Stuck? Stop Overthinking & Start Moving: The 3-Step Game Plan to Get Unstuck Today | Episode 217

If you've been one foot in, one foot out, paralyzed by overthinking or unsure if your dream is even the right one… this episode is your reset. I break down the two kinds of stuck, the lie of perfection, and the exact actions to create momentum today. You'll leave with simple tools: my "three most important things" rule, the "all-in for four months" experiment, and the "perfect day" exercise that makes consistency doable (especially for moms with full plates). Action is the antidote to fear, let's go. What you'll learn: How to know which kind of "stuck" you're in (overthinking vs. unclear vision) Why perfectionism keeps you comfortable, and broke of momentum The courage trick that works in 60 seconds My 3x3 execution rule to move any goal forward before noon The "all-in for 4 months" experiment to get real clarity The "perfect day" schedule exercise that finally fits your life (nurses, moms, shift work, then this is for you) The mindset reframe: from "it's about me" → "it's about service" (and why your kids need to see you do this) Timestamps: 00:00 Two client calls, two kinds of stuck 04:42 When you say you want it…but your actions don't 09:18 Perfection is a lie keeping you comfortable 12:05 Action is the antidote to fear (story + teen sports example) 16:20 You don't need more time—you need more courage 18:03 The 3 most important things (do them before noon) 20:15 The 4-month "all-in" experiment for clarity 23:10 Social media seesaw: honor yourself and be consistent 25:02 The Perfect Day exercise (shift work + mom life) 29:40 The "selfish" trap → make it about impact 31:10 Your challenge this week + DM me your win Subscribe To My Newsletter: https://moirakfitness.activehosted.com/f/28 Join My FREE High Vibe Life Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/811935653862055 Learn more about MAKE Wellness: https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=74249EEEC5 FREE Habit Tracker https://bit.ly/HighVibeHabitTracker Rise up planner + Book Of Proof Journal https://bit.ly/moirakucababooks Rise Up Course https://bit.ly/moirariseupcourse Follow Me On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moirakucaba/?hl=en Watch On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@moirakucaba5802 Keywords: get unstuck, stop overthinking, perfectionism, take action, build consistency, morning routine, productivity for moms, courage, vision, values, perfect day planning, three most important things, social media boundaries, entrepreneurship, mindset shift, manifestation in action

Raising Confident Girl Athletes: The Mental Game Every Parent Needs with Coach Breanne Smedley | Episode 213

What's the right thing to say before the game to build her confidence? What's the right thing to say after when she's beating herself up or crying? This episode changed everything for me and it will for you too! I'm sitting down with Coach Bre Smedley, former college athlete and co-founder of The Elite Competitor, to talk about what it really takes to raise confident girl athletes (and this totally applies to boys too!) — the kind who can bounce back after mistakes, play free under pressure, and believe in themselves (no matter what the scoreboard says). We're breaking down Bre's signature LOVE post-game framework, how to build a calming pre-game ritual that steadies the nerves, and why real confidence has nothing to do with perfection — and everything to do with self-trust. In this episode, you'll learn: • How Bre went from quitting before college to walking on — and earning a full-ride scholarship • The quick quiz that gets athletes hooked on the mental game • What to say (and what to skip) before and after games • The LOVE framework that can totally change your car rides home • Why your best role as a parent isn't "coach" — it's "calm, steady presence" Timestamps • 00:01:53 Bre's story: quitting, regret, and the walk-on chance that changed it all • 00:04:12 From practice invite → roster spot → full-ride scholarship • 00:10:36 How The Elite Competitor and the "Competitor Style" quiz were born • 00:19:04 Pregame wisdom for parents: short phrases + steady routines • 00:22:03 Post-game LOVE Framework: Let. Open. Validate. Encourage. • 00:31:24 Inside the program: coaching calls, "coach-on-call" texting, and pro-level guest mentors Resources & Guest Links • Follow Coach Bre on Instagram → @elitecompetitorcoach (https://instagram.com/elitecompetitorcoach) • Grab the free training for moms + program info → https://trainhergame.com Subscribe To My Newsletter: https://moirakfitness.activehosted.com/f/28 Join My FREE High Vibe Life Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/811935653862055 Learn more about MAKE Wellness: https://meet.makewellness.com/?referral=74249EEEC5 FREE Habit Tracker https://bit.ly/HighVibeHabitTracker Rise up planner + Book Of Proof Journal https://bit.ly/moirakucababooks Rise Up Course https://bit.ly/moirariseupcourse Follow Me On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moirakucaba/?hl=en Watch On Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@moirakucaba5802
