We’ve talked about how to handle the normal hurdles that might prevent us from maintaining a high performance lifestyle, but what about when something truly massive and unexpected comes up to throw us off track?

This is something Ali Flynn has excessive experience with, having overcome a traumatic childhood, strokes, chronic illnesses and more to then launch and run 3 businesses while also becoming a triathlete.


In this episode Ali share:


  • Her personal background and how it started her journey to high performance
  • The moment she had a stroke as a mother of 3 kids
  • The massive high performance goals she set and achieved post stroke
  • The boundaries she put in place to help her avoid burning out post stroke
  • Her advice for how to face adversity in a positive way and not become bitter
  • How to set your values
  • How she allowed different habits and activities in her life at different times depending on whether they served her or not
  • Her non negotiables that allow her to prioritise herself and her health
  • How she handles having to drop things when disasters and crises hit
  • Her advice on how to transition to a new goal gradually and not suddenly
  • The 3 things that help her stay at the top
