Hey friend,
Whew. I’ve been sick. Like—lay on the couch and feel like a used dishrag kind of sick. 😅
And this week? I’ve been slowly crawling back to normal… but let me tell you—it’s a weird feeling.
That moment when your body’s not 100%, your energy’s all over the place, and your mindset just feels… off.
Whether you’ve been sick, burned out, or just thrown off your routine—getting back in the saddle (mentally and physically) is no joke.
So on this week’s podcast, I’m keeping it real and walking you through what I actually do when I’m feeling out of sync.
💡 Not gonna lie—it’s not sexy. It’s not complicated. But it works.
I’m talking:
The breathwork that helped me stop spinning mentally
How gratitude (yep, that thing you roll your eyes at) completely shifted my mood
And why mindset maintenance is so much easier than a full-blown meltdown comeback
You don’t have to push or hustle your way back.
You just have to tend to your mindset again.
🎧 Hit play on this week’s episode:
#165 From Sick Days to Success: Rebuilding Momentum in Your Mindset & Riding
Because truth is—we’re not robots. We’re riders. We’re human.
We have messy weeks. Sick days. Slumps.
But your comeback? It starts the moment you shift your mental state—not the second you saddle up again.
👇 Wanna do this reset with me?
Inside 5 Days to Confident Competitor, I walk you through five short audio trainings that get your head back in the game—without overthinking, guilt, or pressure.
It’s the kind of quick mental tune-up I wish more riders had before a show (or even just a random Tuesday).
So if you’ve been feeling like your brain’s lagging behind your goals?
This is your invitation to reset.
I’m right here with ya,
Nicole 🤠
