This week on the PerformHappy Podcast, I got to switch things up—I was the one answering the questions!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Lacey Rochelle from Shine Health Coaching to dive deep into the science behind fear and how it shows up in performance. We unpacked quick, practical tips for staying present when the pressure’s on, and talked about what it really takes to move from stuck to confident.

Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or a coach, you’ll hear how the right kind of support—from coaches, parents, and teammates—can make all the difference in building trust and resilience.

If you’re looking for a mindset shift to finally kick those mental blocks and get into flow, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Coach Rebecca and Lacey Rochelle talk about:

Performance Anxiety in Sports.

The Role of Exposure in Overcoming Fear.

Navigating Public Pressure and Performance.

Experiencing Flow in Sports.

The Importance of Being Present.

Understanding the Human Brain's Response to Threat.

Building Stress Tolerance and Resilience.

The Importance of Support Networks.

Key Tips for Optimal Mental Performance.

“If you don't think you're good enough, you perform like that." - Rebecca Smith
