies that resonated most with me, how I’ve started applying them, and why I think they matter for anyone working toward something important.

If you’ve ever wondered how to quiet the noise, stay present, and perform when it counts, this episode is for you.

Today’s episode is Part 1 of my conversation with Emma Murray — a high-performance mindset and mindfulness coach who helps people perform well under pressure.

Emma works with corporate leaders, students, performers, and elite athletes — including Oscar Piastri, Richmond Football Club, and Dusty Martin — but what makes her work so powerful is how transferable it is.

She’s one of the most sought-after coaches in Australia, trusted by ASX 100 organisations, executives, and the education sector, not for hype or motivation, but for teaching practical skills that change how the mind responds in high‑pressure moments.

Emma’s approach helps individuals and teams improve attention control, confidence, motivation, and focus, often with sustainable, meaningful results in surprisingly short timeframes.

In this episode, we talk about pressure, state change, and self-belief, and why the same skills that support world‑class performance are just as relevant in classrooms, workplaces, and everyday life.

This isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about learning how to bring your A‑game more often, especially when it matters most.

Every January I reflect on what I didn’t achieve in the year past and then set new goals and resolutions to make them happen in the year to come. This year, I did it differently.

I pressed pause on the “not there yet” soundtrack and looked at the wins I’d overlooked:

• Learning an entirely new skillset (podcast tech jungle: mics, interfaces, software, lighting etc).
• Getting comfortable feeling vulnerable and being a beginner, over and over.
• Letting my story evolve. I launched this show to document my VO journey and realised I’m still learning the mindset and habits behind success in any field.
• Choosing contribution over comfort, because hearing from people who’ve actually done it doesn’t just help me; it helps the teens I teach and the everyone who listens to this show.
• Practicing everyday courage: stay where my feet are, not being afraid to make mistakes, sharing the process and keeping moving.

And here’s the deal, success isn’t one big leap. It’s a thousand tiny reps. It’s being authentic and showing up consistently. It’s being open to learning and not shying away from challenges. It can be hard but the reward is worth it. Hard now, easy later.

As we move into a new year, I’m doubling down on what’s working: keep learning from incredible people, build courage, stay curious, and be brave in small ways that add up. If that resonates with you, I think you’ll appreciate this solo episode.
