This episode is all about dropping the old “grind harder” narrative and redefining what real resilience looks like.

I sat down with Kristy Rene Odst, a holistic health coach, performance specialist, and all‑round force of nature—to talk about what it means to actually live and perform at your best without burning yourself to the ground.

We unpacked how much your mindset really drives everything, not just in combat sports or the gym, but in your everyday life. We talked language, self‑perception, and how the stories you tell yourself either keep you stuck or help you grow. Kristy shared how self‑compassion, shadow work, and vulnerability are game‑changers when it comes to building true strength—not just toughness for show.

She also makes a strong case for moving beyond hustle culture and actually treating your body and mind as a team—sleep, nutrition, stress, and spiritual well‑being included.

If you’re chasing performance but also want to feel good in your own skin, this conversation will hit home.

What You’ll Take Away:

• Why mindset is the foundation of both health and performance.
  
• How the language you use shapes your results.
  
• Why self‑compassion isn’t weakness—it’s the edge.
  
• How shadow work and embracing vulnerability make you more resilient, not less.
  
• How to shift out of hustle mode and into sustainable high performance.

If you’re ready to rethink toughness, embrace balance, and build resilience that actually lasts, give this one a listen.
